About Kathleen Wiley
As a Jungian Analyst working with individuals, couples, and groups, my work focuses on empowering people to live out of a conscious relationship to the Self, the psychological structure where we are one with God.
I realize the importance of encountering God Within as part of the human experience and know this encounter happens in the physical body and interpersonal relationships. With this perspective, I write meditations on Biblical scriptures with an eye towards what they mean about our psyche/soul and offer Online Sacred Circles as self-study programs to take you on aĀ transformative journey to find your true self and live a joyful, fulfilling life.
I see Bible stories and images as symbols of our inner worlds, including our thoughts, feelings, sensations, intuitions, perceptions, impulses, and emotions. By contemplating the scriptures in this manner, we come to understand we are living beings who are manifestations of God. We begin to embrace and value who we are as everything in our nature holds a seed of the Divine.

Kathleen's Journey
Kathleen grew up in a Cooperative Baptist Church where Sunday School teachers and open-minded pastors taught her to study and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Starting in junior high school, she read and explored scripture passages using various commentaries, Bible dictionaries, and other study materials, though she initially struggled to understand the theological and practical meaning for her life.
Kathleenā€™s journey led her to a B.A. in Christian Education and a Masters in Human Development and Learning. She was then drawn to train professionally as a psychoanalyst in the tradition of Carl Jung because she saw his work as the best marriage of psychology and spirituality.
She is licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Professional Counselor and has a private practice in Davidson, North Carolina. She is a senior training analyst with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, a faculty member at The Haden Institute, and a presenter at various psycho-spiritual conferences in the Southeast.
Kathleen has authored two books: New Life: Symbolic Meditations on the Birth of Christ Within and New Life: Symbolic Meditations on the Promise of Nature and Spring.
