He went on to study English Literature at Cambridge University in the turbulent mind-expanding late 1960's. Bennett took to Buddhist meditation, Jungian Psychology and the Sufi Order International. After graduating 1971 he travelled with Sufis to the Glastonbury Fayre to attend that epic festival of music and spirituality. There he met the publisher of this book who invited him to move to Edinburgh, Scotland, to help run Gandalf's Garden Seed Center, a mystical discussion center that accepted all insights.
For there Bennett's interest in dream led him to Dr. Winifred Rushforth, a pioneer in dream groups, who combined a Jungian perspective with eclectic spirituality. Bennett then helped in the creation of the Salisbury Centre, that still offers meditation, yoga and tai chi, crafts, dream groups and the study of mystical writings from all religions.
Bennett next felt drawn to psychotherapy. To gain a solid background in a helping profession he entered a two year intensive Social Work graduate program at Edinburgh University, 1974- 1976. Bennett then worked as a psychiatric social worker training in family systems therapy. Next while working at a psychiatric hospital he also studied psychodynamic therapy, the human potential movement, and attended workshops with Bly, Meade and Hillman of the Men's Movement. In 1982 he came to USA for a certificate-training program in Gestalt Therapy in Boston, MA. There he met his current wife Judy and settled there. After working for seven years in a Boston Addictions Treatment Centre, Bennett became an independent practitioner with a licensed private practice in Arlingto. MA.
Bennett has maintained a passionate interest in dreams, mythology, eco-psychology, archetypal psychology and male psychology, and this book has emerged from the disparate experiences of a searching life, in an attempt to understand his and our place in the wider universe of which we are a part.voir moins
