Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth, that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Circles.”
The Rose you hold in your hands is the last to be published under the auspices of the
Natural Spirituality program at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Athens,GA. The Rose at Emmanuel is retiring. The path opens for The Rose in the World! This new independent journal will be available for purchase by subscription and will be published annually in February, a good time for seeds to turn in the ground! Issues will be expanded to 40 pages, a nice Biblical number, and will include The Haden Institute Summer Dream and Spirituality Conference keynote lectures as well as community-wide submissions. The Rose in the World will continue to connect dream groups all over the country and abroad, and will provide a forum for our faith communities engaged in constellating inner work in their daily walk with God. The bright Sarah Norton is joining as the Assistant Editor, and I will continue as the Editor-in-Chief. To subscribe for 2015, see details on page 31. It is a new day, and we are poised for a magnificent adventure. The mysterious figure on the cover of this issue is a provocative image for this transition we find ourselves in at The Rose. In solitude, the robed figure unswervingly heads into the unknown, numinous with possibility. As is always the way with The Rose, the choice of the cover image is bathed in synchronicity. I have had the artwork in my files for many years. It is by retired priest and professor, Glen Williams of Traverse City, MI. He created the drawing in response to his reading, Dark Wood toWhite Rose: Journey and Transformation in Dante’s Divine Comedy by esteemed Jungian teacher Helen Luke, with whom he met for counseling sessions for thirteen years. In Issue2 of The Rose, Glen tells the poignant story of his planting rose bushes given to him by Helen Luke toward the end of her life. The very first blossom was a beautiful white rose. When I sent the cover to Joyce to ponder, she had just received a message from her cousin in Traverse City, who recounted a meaningful meeting with Glen Williams in 2002 at Grace Episcopal Church. Her cousin had been enthralled by the story of Helen’s rose bushes just at the time Joyce was beginning a fledgling newsletter called The Rose. And so, in a marvelous and resplendent full circle synchronicity, the path opens in 2014 for a new season of The Rose. “Around every circle another can be drawn.” Thank you to Emmanuel Episcopal Church, to the rectors past and present who have offered a word and a blessing, Rev.Peter Courtney, Rev. Mandy Brady, and Rev. Robert Salamone; to Melissa Fulcher for administrative support and to Karen Holland for her eternal good cheer in handling the finances; to members of The Rose Board and leaders of the Natural Spirituality program, Agnes Parker and Heidi Simmonds; to every member of Emmanuel’s time-honored dream groups; to Janet Robertson for proclaiming that I could be an editor; to Lane Norton, Sted Mays, Martha DeBaugrine, Carol Downs, Robin Johnson, Laura Sampson, Allison Grant, Lisa Foreman, Sara Baker and Beth Zorbanos for unwavering encouragement; to Patti Frankel, Helen Brandenburg, Joyce Diltz, Suzanne Reamy, Cathy Zeph, Nikki Chenault, Rachelle Oppenhuizen, Heidi Darr-Hope, Jeremy Taylor, Cathy Smith Bowers and Chelsea Wakefield for kind words from afar; to the late Betty Sheerer and the Winterville dream group, Aline Robolin, Martha Jo Smith, Nancy Carter, Margaret Strahl, Virginia Carver, Jocelyn Deal, and the late Charlotte Reinke; to Bob Haden and the Haden Institute; to Susan Sims-Smith and Larry Maze at Seedwork; to Coleman Barks for the open-ended use of the beloved Rumi poetry; to all the poets, writers, and artists who have enriched The Rose; to the two troops of “monkeys” for financial undergirding; and to Don Law and my dear family. Lastly, we offer gratitude for Wanda Krewer’s initial inspiration, and to Joyce Rockwood Hudson, whose midwifery birthed The Rose. We are deeply beholden to Joyce for "inviting Wisdom into our lives and churches" with an ardor that has nurtured The Rose at Emmanuel for lo these many moons. In you, dear Joyce, Sophia is well pleased.

A NOTE FROM Joyce Rockwood Hudson
A NOTE FROM Sarah Norton THE ASSISTANT EDITOR
The Rose In The World
The Rose is The Rose
There is nothing else on the planet like The Rose. There This is a very exciting time for The Rose and I am honored are plenty of Jungian societies and Jungian periodicals. There are even more churches, synagogues, and mosques putting out traditional religious periodicals. But there is not another periodical in the world that puts Jungian inner work together with traditional religion. The result is something more than either traditional religion or Jungian psychology. It is a new synergy, a new way of being religious, a new way of being Jungian. How to describe these new ways? The Rose reflects a new way of being religious in that Jungian inner work brings God’s revelation—God’s incarnation—into the present in a real way that produces an ongoing stream of epiphany and wonder. The Rose is aware of our scriptural heritage and often refers to it, but the focus of The Rose is not on the wonders of God’s revelation in the past but on the wonders of God’s revelation today. Dreamwork, synchronicity, and other aspects of a Jungianeducated dialogue with the unconscious make this possible. The Rose reflects a new way of being Jungian in that it is overtly religious.The Rose tells stories of God, not of psychology. It does use Jungian psychology—indeed, it embraces it—but it does not share the Jungian world’s claim to be beyond traditional religion, and thus beyond traditional religious language. The Rose is a remarkably intelligent religious publication, and yet it does not take so high an intellectual and scientific approach as a Jungian periodical does. It is not so dry as that. It has more soul, more heart. That The Rose has existed for thirteen years solely on contributions from its readers, and especially on fairly large contributions from a dedicated core of readers, is nothing short of amazing. This dedicated core—the Monkeys and Super Monkeys—who have steadfastly given their money to support The Rose, have done so because they recognize the value of the rich new land that The Rose is helping to bring into existence. They know this land to be nothing less than newly discovered territory in the Kingdom of God. They themselves have settled down to live in this new place, and they want to help others discover it, too. The Rose at Emmanuel has not run out of money. These Monkeys and Super Monkeys would keep on giving for as long as they were asked. But those of us who have been in charge of taking in their money have come to feel that this way of supporting The Rose has run its course. These 150 or so faithful donors should not forever be asked to fund The Rose for the more than 3,000 people who receive it. We think the readership are ready to carry their own load for The Rose. The Rose is unique because it reports on a unique new territory, a land of overtly religious people dedicated to the soul-enriching, life-enhancing fruits of Jungian inner work. For more than a decade The Rose has played a key role in creating community in this new land, and it will continue to do so for years to come.

and blessed to be joining the line of courageous and brilliant editors of this publication. In many ways, this seems, to me, to hearken back to the days of the master and his apprentice; each of us comes forward into our own voice and space in this publication thanks to the guiding hand of those who came before us. In many ways, this is in keeping with another part of my life, the PhD student. This winter I embark on the journey of dissertation writing, taking my place in the line of scholarship of Depth Psychology following in the footsteps of James Hillman, Marion Woodman, Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, and many others straight back to the alchemists and beyond. I am excited to embark on this journey with The Rose and my scholarly journey simultaneously and look forward to where each may take me. As the assistant editor to The Rose in the World, or as we will still affectionately call it, The Rose, I will be focused not only on assisting the editor with the publication itself but also in literally taking The Rose into the world more widely. I will be working on building a website for The Rose where we hope to have digital copies available and at some point a digital issue complete with color illustrations. For those of you who have known this publication from the beginning, my hope is to assist in the ongoing mission of inviting wisdom into every aspect of life. Sophia will continue to be our guide as we move forward. In that spirit, here is a quote about the divine feminine from Jung that has inspired me as I imagine where The Rose can take us:
As the matrix, the vessel, the earth, she can be interpreted allegorically as the rotundum, … as the globe with the four quarters,… as the “four-square” Heavenly City, or the ‘flower of the sea, in which Christ lies hidden’--in a word, as a mandala. This according to the Tantric idea of the lotus, is feminine…The lotus is the eternal birthplace of the gods. It corresponds to the Western rose in which the King of Glory sits, often supported by the four evangelists, who correspond to the four quarters. (C.G. Jung, 1938, Collected Works vol. 11, ¶ 123) In this spirit of wholeness, wisdom, and connection, The Rose in the World will be lovingly nurtured into its new
form over the following months. The familiar Rose we all know will continue to blossom and begin to root even more deeply into the widening lotus of the world it can become. I hope you will continue to accompany us on this journey.
Warmly,
Sarah Norton

M O N K E y s W e H A v e known And loved!
I
n March of this year, I sat down at my desk to pen a thank you letter to the collective of devoted Rose supporters affectionately known to us as the Hundred Monkey Troop.You know the mostly true story of the hundredth monkey:
In the 1950s, scientists began provisioning monkeys on a Japanese island with sweet potatoes that they scattered out for them on the beach.The monkeys ate the sandy potatoes just as they found them, until one day a young monkey came up with an innovation: she took her sweet potato to some water and washed it. Some of the other monkeys saw her doing this and picked up the practice, too. Over the next few years, more and more monkeys began washing their sweet potatoes, until finally a critical mass was reached and a paradigm shift took place. Now monkeys everywhere were washing their potatoes.The tipping point in this development is symbolized by the 100th Monkey. Up through the first 99 monkeys, the popular story goes, washing sweet potatoes was a relatively isolated activity. With the 100th Monkey the critical mass was reached that set off the paradigm shift for the entire culture.
W
hat a fitting and delightful moniker it has been—the Hundred Monkey Troop—for a group of fearless souls willing to fund a seedling of a newsletter, pledging to donate up to $100 dollars per year to cover production costs for The Rose. The Hundred Monkeys' devotion to illuminating and to advocating for a new way of integrating inner work into every day Christian life has been critical. In gratitude, I share a part of the text of the letter written earlier this year, as change, amid the everlasting promise of spring was just making itself known:
At this writing, many of you intuitive monkeys may have already heard the winds of change blowing through the tree leaves of the jungle. The Rose at Emmanuel is retiring. You, beloved Hundred Monkeys, have been exceedingly generous with your support which has allowed The Rose to move gracefully and freely from reader to reader, from dream group to dream group. Many of you have been contributors from the beginning, answering Joyce Rockwood Hudson’s call twelve years ago for a troop to help fund the production costs of The Rose. Some of you have just joined. It is your commitment, all, that has kept The Rose blooming with its mission of inviting Wisdom into our lives and churches. I am reminded of the Asian langurs or leaf monkeys, a unique kind, living near people, and even entering temples and churches. These “temple monkeys” are regarded as sacred. The Hundred Monkey Troop has fulfilled a unique and sacred promise which has given The Rose the ability to move into temple and church and out in the world.

ith change comes new opportunity, and what looks like an ending is really a beginning! For as The Rose under the auspices of the Natural Spirituality program at Emmanuel Church in Athens comes to a close, a new path opens for The Rose in the World as an independent publication by subscription. I will continue as the editor with the capable and artistic Sarah Norton as assistant editor. We are excited about the new horizons.
D
ear Reader, let it be known that as we move forward this editor looks back to say thank you in full measure and with great-hearted love to the Super Monkeys, that group of mightily generous individuals who together compensated the hours required to edit, proof, design and manage The Rose. Truly, my cup runneth over! Now, the members of the monkey troops can take their rest in a cool shade tree in the jungle.
A
nd so, we bid farewell to the Hundred Monkey Troop and the Super Monkeys. As we establish a new funding model, we hope to count you among the subscribers for The Rose in the World in 2015. For now, with full hearts, we say Godspeed to a merry and devoted band of true and faithful supporters as The Rose at Emmanuel retires. We are everlastingly grateful. Peggy Thrasher Law

Summer Dream & Spirituality Conference
God’s Forgotten Language May 24-29, 2015
A Haden Institute Program, Kanuga Conference Center, Hendersonville, NC
A
tradition was begun in the summer of 2003—a major conference for all who want to recover the Biblical tradition of listening for God’s word in our nightly dreams.The early church theologian Tertullian asked: Is it not known to all people that the dream is the most usual way of God’s revelation to humankind? Later generations came to discount dreams, at great loss to our collective soul. Now, however, we are seeing a resurgence of respect and honor for our dreams. Each summer has brought a larger crowd to the Summer Dream & Spirituality Conference, which has become, at present, the primary portal for Christian dreamwork in our day. Each conference is for clergy, counselors, therapists, lay dream group leaders, dream group members, and anyone who wants to integrate dreamwork into his or her life in a religious context.
