professional trainer and lecturer with a Psychology degree from
Oxford University and a PhD degree in Comparative Religion frrom

-
- Roger's
gifts and contributions are multi-faceted. Grounded in
psychotherapy and bodywork (Jung, Reich, Psychodrama and Gestalt),
he has the ability to bring people through deep transformative
experiences with deep compassion, creating an atmosphere that is
safe and contained. In addition, he has an extraordinary (and much
commented upon) ability to illuminate the broader spiritual
picture - everything from Sufism to Western mysticism to
Shakespeare - teaching with humor through poetry, music, story
abnd meditation. He also has a great gift for mime and comedic
fun! I feel very sorry for anyone who has never been visited by
his Great Goddess Gwendoline or watched and heard one of his Monty
Python episodes!
-
- Roger has
taught and published articles on dreamwork and meditation, the
Grail legend and the mysticism of Simone Weil. A lifelong student
of the perennial philosophy and the Christian mystical tradition,
he has also been deeply influenced by the practice of Buddhist
vipassana meditation. He has also given film seminars on Fellini,
Bergman and Cocteau and has led study tours on myth and religion
to Bali and to the South of France (the Troubadours, the Cathars
and the Holy Grail) Terra Sacra Tours. He is also an amateur
Shakespeare actor and teacher.
-
- Born a
British citizen, Roger has lived and taught Jung, myth and
comparative religion widely in North America. In 1996 he appeared
in the British Channel 4 television series "Transformation." In
1997 he was a keynote speaker at the first Brazilian International
Transpersonal Psychology Conference in Lindoya. The same year he
gave a highly acclaimed talk on "The Presence of Other Worlds in
Psychotherapy and Healing" at the Beyond the Brain Conference
co-sponsored by the British Scientific and Medical Network and the
Institute for Noetic Sciences (California) at Cambridge
University. He has been a guest professor at Vassar College, where

Woolger's first book,
Other Lives
Other Selves,
(Doubleday, 1987) is an innovative synthesis of Jungian depth
psychology, bodywork, yoga psychology and eastern meditation
principles. It is widely regarded as the definitive work in the
field of deep process therapy. He has discussed and demonstrated
the work on American, Canadian and Italian network television to
much acclaim. It has been translated into German, Dutch, Spanish,
Portuguese and French.
-
- His second
book, The
Goddess Within
(Ballantine, 1989) (with Jennifer Barker) is a guide to the new
psychology of the feminine as mirrored in the myths and conflicts
of the Greek goddesses. It has appeared in Germany and
Brazil.

- As a tour

teacher who has been leading tours of southern France for over
thirty years, speaks French and will translate for tour members,
