Garden of the Soul Overview

Garden of the Soul is a unique approach that merges psychological insights with metaphorical garden imagery to facilitate self-discovery and personal growth. It draws inspiration from Carl Jung's concepts, aiming to explore and understand the unconscious forces driving an individual. Through the garden metaphor, users can reflect on various aspects of their psyche, including influences from others, personal shadows, emotional and rational sides, and their true self. For instance, envisioning a garden that's influenced by external expectations versus one's true desires can help users discern their authentic paths. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
