When life moves on while we grow estranged
Mundus Imaginalis opens up a space for understanding and exploring the experience of estrangement. Adjusting to new roles, places, and relationships can unsettle us, to the point where even the familiar and the everyday can become a challenge. We invite you to look more closely at anxiety, sadness, emotional exhaustion, loneliness, fatigue, and a sense of direction that seems to be slipping away. With kindness and the freedom to choose, we can turn our attention to the discord and discrepancies within and around us.
In Search Of A Place
For a while, we can be quite good at concealing the feeling that something is beginning to crack in our relationship with where we are, with others, and with our own lives. Gradually, a sense of heaviness, monotony, and dissatisfaction can take over the everyday, making it increasingly difficult to find energy even for ourselves. Moving or returning, beginning or parting, the unfamiliar or the familiar — sometimes we find ourselves somewhere in between. Mundus Imaginalis offers space to look for a direction and discover a horizon.
Periods of Transition, Crisis and Change
In the midst of becoming — between leaving and returning, parting and reunion, victory and loss — lies the place of change.

Change and Crisis
The soul, according to folk belief, appears in two inseparable images—shadow and breath. But can you call back a sigh, or escape your own shadow?
- Change is what marks the difference. A different role, a new guise, an inner upheaval in which we barely recognise ourselves in the mirror. And then come adjustment, habit, concealment, and the forgetting of what once was, so that what is can come to be. Or perhaps they never come, and we may find ourselves gazing towards a once and a somewhere.
- Change mobilises the body’s resources and evokes a response that may be accompanied by emotional upheaval. This can also occur with events usually regarded as positive—moving to a new home or city, beginning a new relationship, job or course of study; the birth of a child; or the beginning of a life together.
- A crisis is a turning point, a decisive moment—a period of mounting tension and exposed vulnerability. It may be experienced as a threat or danger, or reveal itself as an opportunity for growth. Within it, exhaustion and uncertainty may encounter both the desire and the need for change.
- As a crisis deepens, feelings, thoughts, and actions begin to change. The sense of order and control is shaken, and the feeling of meaning begins to crack. Confused, unable to act or respond, a person may struggle to recognise themselves. Experience remains fragmented, distanced from desire, and intensify the sense of loneliness.
About Mundus Imaginalis
Descending into the intimate world of our experience is an expression of nature's vitality and of human courage. It is also a privilege for the person invited to accompany us on that journey. The approach to this exploration brings together knowledge from cultural, differential, and clinical psychology with psychodrama and depth-oriented psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a method of treatment through following and listening within speech, and an effort to reach towards the experiences of our lives in their wholeness - so that experience may become less fragmented, more thinkable, and what is happening may be met in a more human way.
