Journey of the Soul
Janet Saunders
In this review I will set out my starting thoughts, hopes and values. Then there are two journeys that follow. One is through the ideas gleaned from my sources, in particular the Corpus Hermeticum, Ficino’s Three Books on Life and the thought of Ibn ‘Arabi. The idea of the soul making a journey from the divine realm to earth and back, became a play that would provide a container for much that I had in mind, so I show how some of the ideas were incorporated into the different roles. The next journey is through the production of the play itself, its rehearsals and performance. Finally, there is a moment to anchor the experience back to my starting point.
