Hey everyone,
The Avalonian Cycle of Healing is an initiation spiral that is a model for spiritual development. Throughout the course of many years, those following the cycle learn how to dig into their shadow self to reveal imperfections and problems, and then throughout the year teaches them how to deal with and resolve those issues. I've been following it myself for the last 3 years and it's fabulous.
