sessions - sacred river

Intensive consultations are an integral part of the work for anyone wishing to explore a particular situation or problem they’re encountering in either their inner or outer worlds, or for anyone interested in or committed to a journey of deep exploration. Intensives are an appropriate entry-point to begin explore working with Sacred River.

Intensive sessions last an hour-and-a-half, and may be conducted either in person or online.

We use intensive sessions for:

Creative Soul-Craft. We attend to the dis-order and wounds of soul and spirit along the lines of teachings from Carl Jung and Archetypal Psychology. That our inner beings require closer attention and care, becomes especially clear when we experience physical or psychological dis-order, spiritual emergencies or concerns, or any kind of pressing ‘problem’ or crisis. Soul often manifests seemingly random, unrelated, external events like accidents, crises, physical illness and trouble with relationships, money or work to draw attention to deep inner urgencies. Intensives may also involve couples-sessions to attend to relationships.

Supplementing a comprehensive program of personal transformation. You may already be deeply involved through such other work as Immersions, Circles and Courses. Here, Intensives serve to discover precise, deep and informed guidance and focussed attention for where you are at in your inner work right now.

Testimonials

‘It took a while to bring myself to go to therapy. Then I met Fritz and now I can’t believe what I was missing out on for so long. Fritz and I have been meeting once a week, most weeks, over the past two-and-a-bit years, either in person or via Zoom. Our work together has been a game-changer for me. Then, recently we did a five-day one-on-one retreat, which he custom-designed, knowing exactly what I needed. It was invaluable. I ‘challenged him’ to do ‘part 2’ in 2025 as I enjoyed it so much! It included meditation, breath-work, alone time, cooking together, reading and deep discussions. I highly recommend anyone wondering about doing this, to take the plunge!’ – Business Owner, London, England
Testimonials

‘I consider myself to have been hugely fortunate in my life to have had the opportunity to learn, evolve and grow thanks to my ten or so years of therapy with our very special Fritz. Given that I am now in my seventies and have been in therapy for forty years, I feel entitled to say with confidence that Fritz was my best and most constructive experience. And I say this with deep gratitude in my heart.’ – Retired ex-business-owner, Cape Town, South Africa
Testimonials

‘I have worked with Fritz for several years. My work with him has been integral to my own journey and understanding of myself. We have worked together using many tools: imaginal therapy, I Ching, astrology, and meditation, to name a few. He has guided me towards tools that I use in my everyday life and has assisted me in developing a deep level of self-inquiry. I am grateful for the work we have done together and look forward to continuing our partnership.’ – Teacher and practitioner of Acupuncture, Lausanne, Switzerland
Testimonials

‘I was going through a deep dark time. Totally overwhelmed and struggling to overcome it. Fortunately, we were introduced. We worked together for a few weeks. I had to prepare myself for an even harder time ahead. Fritz has been 100% a blessing for me. Every meet we had helped me to rearrange my thoughts in a completely understandable and rewarding way. Our short time together prepared me to tackle the hard task ahead. Now, walking through it successfully is a tribute to someone who knows exactly how to help a person in need. Very grateful, thank you Fritz.’ – Caregiver, Cape Town, South Africa
Testimonials

‘I was referred to Fritz by a friend as I was particularly interested in Archetypal Psychology. I’ve been working with him for over two years and to this day he helped me challenge my beliefs and ideas, and delve into the soul by arousing my imaginal, symbolic and dream world. His sensitive and caring personality has always made me feel stirringly safe. Fritz‘s vast knowledge of Archetypal and Depth Psychology, Astrology and spiritual teachings has been most mind-broadening. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fritz to anyone who wishes to go deeper into their soul-searching quest. It has been a life-changing encounter for me.’ – Retired Director of Multi-National Corporation, Chateau-d’Oex, Switzerland
Testimonials

‘I worked with Fritz for over four years and he has been a wise and compassionate guide throughout our work together. I was able to start exploring some very deep fears, to start getting in touch with the darker sides of myself and of life. His nuanced interpretation of the I Ching and Astrology really helped me see things from a much wider, more cosmic perspective. Our sessions opened me up to more poetry and mystery and depth in a way that has changed the way I live and the way I work. Thank you with all my heart.’ – Psychotherapist, Lausanne, Switzerland
Testimonials

‘I met Fritz in 2008. Until then, I had experienced therapists, counsellors and self-proclaimed ‘healers’ and ‘sages’ as skipping stones off the surface of a silent, serene lake. Fritz went deep, deeper, and deeper still. He threw in rocks, which splashed, caused echoes and disturbed the equilibrium. And he did so with profound serenity, humour, grace and humility. Over the years he helped me to forge ahead, cut through my own stories, find new meadows and crevices of my soul, and to let go the hindrances of my ego. When I’m entangled in yarns of my own making, I know Fritz can help me get disentangled. Through his listening, his reflections, the wisdom of teachers and sages he made his own; and once in a while by finding a correctly sized rock to throw in my pond.’ – Counsellor, Nyon, Switzerland

I Ching Inquiry. The I Ching is an ancient Chinese tradition of Psychology which can also be used for in-depth inquiry into some current pressing concern. It is particularly powerful to help us return to the flow of what Soul is requiring from us at this juncture on our path. The depth of its images and ideas are unparalleled and its wisdom permeates all the traditions mentioned on this website.

Astrological Inquiry. When used imaginatively, astrology is a powerful tool that gives us a detailed, multi-dimensional picture of our character and our authentic path through life. By engaging our chart metaphorically rather than as ‘truth’, through a process of inquiry rather than it telling us ‘who we are’, ‘what we should do’, or ‘what will happen to us’, the astrological chart becomes our companion on a journey through ‘the landscapes’ of our life. Through this inquiry we come closer to identify and articulate the questions of our heart, here, now. And so we receive direction for our next steps, for more deeply engaging our world. Sacred River offers several types of astrological consultations.
