Rebecca McClen Novick

I'm a natural nomad, having lived in England, California, India, and now France. I'm trying to learn what it means to 'settle down'. I now have a cat so that helps, but for me travel is part of a spiritual path. I have a passion for learning about new cultures and different ways of thinking and viewing the world. After a few decades studying Tibetan Buddhism, I am now forging a more personal spiritual path embracing influences from both Eastern and Western philosophical systems, the Greeks in particular. I am a big fan of Carl Jung, particularly his work on the shadow and the anima/animus principles, which I hope to write about in the future. I am currently amusing my friends by learning French and am constantly developing short story ideas and struggling with finding the discipline and craft with which to set them down.
