Transcript: Welcome to the Inner Compass Academy — A Depth Psychology and Jungian

Coaching Certification

Spoken by Vanessa Bennett

Hi, I’m Vanessa Bennett, founder of the Inner Compass Academy. If you’ve landed here,

something in you is likely seeking a different way of working with people — and with yourself.

A way rooted in depth, embodiment, meaning, the collective, and the human soul. That longing

is intentional. And it’s exactly what this depth psychology training was created to address.

In my years as a depth psychotherapist and facilitator, I’ve witnessed how many therapists,

coaches, and guides sense a gap in the current landscape of healing. Mindset tools alone don’t

create lasting transformation. Techniques alone don’t reach the unconscious. And advice-giving

doesn’t touch the deeper psyche — the symbolic, emotional, archetypal layers where real change

begins.

We’re living through a collective initiation. The old models of helping no longer hold. And being

able to hold transformative space should not be reserved for the few with the time, money, and

privilege to access depth psychology, somatic training, or Jungian and archetypal frameworks.

These teachings once belonged to the community — to anyone walking the path of becoming.

What we need now are practitioners who remember this. People who can hold space for both the

personal and collective psyche. People who understand shadow work, archetypal psychology,

somatic practice, and the deeper layers of oppression and conditioning that keep us small, silent,

or disconnected from our own inner authority. We need guides willing to wake up to the systems

we’re living inside — and to help others reclaim their sovereignty, depth, and inner truth.

The Inner Compass Academy is a 10-week live, immersive training and certification program in

depth psychology, Jungian coaching, archetypal and imaginal frameworks, somatic and spiritual

psychology, dreamwork, and shadow work. This program is designed for therapists, coaches,

healers, and seekers who want to integrate depth into their life and practice — and who feel

called to walk the lifelong path of individuation with more awareness and integrity.

Inside the Academy, you’ll learn not just theory but embodied application. You’ll explore how to

hold a depth-oriented therapeutic or coaching container, how to work with transference and

countertransference, how to understand the symbolic language of the unconscious, and how to

guide transformation ethically. You’ll learn to serve others the way guides and elders once did —

standing at the threshold between the seen and the unseen, between what is conscious and what

has been forgotten.

Over the course of 10 weeks, you’ll join me and a team of depth-oriented faculty for live Sunday

classes, weekly office hours, supervised practice sessions, and real-world experience inside my

private community. You’ll receive personalized feedback, mentorship, and support as you refine

your craft. The Academy is also CE-eligible through CAMFT, so licensed therapists can earn

continuing education hours while deepening into a more integrative, soul-centered approach.

Whether you’re building a coaching practice, expanding your therapeutic presence, or beginning

your own personal initiation into depth psychology, this program gives you the structure, tools,

and foundation to live and serve with more depth — and with a greater connection to your own

soul.

If you feel the pull toward this work — if something in you knows you’re meant to hold space in

a more grounded, intuitive, and depth-oriented way — I’d love to invite you to join the next

cohort of the Inner Compass Academy. The waitlist is open now, and I would be honored to walk

this path with you.
