Nonnie Cullipher spent years holding space for people to do their deep inner work at Journey Into Wholeness events, where Robert Johnson did some of his richest storytelling and teaching. She opened her heart wide to receive myself and every other inquiring mind who arrived. I can't think of a better person to envision, curate, and construct this collection of stories from and about Robert. She is a discriminating, wise, and humor-filled master of the craft of pulling people together and drawing out their cherished tales. - Tayria Ward, Ph.D., Founder of Bridging Worlds One could see clearly that the people loved--actually, 'adored' would be the better word -- this master storyteller. Everyone referred to him as 'Robert, ' and we all knew immediately who was meant when that name was mentioned. There was only one Robert. - Murray Stein, PhD Robert Johnson was a masterful storyteller. He knew the potency of a metaphor, which, when received by the listener, can simultaneously interest the intellect, energize the body, and evoke the soul. Robert's investment in story is rooted in the humus of what Jung described as the collective unconscious: the richly layered, symbolic language of thousands of years of humans trying to understand how to be fully human in a soul-filled body. - Paula M. Reeves, PhD Robert wanted people, through stories, to consider their own complexes, healing, potentials, self-imposed restrictions, initiatory experiences, and the individuation journey. He would be pleased to hear us discussing and wrestling with them. - Barry Williams, PsyD Robert understood that it is through myth, fairy tale, and story that humankind expresses and records those collective, archetypal dreams that bring meaning to the human experience. He favored story. As in a dream, these stories give image and voice to aspects of our personalities that are out of balance. - Pete Williams, PhD More so than anyone I had previously met, Robert was enigmatically self-contained... otherworldly. Maybe that's why I was almost always speechless in his presence. His quiet and gentle spirit invited a space for reflection, where words sometimes seemed superfluous. - Virginia Apperson, PhD
