We live in a world that often prizes rationality, practicality, and the things that can be seen, measured, and explained. But what about our dreams, fantasies, feelings, intuitions, and the stories that have lived inside us since childhood? Are these simply distractions from reality, or might they be essential ways of knowing and being alive? โฃ

Drawing on ideas from Carl Jung and her own experiences of living with one foot in the โ€œreal worldโ€ and one in the world of imagination, she invites us to reconsider the value of our inner lives. Through stories, reflections, and her handmade dolls, Erika asks us to entertain a provocative possibility: that the unseen world within us may be every bit as real, and as important, as the world outside us.โฃ
