Diving In

It's the second half of your life...what if you were able to make deeply profound, life-altering, and lasting changes? Diving In offers manageable formulas for creating healthy growth-oriented relationships, enhancing creativity and effectiveness, and surmounting even the most robust personal problems. On the surface, Diving In is a story about nine characters attending a dive workshop on the 110-ft dive vessel Explorer. The workshop includes daily sessions that plumb the depths of personality followed by scuba diving sessions that allow the nine participants to explore the spectacular coral reefs of Indonesia while reflecting on their own reactions to the teaching sessions. Bodnarczuk's use of scuba diving metaphors, interwoven with a post Jungian psychology and the Enneagram, weaves a tapestry of complex characters' lives and teaches fundamental principles of psychological growth in a reflective story form. Bodnarczuk penetrates beyond the superficial and obvious to a deeper analysis of relationships, creative abilities, and effective ageing.
