Awards and highlights:

  • My "award" is watching students metamorphize as the cataracts fall from their eyes when they begin to learn and enjoy learning-perhaps for the first time.
  • Dr. Lavin is a writer, a lecturer, and an educator. She lectures nationally and in Ireland about women's spirituality, typology, addictions and alchemy. Currently she is doing research about aging, using Jung's theory of individuation.
