Jung After Work
|
Join us after work on the third Monday of each month for a series of FREE monthly 30-minute lectures about Jungian psychology, followed by a 30-minute discussion.
Registration RSVP to katavsar@me.com Due to limited space, registration is limited to the first 20. WorkPlay Conference Room
500 23rd Street South Birmingham, AL 35233 Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries.
—Carl Jung Do you ever have the feeling that something is missing in your life? The quote above about wholeness provides a clue to addressing that feeling. Do our lives have meaning? Am I living MY life?
We won’t begin to fully answer these questions, but we do hope to have fun asking them and attempting to answer… What we often fail to realize, is that it is not the answer to the question that is important, but the struggle in finding it that brings about the most change. Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people.
—Carl Jung |

Masks and Personae
Jung named the identity we wear in order to move about in life and usually relate to one another “persona.” It’s a kind of mask that can hide or give a clue to who’s the real person beneath.

Religion
In the Autonomy of the Unconscious essay, Jung states that: "...the term 'religion' designates the attitude peculiar to a consciousness which has been changed by experience of the numinosum." What were Jung's thoughts on religion, the religious instinct, and the religious attitude? It will be fun to ponder these as the Winter Solstice approaches.

Raising the Bones
We'll take a look at two resurrection stories older than the New Testament story of Jesus. One from the ancient Hebrews—Ezekiel in the Valley of Dry Bones—and one from the Pueblo people of the Southwest desert—La Loba. They explore the idea of resurrection through the archetype of the Wild Woman and the Warrior.

Myth
Using Madeline Miller’s retelling of Circe, we will look at women’s rage and how it can emerge as destructive and unhelpful. Rather than always seeing rage and anger as negative emotions to be tamped down and denied, can we begin to see the energy and power contained within the rage?
