We are born mystics
emerging from the pregnant
numinous darkness
into the light of day
Assigned to be and become a light
of consciousness and compassion
our primary vocation
The rent for being alive.
—Jerry R. Wright, A Mystical Path Less Traveled

Drawing on the Analytical Psychology of C. G. Jung and on various mystical traditions, Dr. Wright will propose a Psychological Mysticism that preceded and now replaces the historical Theological Mysticism that has been dependent on theistic images of God. Such images are no longer meaningful for many people-or necessary.

He will explore an alternative spiritual path that has the character of a grounded, embodied mysticism that honors the universal experiences of the numinous. Psychological Mysticism could be a relevant and meaningful path for persons of all religious orientations, as well as for those who do not embrace a religion. Such a perspective could contribute to the healing of the deep divisions that tear at our cultural and political fabric, and which threaten our species and global nest. The evening presentation and morning workshop will allow for conversation and suggestions for participation.

Objectives
Participants will be able to:

Describe what is meant by mysticism from a depth psychological perspective.
Compare and contrast psychological mysticism and theological mysticism and the clinical implications and applications for each.
Describe what is meant by a grounded, embodied mysticism and its relevance for climate change and the care of the environment.
