The earth has a soul: The nature writings of C. G. Jung

This presentation features a lesser-known side of Jung - practical, down-to-earth, and deeply concerned over the loss of connection with Nature. Jung emphasizes that Nature includes spirit as well as matter. Efforts to conquer Nature have left matter without its nature spirits and humans without a natural spiritual life. A pioneer in exploring the psyche's evolution, Jung discovered its primordial foundation, which he named 'natural man.' Interwoven with dreams and stories from Jung's travels and his life at Bollingen, this program showcases his challenging observations and prophetic predictions about technology and modern life. Following the tradition of the Taoist rainmaker whom he admired, Jung speaks as a culture shaman who shares our malaise and knows that restoring our own living connection with Nature contributes to healing the whole.
