Changing of the Gods: Weathering the Storm in an Archetypal Cosmos
October 18, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm PDT
$20.00In their distinct and brilliant ways, both C. G. Jung and James Hillman broke free of limiting modern assumptions and recognized that psyche was not confined to the human, that it permeated all of nature, the cosmos itself. Both also recognized the extraordinary value of astrology in shining an unexpected light on the archetypal dynamics of human life in synchronistic correlation with planetary movements. Our moment in history clearly represents a threshold of of great consequence, and the current planetary alignments can provide us with valuable insights about the deeper impulses at work in the drama now facing the Earth community. What is the planetary situation now, what are the historical precedents, and how might our contemporary culture be transformed by the recognition that an intimate bond exists between the deep psyche and the cosmos? Join Richard Tarnas for a “state of the world report” on the archetypal context of our national and global moment.
