Experiencing the Mother: Her Light/Her Darkness
May 10, 1986 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PDT
This time will be spent in a more free flowing interchange between Dr. Wagner and participants. Dr. Wagner will present material to further amplify the nature of the archetypal mother in her light and dark nature as she manifests in the lives of modern individuals. Time for questions, discussion, and comments from others will be taken. Individuals are invited to bring brief versions of dreams, personal anecdotes, poems, comments, and questions to share with the group.
To close the session on Saturday, Dr. Wagner will invite participants in meditative exercises aimed at deepening awareness of the suffering and grief, as well as the joy and compassionate love inherent in the nature of the mother.
The purpose of Saturday’s work will be to deepen our awareness and strengthen our ability to connect to the deeper unconscious in a living, ongoing way. This brings us to wholeness in our own individual natures and it also helps us to meet the critical challenge to the survival of all live on planet earth which we now face.
