Missing the Mark: The Seven Deadly Sins Viewed Through the Lens of Depth Psychology
March 19, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:45 pm PDT
The word “sin” came originally from an archery term that meant “missing the target,” and implied such errant aim arose more from inescapable human limitation than malevolence. This program will explore these most human of experiences—pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, sloth—through the lens of analytic psychology, and explore their causes, mechanisms, self-defeating consequences, and their continuing, contemporary challenges to us.
