Straying from the Path: An Exploration of the Intersections between Queer Theory and Analytical Psychology
December 6 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PST
Those who cannot perform normative cultural narratives often find their voices silenced. Queer Theory offers us a new framework for working with old material. To queer an experience is to resist defining it. Queerness may provide a place to stand within oneself while also standing in the energy of an Exile complex that can be embraced as a new path towards individuation. We will explore the connections to be made between Queer Theory and Jungian concepts of Individuation, Complex Theory, Weltanschauung, and Active Imagination.
