The Appeal of the Extraordinary
October 19, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PDT
Jung’s approach to psychology provides techniques to keep individuals in touch with their inner lives, as well as methods for interpreting the non-rational, archetypal elements of the unconscious. The workshop explores these techniques and insights that we need now in order to detect and respect the non-rational elements within life that inspire, intimidate, confuse, and ultimately compel us to confront and better understand the intimations of the archaic basis of the mind. We delve into otherworldly beliefs as a way to better understand the origins of archetypal thought patterns, and consider how these beliefs continue to inspire us through our dreams and extraordinary experiences.
