The Journey With the Soul

September 18, 1993 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PDT

workshop:

Journey is one way of talking about and symbolizing the process of individuation, just as one can also speak of the substance of individuation as a consistent, personal identity. Both are as valid as microphysics’ viewing of an atom as both a wave and a particle. The journey is with the Soul, not of the Soul, since it is a “conscious” process, that “knowing with” journey, in which the other is not first of all our social partners but the unconscious itself. For our purposes here, Soul is a better term than Self or Psyche because in our Judeo-Christian tradition it refers to the life principle, a principle that includes body as well as society.

The Journey will consist of the following paths: Climbing the Mountain: the Value of Work; Falling into Darkness: the Value of Love; Spring of Creation: the Value of Play; and Fruition of Compassion and Justice: the Value of Prayer. The overarching stages of the Journey will be Jung’s Two Stages of Life.

The Journey is based on client dreams and many archetypal models. Bring your own dreams to help construct this odyssey that is both personal and collective.
