Your Personal Myth
December 4, 1993 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PST
When Jung went through his personal crisis, he asked himself, “What is my personal myth?” When he could not answer his own question, he began his descent into the unconscious and the subsequent dialogue with the Self which we now call individuation, Jung’s myth for our time. In this workshop we will explore a number of questions which will help identify the conscious and unconscious values by which we are living. We will endeavor to explore patterns in our lives, especially those which derive from our families of origin. Please bring paper and pen, for we will be doing a lot of personal reflection and writing in response to the questions posed.
