ABOUT THE LECTURE
We are currently living in difficult times. Many are struggling to make sense of disorienting experiences. These conflicts (both inner and outer, individual and collective) can be seen as the focus of Jung’s final work entitled, “Mysterium Coniunctionis” (CW 14), which Edinger called “an anatomy book for the psyche.” Jungian Analyst Joel Kroeker shares how Jung drew on the richly symbolic world of Alchemy as the “great collective dream of our ancestors” to offer a path through the clashing opposites of longing, fear, desire, loss, isolation and forced adaptation.
Please join us for this timely exploration, as we dare to ask: How can even these difficult times contribute to the necessary confrontation with the greater personality and its drive toward actualized wholeness?
“If only a world-wide consciousness could arise that (sees) all division…(is) due to the splitting of opposites in the psyche, then we should know where to begin.” (Jung, CW 10)
