About the Event
“We Think with our Hearts”: Reading Jung through Native Eyes with Jeanne Lacourt
About the Speaker
Jeanne Lacourt, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C., Ph.D., is a Jungian Analyst with a private practice and a Professor of American Indian Studies at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. She is most intrigued with the theme of human-animal transformation in Indigenous origin stories. Her home community is with the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. Jeanne has co-presented with the late Jerome Bernstein on topics of reciprocity, Jung and Indigenous Native Spiritualities, and continues to focus on bridging and integrating Indigenous and Jungian Studies. She presents nationwide and has published articles in Spring and Native journals, authored a book on Indigenous education, and a chapter, “Seeing the Forest for the Trees: Birthing Symbolic Life,” in the book Jungian Perspectives on Rebirth and Renewal (2016) published by Routledge.
Details about the Event
“Knowledge does not enrich us; it removes us more and more from the mythic world in which we were once at home by right of birth” ~ Jung, 1973, p. 252
In his travels around the world, Jung often wrote about his encounters with Native cultures. Jungian Scholar Jeanne Lacourt will review how some of Jung’s ideas have (mis)represented Native cultures. Two psychic paradigms - dominion and reciprocity - will point to important differences between Indigenous and Western cosmologies and may offer a path away from our current trend toward self-destruction.
