Details about the Event

Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone returns to the Comox Valley CG Jung Society for this experiential evening. She will take us on a scholarly and meditative journey into ancestral realms. In her engaging storytelling way, she will be weaving perspectives of the mystical foundations of both Jungian psychology and the Kabbalah to help us see beyond time and heal ancestral legacies within us and the world.

We are living in heartbreaking times. We sense the spell of past generations and their unresolved conflicts in the tragedies unfolding before our eyes. How can we break the cycles of intergenerational trauma and expand our hearts and minds to dis-spell the effects of past wounds upon us and our world?

In this online experiential evening, Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone will draw from the ancient wisdom tradition of the Jewish Mystical Tradition known as the Kabbalah to address the influences of the past on ourselves, our families, and world events. Dr. Jung himself extolled the Kabbalah as illuminative of his psychological perspective. We will see how the extraordinary mythical perspectives of both  Jungian psychology and the Kabbalah can attune us to the multiple interpenetrating dimensions of the psyche, helping us to see beyond time and understand and heal the ancestral legacies alive within us and the world.

Our journey will be both scholarly and experiential, including a guided journey (active imagination) into the Ancestral Realm, as well as select teachings from the ancient Book of Formation (2nd century), the Book of Splendor (13th century), and Lurianic Kabbalah (16th century) as templates for the work we all must do: repairing our souls (Tikkun haNephesh) and repairing the world (Tikkun Olam.)  “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”   ― C.G. Jung
