The Jung Center

Holy Mole! Cooking, Alchemy, and Individuation: LECTURE

Friday, Dec. 1, 2017 – Friday, Dec. 1, 2017

07:00 PM – 08:30 PM
US/Central

Explore the individuation process as expressed in the metaphors of cooking, food, and feasting with Jungian analyst and French-trained chef Susan Negley. Friday evening, Susan will discuss how mastery in the culinary arts, much like Jung’s study of alchemy, enhanced her understanding of psychological development and spiritual transformation. On Saturday, Susan will use lecture, discussion, and experiential exercises to delve further into the symbolic significance of cooking and eating with the hope that the use of these plainspoken metaphors will add spice and sustenance to the oftentimes esoteric topic of alchemy.
