Jung used the metaphor of shadow to capture our inevitable inability to see ourselves clearly and completely. We cannot stand upright in the light without some essential part of us falling into darkness. Often, what is hidden is what we do not want to admit about ourselves: our jealousy, anger, pettiness, aggressiveness, desire, acquisitiveness. But much that is necessary falls into shadow and needs to be claimed so we can live more whole, purposeful lives.
The group will use lecture, discussion, media, and personal exercises to examine Jung’s theory of shadow and how we can use it to explore and integrate our own darkness.
