Member Appreciation Lecture: Jung and the Healing Power of Symbols

Friday, Jun. 19, 2015

07:00 PM – 08:30 PM
US/Central

PSYCHOLOGY-AND-LIFE-240X240
Guests are invited to a special lecture and workshop with author and scholar Susan Rowland, as she examines C.G. Jung’s singular understanding of the symbol.

The group will examine what Jung actually offers by way of the symbol, art and therapy. Then the group will look forward into new Jungian research areas that suggest an expanded and exciting role for the Jungian symbol and its capacity to transform.

During Saturday’s workshop, the group will take Jung’s embodied symbol into new research into complexity theory and emergence. The group will look to expand being in encountering Jungian symbols – together!
