In this presentation we will be exploring the colonial shadow and the settler psychology that has shaped what is now known as North America.
This psychology has perpetrated devastating harm over the last half a millennium and continues to oppress Indigenous people and degrade the environment. Today, it lives on in many of us. In this evening of discussion we will be using the tenet of depth psychology that stories and myths from one’s own ancestry can bring about transformation and deep changes in perspective. As such, we will investigate how an alchemical way of imagining into white settler colonial consciousness might contribute to its accountability and psychological healing today.
