The Wisdom of Andean Shamanism with Deborah Bryon

Time and Trauma in Analytical Psychology and Psychotherapy: The Wisdom of Andean Shamanism 

This presentation will weave together interpersonal and Jungian analytic perspectives, informed by indigenous Andean shamanism, and contemporary scientific understanding of time in an exploration of a more expansive, vision of the world.  It will provide different perspectives on experiences central to contemporary depth psychology – i.e., the subjective experience of time and trauma. The presenter will draw on her experience as a psychologist and Jungian psychoanalyst as well as her immersion in Andean shamanistic practice.

“Dr. Bryon’s bold weaving together of interpersonal and Jungian analytic perspectives, informed by indigenous Andean shamanism, and contemporary scientific understanding of time invites the reader into an expansive, enriched vision of the world.  Her personal descent to deep layers of unconscious phenomena is shown to bring an enhanced awareness of reality with profound healing effects.  The wisdom and integrative power of a syncretic approach to recovering from trauma shines through the text and will open doors for all who enter.”
