The feminine principle in ancient times was projected into the form of a goddess and worshiped. Now it is sensed as a psychological force arising from the unconscious. Gretchen Watts, LCSW, will present a talk with images and symbols from artwork, sand trays, and dreams from women manifesting feminine growth and development. Jung understood that we still live in the peril of the one-sided patriarchal development of the male intellectual consciousness which is no longer kept in balance by the matriarchal world of the psyche as it once was during ancient times. There must be a synthesis that includes the feminine world. Only then will the individual human being be able to develop a psychic wholeness.
After this talk, we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Nashville Jung Circle, with a short presentation and refreshments.
