Whispers of Hope: An intimation of so much more
The decisive question for man (and woman) is: Is he really related to something infinite or not?
— C. G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections
Jung posits this question in Memories, Dreams, Reflections, and goes on to say that if we could only know that what truly matters is the infinite, then life would be so different. This is the eternal, the constant thread of existence, which human lives weave in and out of since the beginning of time.
Dealing with the manifest, temporal world which Jung referred to as the Spirit of the Times is a morass of desires commanding a need for power, control, and all too often a pre-occupation with banal concerns. Here we survive, estranged from the ways of the Self, hiding in the irrational world of hope and belief in false and tragic heroes and ideals.
How can we heal our wearied egos and rebuild the connection to soul? It is our responsibility to this world, to our loved ones, to the next generation, to build bridges to the numinous. In the 1965 pop song What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love, the lyrics are even more relevant in today’s world with such ongoing proliferations of violence, discord and more. Eros, relationship, and a passion for deeper meaning, is our only path towards healing, and we desperately need the experience of grace and transcendence to guide our path.
In these talks we will share in the riches of two of the world leaders in the fields of Spirituality and Jungian Analysis, whose lives are dedicated to the search and experience for that eternal Eros of soul and spirit. In doing so we will hear stories of lives searching these winding and often tortuous paths, and of those moments of finding grace.
While the event will be held in Assisi, Italy, we are offering this as a Virtual presentation for participants worldwide. We are hoping you will join us as we journey along with Drs. Heschel and Hollis, and share in the great repast of what they bring to the table.
One of the most important events in our 36-year history
