Fifty years ago, Stephen Aizenstat began a community experiment in depth psychological scholarship set along the Pacific coastline. With the peace that Pacific refers to in mind, he set out to offer a new place for the story of Jung’s psychology to grow and thrive. In those decades, Pacifica Graduate Institute hosted the luminaries of our tradition including Joseph Campbell, James Hillman, Marion Woodman and numerous others. Today OPUS hosts their archives, allowing new scholars to find inspiration in their work. Perhaps most importantly, Pacifica’s campuses have been a temenos – a place where people made contact with something greater than themselves. The tens of thousands of hours of personal and interpersonal processing, discovery and soul work and dream work done on the land there have made it not only an educational institution but a church for meaning.
We consider our JUNG Archademy an outgrowth the community that Steve began and are very proud to be hosting him to honour what he has given to us.
We look forward to reflecting with Dr. Aizenstat on the tremendous history of Pacifica, its BELOVED luminaries and his hope for its bright future ahead.
Come join us for this free live-video event.
