As darkness descended upon Europe, C.G.

Over four sessions, we\u2019ll take a deep dive into this invaluable text. We\u2019ll explore the centrality of religious experience in Jung\u2019s understanding of the psyche and discuss what Jung means by \u201cthe numinous\u201d (numinosum). We\u2019ll discuss Jung\u2019s critique and affirmation of religious communities (specifically Catholic and Protestant), and we\u2019ll give special attention to his warning against the dangers of religiously rooted authoritarianism and extremism. Although there are undoubtedly toxic expressions of religion, a healthy religious experience can support, enhance, and guide the individuation process.<\/p>\n
