That thing could be God or the Goddess, Nature, a Higher Power, or other glorious Beings on this earth and beyond. I also appreciate Bren\u00e9 Brown\u2019s definition of spirituality:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: Georgia;\">Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Georgia;\">If Pierre Teilhard de Chardin is right when he observed that \u201cwe are not human beings having a spiritual experience\u201d but rather \u201cwe are spiritual beings having a human experience,\u201d then it would benefit us to spend some time contemplating our spiritual journey, which is to contemplate our spiritual being. I believe that such contemplation, where we look at our personal journeys through an archetypal lens, can help us understand where we have been and inspire us going forward toward more of Brown\u2019s perspective, meaning, and purpose. Certainly, this sort of contemplation is what Jung did in <em>Memories, Dreams, Reflections,<\/em> which will be our core text for this program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Georgia;\">I\u2019ll begin our time together by guiding you in an exploration of your sacred journeys through a mapping process, creating a unique memory-montage that will be mined throughout the month for what it reveals about the archetypal dimensions of your journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Georgia;\">Next, you\u2019ll learn about and identify your own spiritual archetypes and spiritual temperament types, those sacred threads woven into and through your spiritual life. I\u2019ll end by introducing you to archetypal metaphors of the spiritual journey, helping you discern the patterns of your own path. Reflective writing prompts will deepen the exploration, because, as Deborah Levine Herman notes, \u201cThe process of spiritual writing is an end in itself. While you are sharing your insight and wisdom with others through the act of writing, your wisdom increases many times over, almost as though you are being taught by your own hand.\u201d To this end, small group sharing will give you the opportunity to read your writing and\/or share what you\u2019ve been taught by your own hand. Together, we\u2019ll appreciate the archetypal dimensions of our sacred human experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Georgia;\">Note: Participants are encouraged to read Jung\u2019s <em>MDR<\/em> before class begins or refamiliarize themselves with it if it\u2019s been a while since you read it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I primarily define spirituality as that feeling of being connected to something beyond our small selves and beyond the mundane plane in which we typically live our lives.
