\n

In these turbulent times we are flooded with information and opinion about our political condition. Editorials, blogs, and professional pundits reflect our desperate need to know, not just what is going on, but what it means. While understandable, this could also be a defense against the truly psychological examination of our disruptions. We\u2014Barry Williams, Marilyn Mathews, and Larry Rayburn\u2014will offer an exploration of the archetypal contours below the surface as we mark the one-year anniversary of the presidential election.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Given the speed with which events are currently erupting, it is impossible to know what elements will be in the foreground this coming November. However, with what Jung called \u201ccareful consideration,\u201d we will attend to the archetypal images and motifs that have emerged and are emergent in the moment. Certainly, grief, sacrifice and the raw dimensions of archetypal reality will, by definition, be pertinent, even if \u201cthese times\u201d defy attempts at sense-making. To this task we hope to bring an analytic attitude\u2014noting what is present in the field of our collective chaos, looking for the small voices that may be stirring, those that might bring some sanity or meaning. We are more interested in asking how more than why. How do we understand our moment, and how do we enter into dialogue about such volatile topics, while acknowledging the trauma, grief, and despair that seem to be our constant companions in these times.<\/p>\n

As we reflect on past political panels, there always seems to be much left unsaid and unaddressed in the wake of these Friday evening programs. This year, in response, we will also host\u00a0a discussion the following Saturday morning<\/a>\u00a0from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for those of you who would like to join us to explore the issues raised on Friday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
