Jung<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
Stories of being lost and the need to find our way home remains one of humanities most important personal and archetypal needs. References to home, is a universal motif in fairy takes and fables which speaks to this need as a profound inner necessity.\u00a0 In these stories, we often hear how one loses their way in the woods, and must learn to listen to the enchanted creatures of the forest who show us the way home.\u00a0 So too, we search for that home within which to raise our family, and the hopes that one day we will hear our child saying those soul soothing words, \u201dthis is my home”!!!! words that will surely melt our heart. And later in life, we seek a very different sort of home, perhaps smaller, and one closer to our children and grandchildren and where we begin living with the reality that this may just be our final resting place.\u00a0 Going home has many shapes and forms. One that I will never forget, are my mother\u2019s last words before dying, crying out, \u201cMomma I am coming home\u201d.\u00a0 From our youth to the end of life, we hold to the sacredness of home.<\/p>\n

While a sense of being home within one\u2019s self, within a marriage, a career, is absolutely vital, at some point we have all felt the terrible sense of being lost, disoriented and adrift. At such times all we long for is the safety of being home, and when in the grips of such a possession and trauma,\u00a0 we will take the next flight or train, or whatever it takes to go home.<\/p>\n

Home is a symbolic expression of that place where we are most alive, safe and able to live in relationship to soul.\u00a0 However, this journey also involves leaving home.\u00a0 Exile from Paradise, to the terror of ongoing deportations, we are painfully aware of this archetypal need to leave the familiar in search of that domain where soul resides.\u00a0 Perhaps this is why for the sailor lost at sea, is comforted just knowing that the light house continuously illuminates the dark night with its beacon carrying both a sense of direction and the sailor\u2019s hope of returning home.\u00a0 Grace remains as an ever present reality, reminding us that the soul never tires of wanting us to go home.<\/p>\n

But psyche speaks the language of the Antique Soul, of eternity.\u00a0 To understand her guiding messages, we need to learn this language and the innate meaning of our dreams, fantasies, and even projections of love onto another, as the soul\u2019s way of helping us find our way back home. This conference brings together a truly illustrative faculty of Jungian Analysts, theologians and scholars each of whom have dedicated their life to learning this language, and have cultivated the attitude needed to receive what may be one of the greatest blessings of our life.\u00a0 \u00a0Please join us for this week in Assisi, Italy one of the most beautiful and sacred places in the world.\u00a0 And sitting around the Italian dinner table with all of us together is a delicious and beautiful coming home!\u200b<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
