In Ananke’s Lap: Necessity and Grace

In this archetypal psychological exploration of the goddesses Ananke, the Fates, and the Graces, we will consider how grace and receptivity to the archetypal necessity at work in the deep patterns of the psyche contributes to the discovery of meaning, which ultimately reveals the way our lives are lived in the lap of the gods.

Zoom participants will gain understanding of the significance of archetypal necessity in the thought of both C. G. Jung and James Hillman, will locate and reflect upon how archetypal necessity appears in personal experience, and will gain knowledge of the role of myth in patterns of behavior.
