The Seattle Jung Society is pleased to announce that Chris Bache, Ph.D., author and teacher on non-ordinary states of consciousness, will be speaking to the Society. Dr. Bache is an award-winning teacher and international speaker, as well as the author of four books. Drawing upon his training as a philosopher of religion, Dr. Bache explored his own mind and the mind of the universe during 73 high-dose LSD sessions over a period of twenty years. His journey is recounted in several of his books, most recently LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds From Heaven (2019).
Dr. Bache will be speaking about how Jung served as both companion and guide as he entered the ocean of consciousness during his psychedelic sessions. Jung’s conceptual system was helpful in understanding his experiences in some ways, but fell short in others. But Jung’s personal courage as an explorer of consciousness made him an enduring companion for the entire journey. Join us as Dr. Bache recounts his relationship to Jung and Jungian ideas on his sojourn into the outer reaches of inner space.
