Modern Man and Woman Still in Search of Soul

“There are hardly any exceptions to the rule that a person must pay dearly
​ for the divine gift of the creative fire.”

C.G. Jung, Modern Man in Search of Soul, p.169

It was in 1933 that C.G. Jung wrote his great work titled Modern Man in Search of Soul. Now in 2022 – almost 100 years since its publication – we not only continue to hunger for a connection to soul, but personally and collectively we desperately need to start listening to its wisdom.

In the first half of life we live with an intimation, perhaps a whispered presence of the destiny accompanying our life. However, the work of living as a younger person – busy in securing an education, a career, a family or more – demands virtually all of our energy, leaving very little time to attend to the soul.

Then, as if time suddenly stood still for a moment, we look at our past with the eyes of one who has aged. No longer young nor ascending to yet another ambition, we reflect back on our life as if all those events happened yesterday. When did our children become parents? And when and how did we start looking so much older? Yet, simultaneously realizing that this is the way it needs to be.

Jung’s message about finding Soul – finding the sacred – resounds in our hearts and our soul and this is made clear when he says that virtually everyone needs to find a “religious outlook on life.”

Suddenly everything about life is different as we age. And this need, coming from some other deeper domain, calls for us to live a more symbolic and sacred life that honors our soul’s calling. Ever so clearly we now see the enormous costs involved in continuing to live out those unresolved mid-life complexes.

Now is the time to stand face to face with our destiny. To step forward with courage to change the contours of our life and to live in greater relationship with what is most sacred in our heart and our soul.

What You can Expect From Attending the Conference

Drawing together an internationally acclaimed faculty, you will learn to recognize the shape and form of Psyche as it speaks to us of the soul waiting for our embrace. So too we will discuss the courage needed to allow many past pre-occupations and desires to fade into the realm of memory, as we consciously take on the challenge of this new way of life.

The ultimate purpose of this conference is to offer insights from some of the Jungian world’s most respected minds, and give you a framework of how to listen to and live in accord with the needs of your soul, whatever this may entail.
