‘The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul’ Book Study

As we age, we are faced with yet another of life’s demands for adaptation. Jung thought that with each new point of balance and satisfaction in our lives, there will follow an imperative for further evolution and change. The evolution required in the last quarter of life is not well-imagined by our culture, and it is hard for many to shift their experience of themselves from a career or vocation identity to something more. Working through our fears, defenses, and inhibitions means exploring both our personal shadow and the cultural shadow so that we can offer a welcoming hand to new ideas, new attitudes and new depths. This book study group will use the text as a starting point for personal examination and group process.
