Third of Four Fridays in preparation and response to Dr. Corbett’s lecture Sept 11th

Have you ever experienced the unexplainable like hearing a voice that sets you on an unexpected path or a vision that stuns you into a reverie and the awareness of a wider existence? These phenomena are more common than many believe, writes depth psychologist Dr. Lionel Corbett in his book, The Sacred Cauldron, Psychotherapy as A Spiritual Practice. His writing, for psychotherapists and non-psychotherapists alike, weaves together Carl Jung’s idea of the numinous as manifestations of the Divine, a power in the soul, that directs the evolution of spirituality and expresses itself in imagery. Dr. Corbett will be speaking to Boulder Friends of Jung on Sept 11th via Zoom to discuss the many ways the numinous appears in everyday life, Jung’s work on the Self, and the emerging God-image. In preparation for his lecture, BFJ is offering a book study following the writings of The Sacred Cauldron. There will be a follow-up on Friday, Sept 18th after Dr. Corbett’s lecture. We’ll discuss these personal, life-altering experiences that occur inside and outside the therapy room, often when our souls are suffering.

Book study and lecture are free to current members of Boulder Friends of Jung. For non-members, may we suggest a $25 donation for the book study; $15 for the Friday night lecture Or join BFJ for $50. Book study, lectures are free; workshops discounted. To register, email RickTaylorMath@gmail.com. Join the Zoom meeting.

Dr. Lionel Corbett is a psychiatrist, Jungian analyst and a professor of depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. His many books reflect the religious function of the psyche, the way personal religious experience is relevant to individual psychology and the interface of Jungian psychology and psychoanalytic thought.
