Meeting Tues April 28 then moving to Mondays thru 6/15.
In this course we will be discussing the psyche and how to interpret it’s symbolic language. Myths and metaphors, like dreams, have a unique way of saying what cannot be said. This course will help you understand what is often mistranslated, individually and collectively as humans. We will read Myths to Live By by Joseph Campbell and Suicide and the Soul by James Hillman. We will delve into Jungian psychology and also touch upon eastern philosophical themes. Participants need to have some background in basic psychology or philosophy. Each week there will be moderate reading assignments, lecture, and focused class discussion. Writing assignments are optional, such as journaling, poetry, or short stories.
