Working with the Wisdom of the Archetypes: The ARAS Collection
SEE EVENT DETAILS
This event will include an introduction to the rich Jungian tradition of exploring symbolic images that stir the imagination and touch the deep archetypal roots that unite us as human beings—both in our personal journeys and in our experience of the inner and outer world of the collective psyche. We will begin with an orientation to ARAS (The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism) that places its rich heritage in a historical context beginning with its origin in the Eranos Lectures in 1930’s where images were collected from many cultures to amplify archetypal themes. Just as images reveal deeper layers of the psyche though a more ancient form of communication, they also contain the potential for transformation for modern seekers through opening the doors to encountering and integrating archetypal energies. There is a world-wide hunger for the meaningful connection to symbolic images that enrich and deepen life. We will address the question of “Why ARAS?” with images and discussion of personal and collective material.
