The Personal Myth in Turbulent Times

The Jung Center presents The Personal Myth in Turbulent Times.

In 1913 Jung asked himself this question: “What is my myth?,” and realized that he could not answer.

Can we? First we have to understand what is meant by myth, and then what the question itself means. Why we have to even ask this question is still another question. What is the cultural context in which we raise these questions, and how do our personal journeys intersect with the climate of our time are still other questions.

This presentation will raise these questions, offer putative approaches, and challenge the participant to a more thoughtful engagement.
