1. Reading group on Answer to Job
Steve will be resuming his series on Jung & the Spiritual Journey in September. It will include a monthly reading group that will consider Jung's Answer to Job. He also may add a course or discussion group in the winter or spring quarters.
You can register for the Job group through the Jung Institute (see address below) or directly by emailing Steve at individuate@att.net -- where you also can subscribe to his e-newsletter.
2. The Red Book as spiritual document
On October 15, he and his colleague George Didier will offer an afternoon seminar on "The Red Book as Spiritual Document: Jung's Interior Castle."
This seminar is part of a series on The Red Book of C.G. Jung that is being offered by the Jung Institute in conjunction with Loyola University. Registration is available through the Institute's web site -- www.jungchicago.org.
Steve will present a shorter version of this presentation at the annual Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago in November. Watch this space for details. (The diocesan web site is: www.episcopalchicago.org)
The inner journey
The images of growth and transformation, healing and inner exploration are varied -- a sweat lodge, a mountain, an alchemical vessel, a baptismal font.
These are places where some have experienced themselves moving from one state of being to another. Today, many of the religious rituals which facilitated inner change no longer compel.
Meanwhile, the depth psychology pioneered by Jung and Freud has given way to a "clinical" psychology that is pathology- oriented, "solution-focused," and insurance-"managed."
Transformation has become elusive in our time. Some still seek -- and sometimes find --it through institutional religion. Others pursue deep change in different ways, including Jungian analysis, spiritual direction, and other paths.
As an Episcopal priest and Jungian analyst, Steve is experienced in both traditional and contemporary (yet often ancient) inner paths.
If you are on an inward or healing journey, and seek assistance, he invites you to contact him at individuate@att.net or 630.476.6425.
