The Myth Salon with Dr. Connie Zweig
Against the backdrop of the current coronavirus pandemic, I am particularly excited to announce the upcoming Zoom Web Myth Salon with Dr. Connie Zweig on Thursday May 14 at 5PM PST. She reminds us that, “within each of us, the dim cavern of the unconscious holds our forbidden feelings, secret wishes, destructive impulses, and creative urges. Over time, these forces take on a life of their own, forming an intuitively recognizable figure, which Carl Jung called the personal Shadow. A recurring theme in myth and literature, the shadow is like an invisible twin, a stranger that is us, yet not us — Mephistopheles, Mr. Hyde, Darth Vader, Satan.” In this Myth Salon, we will explore: the Shadow as an archetype within the psyche, how one’s Shadow forms as part of the human psyche; what happens when we deny the Shadow; what happens when the Shadow acts out; and how we cab form a more conscious relationship to our shadows, or “romance” them, as Dr. Zweig puts it. Finally, we’ll uncover the “gold in the dark side” in each of us.
