Discover how cultivating our powers of empathy and vulnerability helps to facilitate connections to both ourselves and others, and that helping people is always an opening-up of our own depths that may leave us forever changed.
When we want to “show up” for someone, and for the communities in which we live, it is important to examine the ways we appear to others – what C.G. Jung termed the persona – as well as the particular ways we approach the world – our psychological type. Understanding the social roles we play for others (and how these roles might conflict with our “true” selves), and learning to reflect on and talk about our worldviews, can be extremely powerful tools in avoiding burnout and bridging the differences that often hinder our abilities to connect, work together, and help.
Join us as we explore Jung’s belief that our personal path to wholeness has an important and often-overlooked social implication: a treasure we are supposed to bring back to the collective, and enact by living it into the world around us.
