Jeannet Weurman – What Will the Future Bring? Reflections on CG Jung’s 150th Anniversary
Is there something that ‘wants to step over into visible life, to take concrete shape’ (Jung, Letters, I, 10 January 1929, 59), and can we find ways to co-create with this, to consciously shape our future?
In this year of Carl Jung’s 150th birthday, Jeannet will explore how Jung’s thinking on individuation might combine with more systemic thinking (Cynthia Bourgeault, Ervin Laszlo) to guide us through the huge challenges humanity is facing. In the light of Jung’s admonition that we need to know ourselves better, she will ask, with reference to her own experiences in non-ordinary states, whether such theories help us make sense of what we encounter as we journey into psyche, and whether there are dangers in stirring these deep archetypal waters. Using her interest in psychedelics, kundalini, and trauma as an entry-point, Jeannet asks whether kundalini-like phenomena might be an embodied experience of the numinous, mirroring our mental experiences of it. She will consider Jung’s notion of daimons and the way these might shield us from the full force of the numinous. Might daimons resonate and mesh with personal complexes to form channels for archetypal energy to manifest in a process of conscious or unconscious co-creation. Jeannet will ask whether these processes also occur in humanity as a whole, as its collective traumas form complexes in the wider field to resonate with similar daimonic forces, for good or ill. The dominant Western paradigm has become dangerously unbalanced, having lost its respect for the feminine and feminine ways of knowing. Might the huge, collective challenges we now face and the apparent increase in kundalini-like phenomena reflect an eruption of such forces on a collective level and offer an opportunity for increased awareness, integration, and re-balancing of our understanding of reality and our place within it. In essence, Jeannet will ask with Jung whether there is something that ‘wants to step over […] into visible life, to take concrete shape’, and whether we can find ways to co-create with this to consciously shape our future?
This webinar by Jeannet will be followed by live Q&A.
