How black and white are our attitudes and judgements: this is good, this is bad; its a male dominated world.  But life is more complex.  The Hindu God Shiva reflects this - both destructive and creative, half woman half man, meditative and daemonic.  Tomorrow, Saturday 18th March, there is a workshop at the C G Jung Club London where Shiva will be vividly experienced. 

Meditation
Tomorrow, Thursday 16 March at 7.30pm, Martin Liebscher will talk to the C G Jung Club London about meditation and the role it can play in enabling us to find our true nature - what Jungians call the journey of individuation.  In this fast running world the need to create the space to let in the Jungian collective unconscious, the religious God, is more needed than ever.  All religions pray or meditate, but we don't have to be part of a religion to be in communication with this vital 'other' in our daily life.  It impinges on us anyway, how much better to relate to it. www.fisu.org.meditation/centres www.londonmeditationcentre.com www.kmclondon.org www.lbc.org.uk www.shambala.org.uk www.kmlondon.org www.willwilliamsmeditstion.co.uk www.sahajayogalondon.co.uk/meditation

Club Fellowhip

The speaker for the talk tomorrow evening (Thursday 19 January) has had to cancel.  Luckily - the gods are with us - Jim Fitzgerald has very kindly stepped into the breach and will give a talk on the Grimm fairy tale Hans the Hedgehog.  He is a well known and popular speaker in Jungian circles and embodies the fellowship of the Club in doing this. 

Unblocking the resistance to dealing with the climate crisis

This Thursday, 19th January, Sarah Halford will give a talk to the C G Jung Club London entitled 'Psyche's Seasons: Jungian Psychology and Climate Crisis'.  The evidence is becoming more and more clear that we are in a crisis situation ecologically, yet, for some reason, the motivation is not there en masse to do enough about it.  I would suggest this is to do with our 'dislocated psyches', with so many being out of touch with true nature, both their own personal one and with nature in the world.  In Jungian psychology, everything is connected with everything, so the two aspects go together.  Sarah tackles this by offering useful new perspectives informed by the bridges Jungian psychology and Celtic myths can offer toward a renewed orientation to the planet and to the suffering embedded on each dislocate psyche.
