Description

During a personal or collective crisis, our ego consciousness is overwhelmed and retreats into the healing depths of the personal and collective unconscious with a petition for guidance to negotiate the crisis and trauma. In the unconscious, the Self archetype is activated to respond to this petition. Self consults the archetypes to construct a new paradigm to guide our consciousness. This new paradigm now emerges into our consciousness as a new image as a Mandala. This new image is experienced as meaningful, affectively charged and numinous and becomes a GPS to guide us on; not only to deal with the crisis or trauma but to reset our path towards our teleos and new beginning. The presenters will explore the healing power of the image and amplify a series of images that Synchronistically emerged in collaboration between the presenters in response to the COVID pandemic, racial justice movement and global upheaval. Participants are encouraged to bring an image that has been meaningful to them during this crisis. Participants will be invited to construct their own mandala using some of these insights.

PowerPoint: Slides are included in the video.

Audio: An audio mp3 of the recording is included for your convenience.
