In this seminar, we’ll explore various takes on the Feminine and the Anima within Jungian psychology, and within psychologically-oriented feminist literature. We’ll seek to define these ideas as they relate to men and women, and to life within Patriarchy, as opposed to within Nature.
Purchase of books is not required as selections will be emailed in advance to all participants. Authors of selections will include mythologist Christine Downing; feminist poet and essayist Audre Lorde; the pioneering essays of Erich Neumann; Jung, and many more.
Some film and podcast selections may be incorporated as optional outside resources, or for group gatherings.
“It is time now to go in search of HER”
“The different nature of the female and feminine psyche must be discovered anew if women are to understand themselves, but also if the patriarchally masculine world that has fallen ill thanks to its extreme one-sidedness is again to return to health. ”
“The white fathers told us: I think, therefore I am. The Black mother within each of us – the poet – whispers in our dreams: I feel, therefore I can be free.”
“...the devaluation of the real woman was compensated by daemonic traits. She no longer appeared as an object of love, but as a persecutor or witch. The consequence of increasing [worship of Mary] was the witch hunt, the indelible blot on the later Middle Ages.”
