 Jungian Analyst, , former Catholic priest, author of Compass of the Soul on tour from Chicago Thurs 30th Nov | 7.30 - 9.30pm | €12 | Cultivate Centre | 15-19 Essex St. West | Temple Bar | Dublin 8 John gives this insight into his talk: "The cosmic aspect of the feminine is the universe and the earth as mother is grounded in a containing feminine, which includes the human. We humans are the "universe conscious of itself." So it is essential that we understand the nature of the feminine as maternal, not just in nature but also in ourselves, especially through our dreams and myths. The essence of spirituality in any religion is our connection with nature. This idea is foreign to a paternal consciousness whether in Church and society. As a result this vast dominant attitude has not only damaged our earth but also our psyches. Patriarchy is an enemy of the feminine and so an enemy of nature and of the psyche in our personal search for a spiritual goal. Therefore, we need a rebalancing of this one-sided world view by recovering the sacred feminine, beginning with our personal self awareness, and also be realising the importance of an intimate loving relationship with nature." |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3€12 is a rather over the top admission fee. I take it that you wish to exclude ordinary people from the meeting.

unless of course...hmmzzz..another day that thought!
is the money going? Is this a commercial event? There is no reference to any campaiging or support group benefiting from this.
