Eros & Psyche: A relational perspective on the journey towards love
October 26, 2019 @ 10:30 AM - 7:00 PM
R1,600.00
A workshop presented by Sheila Cowburn
The Myth of Eros and Psyche will be explored from a Jungian perspective through the lens of the psychological dilemmas the motifs represent in the psyche in a shifting patriarchal paradigm and its impact on relationships. The Eros/Psyche constellation will be viewed as the archetype of relatedness between men and women called along the soul’s journey from narcissism to mature Love.
Overcoming powerful complexes and transcending narcissism are features of the journey of the soul initiated by Love. Implicit in the themes to be explored will be the encounter with the repressed Feminine in both men and women. The illusory opposition between love and power reinforces the idea that males and the masculine have and use power and that females and the feminine are powerless. A more differentiated consciousness is our challenge and invitation.
There will be opportunity for working with images reflecting the motifs, group exploration and sharing.
