The Guild of Pastoral Psychology
Re-enchanting the World: Necessity, Theory and Experience
Notice: This event is not booking at the moment (see below).
“Our civilisation is dangerously out of balance, dominated by our “disenchantment of the world” (Max Weber) and “monotheism of consciousness” (C.G. Jung).Re-enchanting the world offers a psychological approach to healing our broken relationship with nature within and nature without. Such a metanoia is needed if we are to negotiate the environmental impacts of our own making—the Anthropocene—without descending into barbarism.”
Andrew Fellows will demonstrate some striking synergies between analytical psychology, Gaia theory and deep ecology and their potential to transform our attitude so that we can embrace a materially simplified future existence joyfully rather than merely endure it.
Yuriko Sato will draw on more personal experiences of what Rachel Carson called “the sense of wonder”, including in clinical practice and from an Eastern perspective.
Together, they bring head, heart and soul to the defining challenge of our time.
The Guild is delighted to welcome two analysts from ISAP Zurich to spend the day with us in London to address aspects of the Anthropocene. Please save the date.
Further details will be available November 2020
