The Hole in the Heart: Why We Fail at Love
November 14, Friday Lecture
Friday - 7:30 p.m.-10:00 p.m.
Why is love so difficult? How do we fail it? For centuries, love has been a topic for philosophy, theology, and especially the arts. During the past century, depth psychology, evolutionary theory and modern science have taken up the topic as well. Yet marriages and partnerships continue to break up, and the divorce rate climbs. We seem to be failing at love. Are we the problem? Modern society? Or is it love itself that is so difficult? Could love be problematic even at an “archetypal level”?
To explore the situation, this lecture will draw upon the Upanishads of the East, Homer’s Hymn to Aphrodite of the ancient Greek world, Virgil’s Aeneid of the Roman West. To bring our view to the present, we will also look at some contemporary film clips. By the end of the discussion, we will have a better appreciation of why love is difficult, how and why we fail at love, and what those failures could be asking of us.
Fairy Tales and the
Journey to Elsewhere
November 15, Saturday Workshop
Saturday - 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Explore the rich lessons fairytales can teach us. Before the age of electronic entertainments, or even the amusement of the printed word, folks gathered around story tellers to hear tales richly combining the marvelous and the ordinary. These fairy tales portrayed an awareness of psychological patterns and a wisdom of and beyond the ordinary run of daily activity. Jungians today view fairytales as essential for discovering the workings of the psyche.
Participants are invited to bring a copy of the Grimm’s collected tales. Dr. Berry will be using the Pantheon Books edition, but participants should bring whatever collections they have available.
