AWAKENING IN THE SEPULCHRE: A JOURNEY TO ETERNAL BECOMING THE UMBILICAL
Catherine Cox

Catherine Cox

“My works are fundamentally nothing but attempts, ever renewed, to give an answer to the question of the interplay between the ‘here ’and the ‘hereafter.’” — C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections Sonu Shamdasani, editor of The Red Book, describes how Jung, in 1945, articulated what he described as a critical reformulation of analysis:

The whole goal of analysis is conceived … as the preparation for the detachment of the soul from the body. Not how is your life going, but how is your death coming along, would be the critical question from this perspective. Thus, analysis became reframed as a modern form of the ars moriendi.

This seminar invites a profound reorientation in how we live our lives. It is an invitation to drop into a deeper, more vital current of being— challenging, requiring sacrifice, but also alive with joy.
