Loss, defeat, and disappointment are inevitable, difficult to accept, and harder to understand. Yet, these crises, whether personal or collective, can be an invitation to enter into consciousness and the unfolding of our larger story. The destruction of our constricted attitudes and limited sense of possibility opens the heart, as Jung said, "until the unconscious produces those symbols that bring us back into the original symbolic life." Then, on a deeper level, we may find Nature's intent for our lives. This lecture will explore life's sacred wounds as transformative "necessities" in our journey toward meaning and wholeness, as we dare to live courageous, authentic lives. |
