Moving Toward Life After Death and Loss

Thursday, July 12
6 - 8:30 pm
$50 ($40 Jung Center members)

What does it mean to grieve? Whether we are confronted by death, divorce, the end of a career, or the loss of faith in one's religion, the grieving process is necessary and different each time and for each person. Besides unbearable pain and confusion, these experiences are often accompanied by numinous dreams, visions, and synchronistic experiences that can inform us in our individuation process. We will compare these contemporary experiences with those found in the ancient myth of Inanna, tracing her underworld journey, as well as her husband Dumuzi's reluctant journey, as a model for understanding the grief process as initiation.

Recommended reading: Inanna: Queen of Heaven and Earth, Diane Wolkstein and Samuel Kramer.

Tom Carter, PhD, MTh, LPC, recently received his PhD in clinical psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. His dissertation was on archetypal dreams of initiation in depth psychotherapists. Tom has taught several book studies at The Jung Center and has a private practice in Rice Village.
