Workshop Description

Friday Lecture
The Development of a Personal Spirituality: A Depth Psychological Approach
Many people with a strong personal sense of the sacred no longer find this dimension within traditional religious systems. This lecture will describe sources of sacred experience within dreams, the natural world, the body, our relationships, our psychopathology, and by means of contact with transpersonal levels of the psyche. Based on Jung's notion that the psyche has an intrinsic religious function, Dr. Corbett will describe some of the implications of the idea that attention to the larger dimension of consciousness is becoming a new dispensation. This form of spirituality is purely personal, and does not require recourse to any preconceived theology, doctrine, or dogma.

Saturday Workshop
A Depth Psychological Approach to the Problems of Suffering: The Case of Job
Suffering is often the trigger for the discovery of a new image of the divine. This workshop will discuss the transformative possibility of suffering, using Job's experience as a case history. Instead of the traditional theological approaches to Job's suffering, we will discuss his situation in terms of the transformation of his narcissistic and depressive structures. We will continue by showing how this work inexorably led to his experience of a new image of the divine no longer colored by early-childhood object relations.
