OUR LATEST COURSE — Maps & the Cartography of the Soul

9 weeks, starting September 23rd ~ REGISTRATION OPENS September 1st

A richly illustrated survey of maps from many times and places—those of early explorers
and up-to-date atlases, altered maps, maps of vanished lands and peoples, propaganda
maps, treasure maps, fantasy maps, dreamscapes and much more.
In each, we'll find hidden clues about mapping our own inner terrains—along with
maps from present-day spiritual seekers who've become cartographers of the soul.

As without, so within.

 

On his return from the heart of Africa in 1926, C.G.Jung commented how unfortunate it was that travel to "the dark continent" had become so easy. Why? Because after such a trip the traveler might think, "Well, now I've been to deepest Africa..." and, thus, never travel to the dark continent within. For Jung, of course, this dark continent was the unexplored human psyche or soul.
Are there maps of the soul that can aid inner travelers? Yes—for there have ever been those who've sought to depict the invisible in visible, cartographic form. We'll find

Maps of the Soul's Life,
                      Maps of the Soul's Home, and
                             Maps of the Soul's Journey.

Our hope: that the outer maps will help us discover unknown places within ourselves (like the terra incognita of the early explorers), gain consciousness about our interior landscapes...and even become soul-cartographers of our personal geography.

Pre-requisite: A little humility (and even a sense of the ridiculous!) as we attempt to chart that which is beyond charting!

These include illustrated text from the perspective of Jungian psychology, along with suggestions for grounding course contents into daily life via active imagination and prayer.

Our Online Studies fit easily into viewers' self-designed independent study programs.
