Is it possible that we can find the tension of these opposites - power and eros - wrestling at the core of most shadowed conflict: intrapsychic; interpersonal, familial, socio-political and cultural? Jung clarifies that hidden within conflict lays an invitation to meet Shadow - both individual and collective - at key moments in the process of psychological growth. We will explore how the things that threaten us - that feel ominous and frightening to us - present us with valuable opportunities for individuation. Using the myth of Psyche and Eros, workshop participants will be invited to explore how both myth and fairy tale can help us recognize shadow, its projection and its recall. This workshop will include a power point, discussion, the sharing of dreams, and writing. Prior to this workshop participants are encouraged to view two films: Bill Condon's 2017 version of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast and Anthony Harvey's 1968 film The Lion in Winter.
