Poets observe, reflect, write, reflect, and write again, and in so doing they ask us to stop and reflect a bit more than we might otherwise. The poets we’ll read in this course range from Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson to Sharon Olds and Stephen Dunn. Loosely arranged around the topics of Desire, Troubled Times, Discoveries, and Speculations, these poems will stir in you questions, provocations, and openings to your own depths.

Jung’s discovery that the psyche contains an innate God-image, a divine essence, avoids many of the problems associated with anthropomorphic, patriarchal God-images. Using examples from people’s personal experiences, we will describe and discuss a variety of ways in which the Self manifests itself in dreams, visions, and synchronicities. We will also discuss Jung’s idea that the Self has a dark side that is responsible for suffering and evil, as well as describe the ways in which this contrasts with the Christian God-image.
