Creating a Life

Living in the Intersection of Fate, Character and Choice

Welcome to this program!

By JAMES HOLLIS, Ph.D

MAIN TOPICS

Just how free are we anyhow? Despite the growing evidence of genetic tendencies, neurological programs, and social influences, all religious, political, ethical systems hold us accountable for how we live our lives and the consequences that flow therefrom. This lecture will explore a range of topics from the many influences that work on our lives to the attitudes and practices that we may adopt for a life of accountability, dignity, and perhaps even freedom.

 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

What some of the obstacles are for living our journey more authentically.
The limitations of what we can, or cannot do, with our choices.
New ways of viewing our stuck places.
Accessing one's inner source of guidance.
A greater personal authority, humility, and resolve to address life's challenges.

WHAT DO STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY

"James Hollis has a rare gift for taking us directly to the core issues in our journeys. I always come away feeling that I have been given permission to be where I am in my own life and to continue on my own path, and know that I will have the company of others who are on their parallel journeys."

- Program Participant

"My experience with Dr. Hollis and his professional expertise and knowledge of Jung psychology has been a beacon of light in my personal day-to-day journey through life. His teachings challenge me to "show up" in life and bring the best that I have to offer to the situations and circumstances surrounding me. I now have a question that I carry with me every day: "What wants to enter the world through me?" From that question, I stand in a more conscious space of awareness. Becoming a member of the Jung Society had been arguably the best decision I made this year."

- Gregory, Program Participant

"Dr. Hollis’s command of the body of knowledge, his engaging delivery of it, and his openness to engage with ideas from the audience made for a riveting lecture experience."

- Anne, Program Participant
