The
C.G. Jung Society of St. Louis proudly presents:Portals to the Sacred from a Jungian Perspective (Various Authors; Edited by Christy Beckman) "Whether prompted by dream or by ritual, by literature or by great loss, all of these contributors communicate that they have stood in a portal to the numinous and been indelibly touched. That was gift to them. What is gift to us is that in response to their experience they have attempted the impossible: to give words and images to what is truly ineffable. For that I am deeply grateful." Sandy Cooper, M.A., M.A.P.S., Spiritual Director and President of the C.G. Jung Society of St. Louis "These essays reflect the enormous importance of a personal connection to the sacred, a relationship which gives meaning to our lives and especially to our suffering. These eloquent and moving stories reveal the ways in which sacred experience is tailored to the individual’s personal psychology. At the same time, the authors beautifully demonstrate that our individual story can be found within the larger stories of humanity, while humanity’s stories can be found within our own story. We are part of a whole." Lionel Corbett, M.D., Jungian analyst and author of The Religious Function of the Psyche, Psyche and the Sacred, and The Sacred Caldron: Psychotherapy as a Spiritual Practice. "The complexities of Jungian psychology are exceeded only by the profound need of our time for its insights. I am most grateful to the St. Louis Jung Society for providing a forum to bring speakers and audience together to engage the insights depth psychology brings us. From their collective effort through the years, including the most recent writing contest, an investment in the worth, dignity, and mystery of the human psyche is honored. I have found that we do not really know what we think, feel, believe until we are obliged to articulate it to others. The St. Louis Jung Society is doing a remarkable job in bringing us to greater personal and collective consciousness and I salute you all." James Hollis, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and author of What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life, Why Good People Do Bad Things: Understanding Our Darker Selves, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life, and many others. $15 plus $2 shipping and handling anywhere within the continental United States.
