Reading: The Meaning of Mary Magdalene: Discovering the Woman at the Heart
of Christianity by Cynthia Bourgeault. Please bring a copy of the book to the first class.

Some years ago, a few of us read everything we could find about the woman in the Bible called Mary Magdalene, including all of Margaret Starbird’s books, various novels, and three non-canonical texts: the Gospels of Thomas, of Philip, and of Mary Magdalene. Subsequently, the huge popularity of Dan Brown’s novel and the movie made from it, The DaVinci Code, left no doubt that a powerful feminine archetype was emerging into collective consciousness.
Last year Cynthia Bourgeault, an Episcopal priest, scholar, and contemplative, published The Meaning of Mary Magdalene: Discovering the Woman at the Heart of Christianity. The mystic Andrew Harvey calls this book “a spiritual masterpiece, and by far the wisest and most profound book written on Mary Magdalene.” In it, Bourgeault invites us to consider this gospel character not only as an apostle, and not only as the beloved, but, perhaps most compellingly, as “unitive wisdom.”
If you’d like to reflect on Mary Magdalene in all these capacities and hear the Easter story in a significantly fresh chord, join me in this study group.

Sandy Cooper received her Master of Arts degree in English Literature from Washington University and her Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies from Aquinas Institute of Theology. She has a certificate in spiritual direction. Sandy is the current President of the C.G. Jung Society of St. Louis.

Jung, Evil, and Addiction
Presented by Dennis Droege, M.A.

5 Tuesdays; 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. February 7, 14, 21, 28 / March 6
Jung Society Friends: $85 / Others: $105 (10 CEUs)
Class limit of 6, held in a home in University City
Reading: The War of the Gods in Addiction by David E.
Schoen (2009; New Orleans, LA: Spring Journal Books)

David Shoen’s book, The War of the Gods in Addiction, is original in that it is dedicated entirely to the psychodynamic view of addiction. Schoen, a Jungian analyst from the New Orleans area, demonstrates why the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous really works. We will explore the similarities between the 12-step programs and Jungian psychology and examine the concepts of Archetypal Shadow/ Evil as well as the roles of the ego, the persona, and the shadow in recovery, using examples taken from myth, fairy tales, contemporary literature and theory. This will be fun!

Dennis Droege - MA, Mythology and Depth Psychology, Pacifica Graduate Institute, MA candidate in professional counseling at Lindenwood University, candidate in training with the Inter-Regional Society Jungian Analysts.

Scholarships

The Jung Society Board has decided to make a limited number of scholarships available for attendance to our lectures, workshops, and study groups. Our aim is to make Jungian ideas more available and accessible. With “Friends” memberships up (four-fold in the past year), the Board feels comfortable with allotting some budget to a scholarship fund. However, to make more scholarships available, we are appealing to the community to help with funding through donations to the Society. Please donate by using PayPal on this website or mail your check to the Jung Society of St. Louis, P.O. Box 11724, St. Louis, MO 63105. Scholarship Application Form
Again; please note:   These scholarships are for attending Jung Society events only.

We are deeply grateful for all the help and support from the larger community.

Texts for the study groups may be purchased or ordered from your local bookseller.
