Jung and The Gnostics with Kayleen Asbo
Thunder Perfect Mind: The Call of the Wild Feminine
(While each of these salons on Jung & the Gnostics is a stand-alone gathering, this is the second of a series of six salons present by Kayleen Asbo, PhD. )
One of the largest surprises about the treasure trove of early texts discovered in Nag Hammadi, Egypt was the emphasis on the Sacred Feminine. In this second episode of Jung and the Gnostics, we will explore how early Christianity of the first few centuries offered women a place of strength and empowerment beyond cultural gender expectations- and how that expansion evaporated after the advent of Augustine's Doctrine of Original Sin. In contrast, we will see how the ecstatic poem Thunder Perfect Mind echoes with images from Ancient mythology that calls us to a place beyond duality in a celebration of the feminine in all of its wild paradox.
You can attend only this one salon or purchase the package of all six salons, one Friday evening a month from January to June, 2021. Details below and at registration.
