Carl Jung & Hildegard of Bingen
with Kayleen Asbo, Ph.D.
Thursdays, December 3rd & 10th
6-7:30 pm PST
Event will be hosted online.
A recording of the live salon will also be sent to all registrants within 24 hours of the live salon.
Carl Jung and Hildegard of Bingen were both powerful mystics whose connection to transpersonal forces led them to boldly embrace unconventional lives of healing and wholeness. Jung's visionary experiences in the 20th century became the basis for his celebrated Red Book from which all of his later work on Analytical Psychology emerged.
Some 900 years before, the Benedictine Abbess Hildegard of Bingen had a midlife awakening that opened the floodgates of inspiration, leading her to become a theologian, playwright, composer, and pioneer of natural medicine as well as a spiritual director and artist.
In this visually rich presentation in two parts, cultural historian and mythologist Dr. Kayleen Asbo will present on the parallels between their lives and works, and how their profound insights can help embolden us now with courage to pursue our own inner knowing and individuation.
Part 1: The Awakenings of Jung & Hildegard
