Jungian Psychology and Celtic Spirituality: Resources for a Grounded Mysticism
September 7-9, 2018 | Lake Junaluska, N.C.
The Retreat will seek to address the deep hunger for a soulful spirituality, one which overcomes the centuries-old splits between matter and spirit, earth and heaven, body and soul. Drawing on Jungian psychology, and the ancient wisdom which nourished our Celtic ancestors, Dr. Wright will propose what might be called a “grounded mysticism." The Retreat will provide a creative space for considering inclusive God-images and a new religious/spiritual paradigm which seems to be on the horizon. No previous knowledge of Celtic spirituality nor Jungian psychology is required for full participation.
