Carl Jung believed that the difference between a good life and a bad life was how well one walked through fire and that difficulties are necessary for the realization of the Self. In this study group, we will discuss readings of Jungian concepts pertaining to this process. Three films will be recommended for viewing to enhance our exploration of the manifest Self, how the plot creates a fire for transformation, and if the characters respond to the summons for growth.

Learning objectives
By the end of this course, participants will:

  1. Identify the role of relationship in the process of Self realization
  2. Employ the parallel process comparing the resistance or acceptance of the journey toward wholeness
  3. Apply the concept of the incarnation of Self as it is portrayed in each film’s characters
  4. Recognize how authentic suffering and neurotic suffering impact Self realization
