The Jungian concept of Shadow has a wide foundation in traditional Christian theology and biblical psychology. There is a challenge knowing what aspects of a person are simply unconscious aspects of the self that one calls shadow, from known destructive aspects of the unconscious that need to be recognized and cut off. Two sessions of three hours each of teaching and interactive dialogue will help unpack this content.

Sunday February 20, 2022

Session one. Defining the shadow, as repressed, forgotten, rejected aspects of our inner gold. Understanding aspects of the shadow that cannot and should not be integrated, but must be repented thereof. 

Session two. The shadow can become destructive to ourselves and others when it remains unconscious. How to make the shadow conscious. Understanding psychological projection.  

Sunday February 27,2022

Session one. Dream images of the shadow in men and women. Nightmares, Identifying the collective shadow in dreams. Understanding our own individual shadow symbols. 

Session two. How to integrate and make the shadow conscious, thus accessing the positive energy latent within it.
