Description
with Nathan Schwartz-Salant, PhD During our Holiday Giving Drive, we are publishing one episode each week. This week we’re taking a break from the series Jung in the World to bring you a seminar from our archives. Please help us reach our $25,000 goal by joining our community of generous donors on our donor wall and podcast credits and become a member of the Institute if you aren’t already! Mythology can help us to understand and integrate the shadow, but this endeavor can also be undermined by the use of mythology. In particular, the limiting madness of the shadow can be denied, and with this denial one can lose a sense of soul and embodied life. Schwartz-Salant examines the nature of madness and evil and the means of coming to terms with these powerful elements of the shadow.
