Lecture: Identifying and Owning Your Shadow

“This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine.”  (The Tempest 140, Act V, Scene I)

The Shadow is conceivably the most important concept that Jung’s psychology offers in our time. In a recent anthology, Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature, over 65 authors pivot off of Jung’s term and make use of it in provocative and relevant ways. This lecture will explore Jung’s original concept of the Shadow and will highlight its importance for individuals and the collective.
