About this Event
JUNGIAN LECTURE: “Integrity: A Jungian exploration of the relationship between wholeness, accountability and facing one’s shadow”
by Kira Celeste, PhD
“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious” ~Carl Jung, CW 12, p. 99
The word "integrity" comes from the Latin word meaning "soundness, wholeness, completeness." To be in integrity means to be accountable for the totality of oneself—the good as well as the bad. Accountability is integral to integrity, and so, in Jungian terms, we can understand accountability of one’s shadow as key on the path to wholeness. Join us in this talk as together we delve into all that we normally avoid facing, into the beauty and challenge of what we might call: The Shadow.
