Civilization in Transition III
IN SEARCH OF THE SOUL OF THE WORLD
NOV 1- 2-3, 2013
“My soul, where are you? I call you - are you there? After
years of wandering I come to you again…”(CGJ,The Red Book, p. 232)
Since “SOUL” is impossible to define and can’t be anatomically located, it has
been suggested many times that no such thing exists. But maybe soul is
something beyond ordinary perception, in the same way imagination and
creativity defy definition. World Soul is equally difficult to define, but we can
imagine it in Earth’s history, direction, and creative expression.
Human consciousness is one of those expressions. How, and if, we use it
determines our own soul’s path, and influences World Soul.
Many of us in the Jungian community have increasing concerns about the longterm effects of plundering Earth’s resources; conglomerates of unparalleled
wealth and influence; climate changes of unknown origin or direction; bitter
factions touting fear and blame; dizzying technological changes; increasing acts
of violence; and other signals of a changing world order. We invite you to join
us in considering individual responsibility for the new order we face, still
unforged and uncertain.
With us will be Dr. Lynn Bauman, scholar, theologian, and author of The Gospel
of Thomas: Wisdom of the Twin, whose grasp of ancient images brings a rare
view of the symbols of world and personal soul; Dr. Bridgette Eggers, Zurich
analyst and environmentalist, discussing what psychology and mythology can
tell us about ecology, in Flowing Waters of Soul and Planet. Award-winning
musician Jacqueline Hairston of the Bay Area will join us for soul and gospel
music, along with analysts and conference leaders Wynette Barton of Austin &
Nancy Qualls-Corbett of Birmingham. As we explore the meaning of this
volatile transitional time, Austin analyst Priscilla Murr , Mexican Folk Art
collector & specialist, will lead a Day of the Dead celebration on Nov. 1.
We will meet at Lost Pines Resort, Austin, TX, on the banks of the
Colorado River in the Hill Country, beginning Friday morning, Nov 1, and
ending Sunday, Nov. 3. In this invitation for meaningful presentations and
discussion, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible if you plan to come.
Early planning will help keep the conference as intimate and personal as our
subject requires. Cost and accommodations are on the following page.
12 Continuing Education Units awarded

Directors: Murray Stein, John Desteian, Nancy Qualls- Corbett, Wynette Barton, Judith
