Illuminating the Hidden Self: Navigating the Jungian Shadow with Psychedelics

This online hybrid live course delves into the profound realms of the human psyche, drawing upon the pioneering work of Carl Jung, the transformative potential of psychedelics, and the intersection of the two worlds. Participants will embark on a journey to understand the concept of the “Shadow” – the hidden, unconscious aspects of the personal psyche and the collective – and explore how psychedelics can serve as tools to illuminate and integrate these often-neglected facets of our being.

Class meets on Wednesdays, for 8 weeks, from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. PST / Noon -2:00 p.m. EST, beginning on Oct. 30, and continuing until Dec. 18.
