Class description:
Carl Jung believed the shadow to be the neglected, and often personified, parts of the self that we prefer to keep hidden from both ourselves and others. We begin a conscious relationship with these mysterious inner partners by seeing how our experiences of the “other,” are often extensions of our self. In some strange way, it seems we may enter our inner space by exploring the forces that move us in our outer space. Thus, when we look to the collective, we may reveal doors and windows that take us within. In our worldwide culture, the famous and the powerful — royalty, religious figures, celebrity figures, political leaders – placed on the pedestals of the divine, reveal an excessively over-valued reflection of both the positive and the negative qualities we sense or desire in ourselves. This is called shadow projection.

In this workshop, uncovering the root of these questions is the very quest we are on — to recognize that often what we seek “out there” is found within and that the unlived parts of us often carry a heavy burden whether we know it or not. Reflecting upon and integrating these beautiful segments of our bodies, minds, and souls offers us an invitation to a broader and more expansive life, greater awareness and presence with the nature of our personal experience, and the depths of the patterns and forces encountered in the human experience.

To explore and deepen your relationship with the ideas of how shadow projection and fame intertwine, we will work with practices like…

guided self-analysis
journaling
group discussion
active imagining
lecture and study
film

Were early religious ceremonies laced with a psychedelic wine or brew as sacraments? 61: The Immortality Key with Brian Muraresku In this episode, John interviews Brian Muraresku, author of New York Times Bestseller, The Immortality Key: The Secret History of The Religion with No Name. The thesis of Brian’s book positions psychedelics at the root of early the Christian Eucharist, and beyond that, at the root of religion as a whole. Through this conversation, Brian and John explore the psychedelic theory of religion, “graveyard beer” - a psychedelic brew used as a sacrament to commune with the dead 10,000 years ago, the mysteries of Eleusis – a Greek religious, esoteric tradition, literalism, the need for all of us to study the classics, healthy skepticism, Christ as a Dionysus figure, the relationship between blood and wine, the kingdom of heaven (not in the afterlife, but present day), the technology and science that is providing insight into our religious traditions, and the powers that seek to erase those histories – spoiler alert: for the Roman Catholic Church this was women and drugs. Referencing The Immortality Key, Jeff Kripal writes, “Buckle up tight, Toto. You were never in Kansas. It’s Oz everywhere and always." #consciousness #spirituality #psychedelics #myth #Christianity #theimmortalitykey #cult #rationalism #Jung #Jungian #depthpsychology #psychotherapy @thecenterforhas #witchesofinstagram #witches #feminine #etheogens #religion #sacred

The Sacred Speaks

Join depth psychotherapist and Jungian scholar, John Price, in an exploration of extraordinary stories and phenomena lurking beneath the surface of normal and everyday life. Listen in as John interviews experts, dilettantes, sinners, and saints to explore their professional and personal perspective on the underlying nature of the mysteries revealed within the mundane nature of day-to-day life.

John received his Master’s degree in clinical psychology and his Doctorate in Jungian psychology. He is in private practice and is also on the faculty of The Jung Center and The University of St. Thomas, both located in Houston, Texas. He lectures and teaches classes in subjects ranging from Parenting, and the psychology of fame, to S*x, Drugs and Rock & Roll.

This podcast seeks to accept a challenge laid out by Carl Jung: to explore the universal human feelings of emotional incompleteness, spiritual curiosity and one’s related search for wholeness and meaning, found not within the books of the scholar, but the brothels, bars, universities, financial districts, places of worship, family, and vocation. Interviews commence with the belief that, by engaging in this exploration, we can learn more about the psyche, consciousness, spirituality, philosophy and the profound, though often hidden, meaning of the day-to-day lives we lead (or which will lead us, if we aren’t watchful).
