Dr. James Hollis, esteemed author, teacher, and Jungian analyst, is a favorite speaker of Jung groups around the world, including our Nashville Jung Circle. We were honored to host Dr. Hollis in person in 2017 and 2018 and via Zoom in 2021. Dr. Hollis returns online in October, 2023, to discuss the personal stories we each live by, based on his recent book, The Broken Mirror. In describing this upcoming talk, Dr. Hollis says:
We are creatures who need to understand, at any cost. And so we 'story' our experiences, and those stories, provisional, localized, and often created at an early stage of our history, become defining narratives. The disarray of our histories nevertheless can be a powerful clue to the “meta-stories” to which we have been in service to for many years. Until these “narrative interpretations” can be smoked out, we remain their captive. In a series of questions, we will be invited to examine the stories we have been serving, and then engage stories that honor what wants to unfold from within us.
The Broken Mirror: Refracted Visions of Ourselves is recommended reading for this event.
