Soulfulness: Listening to Soul
by Susan M. Tiberghien
Available Right Now
COURSE DESCRIPTION
...we will listen anew to our souls.
Soul is calling out to us. We are not listening. Busyness has overtaken our lives. We look at our iPhones, our computers, our emails and tweets. We don't have time to look at the wild flowers in the woods, the star-studded sky at night. We don't have time to appreciate soulfulness.
In this four-part course, we will listen anew to our souls. We will see how Jung found his soul in the dark, in the unconscious, how she led him forward toward wholeness, the journey in the Red Book. We will find anew our souls and listen to them within ourselves, our relationships, the natural world. We will practice active imagination as we dialogue with them, in journaling and drawing. We will shine the light of our souls into the world around us.
There will be handouts with excerpts from C.G. Jung, also from Plato, Hildegard, Meister Eckhart, Rilke, Merton, Moore, Estes and others. At the end of each class, a writing exercise will be suggested to let the lesson take root in our lives.
How to find your soul within yourself, within relationships and the natural world.
How to listen to your soul.
An appreciation of Jung's journey to his soul.
An understanding of the role of imagination.
Ways to approach soul through dialoguing, journaling, and drawing. Ways to share moments of soulfulness.
