A Jungian Perspective on Contemporary
Clinical and Cultural Understandings of an Ancient, Therapeutic Archetype
Solvitur
ambulando...It is solved by walking
All across the globe, there is a revival of interest in ancient
Pilgrimage routes and disciplines. The Earth is alive. The Ancients knew this
perhaps better than we. Through dream, legend, and ceremonial wisdom it was
revealed that reverently traversing certain paths across the surface of this
splendid sphere generated deep healing for physical, psychological, and, most
preciously, spiritual wounds. Taken as liturgical and therapeutic metaphor, it
became clear to these ancients that Pilgrimage is a prime paradigm into the
mysteries of the divine-human encounter; that Pilgrimage is the full journey after
a complete, compassionate consciousness we all take from birth to death, from
ignorance to enlightenment.
Avalon
exists where divinity dwells in nature
and
quickens it in the pilgrim.
·
In this seminar, the historical background and possible
contemporary applications of this vibrant archetypal presence in pastoral
psychotherapy will be explored. Using a Jungian-themed collage of film and
image, a theoretical model will be suggested for the respectful clinical,
cultural, and political access to and application of this ancient healing
vehicle. The topic is especially urgent, culturally, given the religious war
currently being waged between the three ancient Western Monotheisms—all
traditions with strong pilgrimage practices built on top of forgotten Goddess
practices. Can pilgrimage bring something toward planetary peace and healing as
well as individual psycho-spiritual growth?
An
individual’s harmony with his or her own deep self
requires
not merely a journey to the interior
but a
harmonizing with the environmental world.
