Program Description

 

PILGRIMAGE

 

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.

 

· Jena Shinoda Bolen

 

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.

 

· James Hillman, A Psyche the Size of the Earth
