The Calgaru Jung Society would like to invite you to a special guest lecture and workshop at the University of Calgary. James Hollis , Ph. D., is a Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst, Executive Director of the Jung Educational Center of Houston, and author of twelve books, including Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life and his latest, Why Good People Do Bad Things: Understanding our Darker Selves

Lecture: Why Good People Do Bad Things: Revisiting the Shadow
For each of us there are energies, motives, agendas which operate outside our conscious control and sometimes are contrary to our professed values. These energies, which Jung collectively identified as the Shadow, might best be defined not as evil, but as that which makes us uncomfortable with ourselves. Such energies represent an enormous invitation for greater consciousness, for living more ethically, and whose integration brings a greater possibility of wholeness. This program will define and illustrate the many ways in which the Shadow operates in personal and social life.


Workshop: Engaging the Personal Shadow 
What is our personal Shadow? How may we come to know that which is by definition unconscious within us? A series of exercises and questions will help provide greater self awareness. Please bring a note book and pen with which to journal.

Learning Objectives: 
  •     What is meant by the concept of The Shadow?
  •     How does the Shadow show up in personal, psychological life?
  •     How does the Shadow manifest collectively in social settings?
  •     How does one gain a greater awareness of the personal and collective Shadow?
  •     What Shadow issues may show up between therapist and client?
