Mae Stolte
Lecture: Hope in the Wilderness
In 1928 Jung wrote, “In the course of the millennia we have succeeded not only in conquering the wild nature all around us, but in subduing our own wildness -at least temporarily and up to a point.” In our present day of increasing loss of our wild places and of the threat of extinction of diverse species of Nature’s creatures, it becomes ever more important to ask the questions: What is Wilderness? Why is it so important to ensure its place on this planet? What is its meaning for human psyches, individually and collectively? What does Wilderness within look like? As a place in our inner journey, it often carries a negative image of what is not there. As a part of ourselves, the Wild Woman/Man often creates discomfort and fear; becomes something we need to get rid of or control. In this lecture, we will explore these questions with a focus on what the outer and inner wilderness contains for us, what we may discover there, and how this can give us a sense of hope in out struggles toward wholeness in our life’s journey.
