Season 8 Opener: Thomas Moore on Soul Mates, October 21st - 22nd

The Jung Society of Utah is excited to welcome Thomas Moore on October 21st and 22nd for our spectacular Season 8 opener! Mark your calendar to join us for this soulful weekend!

Friday evening lecture

Most of us hunger for intimacy and at the same struggle for happiness in relationship. Thomas Moore's Soul Mates came out in the early 90s, suggesting that we might be better off bringing soul to marriage and partnerships than seeing love as a problem to be solved. We might appreciate imperfection and honor each other's mysterious natures and destinies.

This lecture aims at happiness together and yet gives a place to disillusionment, anger, misunderstanding and thoughts of giving up. It finds opportunity in the confusing longing in  most people for both intimacy and separateness, and suggests that marriage is a sharing of differences. Ultimately it's a matter of seeing love as complex and transforming.

Thomas also examines the narratives and images we take from our parents and other important people and bring them to our adult loves. He looks at the shadow of love, the "self-centered" and neurotic motives we bring to it, with the idea of transforming these matters into soul.

Interview: Thomas Moore on Creating Soulful Relationships
The Art of Cowry Shell Divination with Malidoma Somé 
Community Event: The Sacred Wound Workshop by Mike Sheffield
"How can we know ourselves by ourselves? . . . Soul needs intimate connection, not only to individuate, but simply to live. For this we need relationships of the profoundest kind through which we can realize ourselves, where self-revelation is possible, where interest in and love for soul is paramount."
- James Hillman

"A  soul mate is primarily someone with whom we have a soul connection," according to bestselling author  Thomas Moore. Although not everyone we meet is a soul mate, we can make all of our relationships more soulful.

The soul in relationship

"It's very important in keeping your soul alive to be attached, to be close to people, to get involved in the entanglements and complexities of life, to really allow yourself to enter life in all of its mess and confusion," Moore said. "That's what my friend and teacher  James Hillman used to say. "Soul is found in all the messes that we get ourselves into."

Wounds are an essential part of life.  They have the potential to become catalysts, initiating us into living with deeper purpose by drawing forth inner resources, hidden gifts, and a search for meaning.  Accessing the transformational magic that makes our wounds sacred in this way takes great heart, openness to possibility, and persistence.   In this workshop we will use poetry, stories, and reflective writing to explore examples of how this happens and what possibilities our own wounds may evoke.
 
Cost: $100
 
Workshop limited to 12 participants
