A millennia-old form of spirituality, Gnosticism has experienced a reflorescence in the last 50 years, as many ancient texts have been discovered in the Near East. This course uses both primary sources and modern commentary to present the key Gnostic teachings and the secret wisdom that lies at the heart of gnosis. Particular attention is given to Jung’s appreciation and use of Gnosticism in his work and thought. Led by Sue Mehrtens

One of the most important of Jung’s theories was his idea of the inner partner, the “anima” in a man, the “animus” in a woman. Part of the individuation process is becoming aware of this inner energy and how it shows up in our lives, projected on to other human beings that we are attracted to, fall in love with, marry, fight with and struggle to understand. This workshop supports students’ wising up to the qualities and nature of their anima or animus via a series of exercises and analyses of their astrological chart. Led by Sue Mehrtens
