This course uses both primary sources and modern commentary to present the key Gnostic teachings and the secret wisdom that lie at the heart of gnosis. Particular attention is given to Jung’s appreciation and use of Gnosticism in his work and thought.

Some of the topics Joel will cover include: Jung’s relationship with music, musical dreams and non-rational creativity, applying Jungian approaches to working with music, musical active imagination and how archetypes, shadow and anima/animus images show up in sound.
