We now live in a post-modern world flooded with information and neo-capitalistic injunctions of materialism and consumerism. We feel hindered in our relationship with time and pressured to control our outer lives as well as our inner emotions and thoughts. It is increasingly difficult to trust natural psychic processes, to relate to our inner world, and to find meaning in our lives. Postmodern generations feel that something is missing in their struggle to experience Soul, and as a result new psychological pathologies are emerging on an individual and collective level. This presentation will explore how the approach developed by C.G. Jung is particularly relevant today in responding to contemporary psychological quandaries and the search for Soul and meaning.
