Jung once declared, “We all need nourishment for our psyche.  It is impossible to find such nourishment in an urban tenement without a patch of green or a blossoming tree.  We need a relationship with nature.”  The extent to which we wall ourselves off from such a relationship was of deep concern to Jung.  On Friday evening we will explore the roots of this attitude in Judaeo-Christian myth and in modern science.  But we will also bear witness to creative energies arising from the collective unconscious, especially since the pivotal year of 1972, to seed a new story about what it means to be human.
