What Matters Most: How Can We Be Transformed? (Hybrid)

Why are we here? How can we live fulfilled, meaningful lives? Why do we suffer? How do we build a truly connected, inclusive community? The most important questions in our lives do not have simple answers. Often we have to live our way into those answers over a long time – they can't be found in five easy steps in a YouTube video. And we need people and perspectives different from our own to support us in the process.

In this yearlong series, we will ask six questions that can help us discern what matters most in our lives. Each of these four-week classes will explore the practical wisdom of C.G. Jung and depth psychology to open new possibilities, to give us tools for the journey, and to connect us with others who are deeply concerned with living lives of integrity and relatedness:

How can we be free?
Why do we harm others?
Why do we suffer?
How can we be transformed?
How can we accept mortality?
How can we help others?

Course Three: How Can We Be Transformed?

We often hear inner voices telling us to "grow stronger", "be smarter", "fix yourself". We don't always know if the voices we hear are our own, or if they even have our best interests at heart. But when our worlds are turned upside-down by changes outside of our control – changes that, perhaps, can't be undone – we have to know how to listen for the voice that calls for change.  Sometimes, the only way forward is the way of inner transformation.

But how, and when, do we engage this process?  In the next What Matters Most course, Anna Guerra will introduce us to the ways depth psychologists think about the process of psychological change – changes to our attitude, our personality, even our worldview and perceptions.  We'll take a hands-on approach to the tools and techniques that depth psychologists use to access, restore, and support our relationship with the natural processes of change.  Through learning to understand our dreams, interacting with our inner parts and landscapes, and discovering the hidden messages in our fantasies and everyday thoughts, we open ourselves to an exciting process of discovery and transformation, and a new way of living.
