Red Spirituality: A Body Soul RE-Union (Online)

Walt Whitman wrote that “Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul”. There has been a great deal of discussion on the relationship between the mind and the body, but what about the relationship between the body and the soul? Through the works of artists, writers, poets, and philosophers, from ancient times to today, this class will explore the connection between soul, body, sexuality, death, and eroticism. We will attempt to explore and define a mysticism that instructor Robert Snellgrove refers to as Red Spirituality – a living, breathing, passionate, embodied spirituality. Join us for this course that will also survey how C.G. Jung viewed the relationship between the body and the soul, and the implications that this approach may have on 21st century therapy.
