Nothing seems to preoccupy us more than the desire for relationships. Is it time you had a closer look at what is, or is not, working in your personal life?
Renowned Jungian Analyst and author James Hollis, PhD will explore the extremes of relationship, from delight to disillusionment, and the power dynamics invariably at play between ourselves and those closest to us. Among the many open-ended questions Dr. James Hollis will explore are:
• Is the best relationship that we can achieve with our intimate “Other” a function of the relationship we achieve within ourselves?
• What is our hidden agenda in the search for a "Magical Other"?
• What creates our relationships, our yearnings, our catastrophic repetitions?
• What is the difference between being in love and loving?
The challenge of examining our deepest relationships will ask more of us than we wish to give.
But it is just such a risk that may bare a gift of bringing us to a new experience of love.Join us after the evening lecture for aWine and Cheese Receptioncelebrating The Calgary Jung Society’s 2oth AnniversaryJames Hollis will be in attendance for a book signingJames Hollis, PhD is a Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst in private practice in Houston, Texas.
