“I would say the goddess energy is trying to save us. If we go on with our power tactics, we're going to destroy the earth. That's why we haven't got a long time to evolve. We're either going to make a leap in consciousness or we aren't going to be here. Sophia, Shakti, by whatever name we call her, is that wisdom deep down in all matter, pushing her way into consciousness, one way or another."
(Marion Woodman, Conscious Femininity, p. 97).
Much of the moral and ethical bankruptcy that we encounter in the contemporary world can be traced back to the loss of what Western rationality has typically described as feminine values. Warmth, feeling, gentleness, kindness, contentment, serenity, these are not specifically nor exclusively feminine qualities, yet they are typically excluded from descriptions of the masculine. This is an historical Western cultural issue, but it has begun to reach a tipping point in contemporary culture. Although steeped in Victorian and European patriarchal cultural values, Carl Jung recognized and championed the need for a new appreciation and integration of feminine values into the contemporary world.
In this course we’ll look at how classical Jungian psychology understands the importance of the divine, or archetypal feminine in the context of individual as well as cultural development. Through his appreciation of myth, folk tales, and non-rational way of discovering meaning, Jung was able to recognize the value of ways of understanding the world that have largely been displaced by the values of contemporary patriarchal culture. We will explore Jung’s psychological theory, and why mythical expressions of the divine feminine have such an important role to play for the individual and cultural development of both men and women in the modern world.
