Moving beyond a materialist, reductionist worldview.
Max Weber predicted that we would all be taken over in a bureaucratic age and enter into what he called an iron cage of rationality. It would be a wonderful world where everything was managed but the price you pay for going into the iron cage is you become disenchanted.
You would miss the sense that there are things that are mysterious and wonderful in their mysteriousness.
- Adam Curtis, Filmmaker
Taking a Jungian approach, this course explores archetypal integration and shadow work. A key aspect of Jungian psychology is that "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."
The tarot’s major arcana is a timeless tool to understand the soul’s journey and to accentuate our light while uncovering our shadow. Anaïs Nin captured how vital it is to continue learning and constantly pushes the bounds of our understanding and staying open to awe:
"We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.”
Embark on the soul’s quest while discovering the mystique of the tarot all while taking in archetypal development and self-growth.
