It was in 1933 that C.G. Jung wrote his great work titled, Modern Man in Search of Soul. Now, in 2021 - some 88 years after the publication of this book - we still hunger for a connection to soul. Drawing together an internationally acclaimed faculty, we will discuss what shape and form this hunger may take within our life, and ways to respond to the calling of Psyche and Soul. Within the land sacred to St Francis, and amidst the absolute beauty and tranquility of this hillside village of Assisi in Italy, we will spend a week literally immersed in the expression of Psyche.
Since space is limited for this conference, we are accepting deposits of $200 which can secure your seat until January 1, 2022. Should you change your mind, your deposit will be fully refundable by that date too.
