Soul Reflections

with John Hoedl, Jungian Analyst, Edmonton

The workshop will begin with a discussion about what participants mean when they use or hear the word “soul” and how this compares with Jung’s ideas of this term. This will be followed by a closer discussion about the concept of a psychological soul focusing

on two versions or notions found in Jung’s work, one that is “pre-alchemy” and more in line with classical Jungian thought, and the other “post-alchemy” and more aligned with modern physics and philosophy.

We will also look at the implications of these seemingly divergent approaches in personal dreams as well as the arena of clinical work, especially with regard to symptoms such as depression, anxiety, compulsions, etc. As well, we will engage in discussion about soul and our modern situation focusing on questions such as: “Does technology have “soul?” and “How do the internet and artificial intelligence fit into the notion of a psychology with soul?”
