Special Offer: "Why the World Doesn't End"
Audio Lecture by Depth Psychologist/ Mythologist Michael Meade
This month, Depth Alliance members receive 25% off our featured audio lecture from Jung Platform: "Why the World Doesn't End"--a timely and compelling talk from Michael Meade.
Behind the serious crises occurring in both culture and nature there is a crisis of meaning and a loss of the sense of the world as a place of ongoing creation.
When "the End" seems near, how people imagine the world becomes more important; how people imagine humanity becomes of the utmost importance. In "dark times" the issue becomes living an authentic life.
Michael Meade is one of the greatest depth psychological teachers of our time, and his story telling ability is magical and profound. Mr. Meade has studied myth, anthropology, history of religion, and cross-cultural rituals for over 35 years. He is an author, scholar, mythologist and storyteller and founder of a non-profit organization Mosaic Multicultural Foundation.

Free Teleseminar
When the Gods Are Silent:
Awakening to the Voice of Meaning and Healing
with Jungian Michael Conforti, Ph.D.
November 29th, 8-9pm ET
This free teleseminar will introduce and expand on the theme of the upcoming annual conference in Assisi, Italy, in July 2013
There are times in our life when the vistas of all that we love, are blurred, when those arms we long to rest in seem ever so far away, and the passion that we have felt, is suddenly absent. It is in these moments that we may feel that the Gods have grown silent.
It may be a serious illness, a loss of a loved one, of a personal Dark Night of the Soul, that creates this estrangement from soul and Self, and this darkening which the alchemists refer to as the Nigredo. It is those moments where meaning seems lost and the darkness of despair threatens to engulf us that try our souls. Yet, as Jung alludes, there is still a voice calling out to us in the darkness, words of primordial wisdom which, if we are able to hear them, will give us a "place of refuge" and the strength to "outlive the longest night."
From the mystics, the alchemist and from Jung, we learn that it may only be through an experience of this darkening that we can find our way to transcendence, and a re-connection to what is good within the world and within the psyche.
The 2013 conference will take an in-depth look at how it is that we can recover our sense of vitality and meaning in the world, through our dreams, creativity and relationships, and find a way to live with and live through those challenges.
