holis'c educa'on for sustainable living and personal empowerment Cosmos and Psyche: Art, Culture and Planetary Archetypes A one‐day seminar with Prof. Richard Tarnas, California Ins7tute of Integral Studies Saturday 13th June, 9:30 – 12:30 & 14:00 – 17:30 Moray Arts Centre, The Park, Findhorn, Moray Fee: £60 incl. Tea & Coffee / £35 N.F.A Members “There is no place without Gods and no ac'vity that does not enact them. . . . Every experience has its archetypal reason.” ‐‐ James Hillman As Jung recognised, astrology provides profound insight into the deep paNerns of human experience and of our cultural history, but such insight depends on a capacity for rich archetypal percep7on, something that involves not only thinking but the emo7ons, the imagina7on, the aesthe7c intui7on, the body, the whole being. Because music and the arts engage all these dimensions, this workshop will use representa7ve works of music and the other arts with the powerful lens of archetypal astrology to explore and illuminate the deeper character of major cultural figures and historical eras. The workshop’s aim is to provide informa7on that those new to astrology can immediately integrate into their lives, and that advanced students can use to deepen their grasp of the range and subtlety of archetypal astrological analysis. Above all, our 7me together will be devoted to geVng to know more profoundly the planetary gods. Our focus will be on increasing our direct understanding and experience—intellectual, imagina7ve, aesthe7c, emo7onal, and soma7c—of these archetypal powers of the world soul, the anima mundi. Richard Tarnas is a professor of philosophy and cultural history at the California Ins7tute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where he founded the graduate program in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness. He also teaches archetypal studies and depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Ins7tute in Santa Barbara. A graduate of Harvard and formerly the director of programs at Esalen Ins7tute, he is the author of The Passion of the Western Mind, a history of the Western world view from the ancient Greek to the postmodern that became both a best seller and a required text in many universi7es. He frequently lectures at Eranos in Switzerland as well as at various Jung ins7tutes and socie7es throughout the U.S., and is on the Board of Governors of the C. G. Jung Ins7tute of San Francisco. His most recent book, Cosmos and Psyche: In8ma8ons of a New World View, received the Book of the Year Prize from the Scien7fic and Medical Network in the UK.
