The etymology of the word religion reveals the root is "ligare," which means to tie, bind, or connect. For instance, the word ligament is derived from this root. The prefix "re" presumes something has been separated, divided or broken. Religion means to reconnect. The religious nature of the Psyche is to make a whole. The role of symbol and myth is to be a resource for this process.
This lecture will discuss the unhealthy and healthy religious attitude, as well as the archetypal structure which, when made conscious, can be an invaluable resource and process of individuation.
Workshop: Saturday, May 12, 2012, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Good Shepherd Center, Room 202
