Inhabiting a Larger Reality: How Psychedelics Heal
Depth psychologist C. G. Jung viewed neurosis as a kind of psychological illness that occurs when individuals, or cultures, have suppressed or ignored important aspects of inner or outer reality. In other words, we become psychologically sick when we inhabit a reality that is too small for the soul. Symptoms often express the soul's protest against this constriction. "Inhabiting a Larger Reality: How Psychedelics Heal" will explore how psychological constriction originates and how psychedelics can heal us by opening us to a larger reality—a reality large enough for the soul, and thus, a reality in which we can become whole and well both individually and culturally.
Bio
Dylan Francisco, Ph.D., is an assistant professor and co-chair of the Jungian and Archetypal Studies M.A./Ph.D. program at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California. Dylan grounds his teaching in the depth psychology of C. G. Jung, decolonialism, and the Nahua/Indigenous/Shamanic traditions of his Mexican lineage that provide a primordial, holistic, and sacred worldview within which to understand the psyche, to embody its wholeness individually, and to live it relationally through honoring Spirit, the ancestors, and the land.
