THE (Jungian) HEROINE'S JOURNEY! @ Changing Hands Cafe, 3-6pm on September 27!

Greetings,

Join us as we discuss the Heroine's Journey with Cara, a long-time member of the group, as our discussion leader. We will discuss this broad topic through the Jungian lens. Here is the last stanza of a a great poem I found online:

"A silver scarab perched upon the wall.
A hand much larger than my own placed
The scarab in my mouth and bade me eat.
I chewed the living, bitter thing
Its blackened juice ran down my chin
I felt its struggling leg and wing inside my throat.
I screamed and writhed and then the scales fell from my eyes,
A sea of vision rushing in on me.
The strangest sea I’ve ever known, a remnant of an ancient mind
Atlantis and the Amazon, the matriarchal clan and tribe,
Repealed, taboo, now back again.
A new and glorious mind I had, so full of light
But darkness too.
And now the perfect balance struck,
The golden mean, the androgyne,
The equidistant sun and moon.
The earth shimmers in her radiant health,
Her dawning light and emerald dress, and precious dew.
O glorious day! O brave new world to be."
