THE POWER OF TREES

Timed to this month's celebration of Earth Day, this evening’s group discussion and PowerPoint presentation of images invites us into an experiential exploration of humanity’s mythical and spiritual relationship with trees. This presentation highlights recent scientific discoveries about trees as sentient beings who live in communities and whose presence provides healing for spirit, soul and body. In addition, the archetypal nature of trees is considered through Jung’s essay, The Philosophical Tree, as well as the Hebrew Tree of Life, the African Tree of Life, the Yggdrasil or Norse World Tree, the Mother Tree in Avatar, and the Ents in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

Tonight's Presenter: Rebecca Pottenger is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice in Sacramento and co-organizer of the Jungian Learning Circle.
