Instructor: Warren Sibilla

In 1958 Jung held a momentous dialogue with Japanese Zen Master and Professor of Philosophy Shin’ichi Hisamatsu at his home in Kusnacht Switzerland. The topics they discussed included the notion of a “Self” from both the Eastern and Western perspectives, how to be in relationship to the Self, including the root source of suffering, and the alleviation of suffering. Join us for a lively discussion of Jung’s lifelong relationship with Eastern spirituality and in particular, Zen Buddhism as Dr. Sibilla shares with us his researches into this often overlooked meeting between two pivotal men of the 20th century.
