*Limited to 20 participants. 

C.G. Jung believed that human beings have a “religious instinct.” He believed that the goal of psychotherapy wasn’t only about adapting to social and cultural values, but also a chance for profound spiritual development. How do you define your spiritual life? Whether you are atheist, agnostic, spiritual or mystical, full of faith or full of doubt or some of both, what does this look and feel like for you? Finding the words for the spiritual side of your life  – or lack thereof – offers the chance for powerful personal growth. In this session, we’ll explore expressions of spiritual life through a variety of short readings from writers of personal essays and spiritual memoirs. We’ll talk about different ways to articulate our spiritual lives and look at ways to get our thoughts into words for ourselves and/or our loved ones or others.
