The evolution of a myth adds to its wholeness filling in archetypal patterns. Not doing so can lead to stagnation by not opening space for the growth of new aspects of personality and culture. Denial and denigrating aspects of one’s personality leads to a pandemic of anxiety.

Looking at the evolution of the Circe myth through a Jungian lens as an archetypal individuation journey provides hope and a path for our culture in finding a more natural egalitarian balance of masculine and feminine energy in a direction of wholeness.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• Describe how the myth of Circe has evolved over the eons and what that might mean for an individual’s journey toward wholeness.

• Utilize the myth of Circe to identify projections and complexes that might trigger anger and frustration.

• Discuss shadow and how the radical denial of feminine/masculine traits and projection onto the other contribute to anxiety and depression.
