Losing Touch and Gaining Infinite Connection. In Person (venue TBC)

Dreamers At Home and Adrift in a Quantum/Post-Quantum World In the quantum world, here or there becomes here and there … and at the same time probably elsewhere. The lecture begins to explore how this experience feels familiar to the Jungian dreamer and the analysand on the path of individuation. As technology creates more and more communication and information pathways for humans, scientific research discovers more and more invisible patterns of connection underlying life systems in nature itself. As we explore these webs, we can recognize close relationships with the dynamics of unconscious life. As we benefit from these gains, we must also reflect on losses in embodied human interactions. We will illuminate these ideas through poetry, art, fairy tale and dream. Josephine Evetts-Secker graduated from the University of London and the Jung Institute, Zürich.
