Return to the realm of the sacred as you face climate change

Dr. Jeffrey Kiehl has decades of experience as both a Jungian analyst and a climate scientist. In this moving course, he discusses Jungian principles as they relate to human-provoked climate chaos. You’ll learn how personal and cultural complexes have split us off from nature. You’ll also learn how to find the bridge back to the natural world, back to the center of sacredness. Jeff has a calm command of the facts. He also offers deep assurance that climate change itself is held in the living transpersonal vessel where spirit and matter are one. By engaging with our fears for the planet we just might find the way to our deepest place in our living world.

Answer the call from the world’s soul. Your bravery makes a difference.

Course Description

There’s a collective trauma that’s going on, namely climate change. Loss of species, pollution of many kinds, and global warming have radically altered our environment. We may try to avoid it, deny it or distract ourselves from it, but the anxiety remains. Jeffrey Kiehl encourages us to face our fears. His view is scientific and soulful, sober and tender. He offers a deeply spiritual view of the endangered state of our natural world and our place in it. Soulful activities like enjoying art, letting the imagination play, and forming dream groups are needed just as much as social action.

Jeffrey explains how the psyche is a self-balancing system, both on a personal and collective level. Knowing this, we’re better equipped to hold the tension rather than try to medicate or distract it away with busyness and buying. When we make the time and space for the ego and unconscious to converse we serve as midwives to the birth of a new living symbol. The new symbol that emerges bridges humans back to nature.

Jeffrey presents ecopsychology through Jung’s map of the psyche, Jung’s quintessential quotes and stories. Beginning with the center of consciousness, the ego, we see how our personal development and personal complexes influence our perception and experience of nature. Next Jeffrey explores how cultural complexes have contributed to our separation from nature. As we enter the still deeper realm of the collective unconscious we encounter the archetypal dimensions of environmental issues. 

Finally, Jeffrey considers synchronicities and the play of imagination as pathways to healing our split with nature. He offers his own favorite healing practices to reconnect us with our deepest inner nature. With support and tender attention we can reach the place where we realize we are kin to all beings. When we live from this experience of unity we are helping to heal humanity’s collective estrangement from the natural world. 

Jeffrey extends a simple invitation: join in the work of this moment of transformation. His solid ecopsychology and his quiet bravery will help you keep loving the world through hard times.
