Learn about our relationship with food and the sacred connection to nature.

Jungian Analyst Dariane Pictet explores the relationship with food, our body and nature. To be connected to the Soul means that we’re in a good relationship with nature and that also means our own nature and our bodies.

In this short course, the myth of Demeter is reviewed from a Jungian perspective. What can we learn from it, and what does it reveal about healing our relationship to nature?

Course Description

Write your awesome label here.
In this short course, Jungian Analyst Dariane Pictet reviews how the Homeric myth of Demeter can help us make sense of the current attitudes to food, our body and to Nature. 

Nowadays, most of us have a unique relationship to what we do and do not eat. Food has become increasingly an area of concern, not only with allergies, but also with food disorders. What does our relationship to food reveal about our connection to the world around us, to nature and to the sacred?  

To find answers, we can learn from myths. Myths describe how we can relate to the inner and the outer worlds. They are pointing to one single reality: What is inside is also in the world, how we relate to one is disclosed in the other. 

In these two lectures Dariane Pictet reviews the myth of Persephone and Demeter, and the separation between them. We can see a comparable split in our lives today between nature and ourselves. It raises the question how we can individuate given this separation.

The Demeter myth contains clues on how we could resolve this separation. We need to descend into the underworld, into the world of Soul. This means that we go into the unknown and leave the things we know behind. We are currently at a threshold, through which we can pass with changed values and perspectives. We need to regain access to the natural mind that acts through relatedness.

In this compact course, Dariane encourages us to reflect on the systems that are harmful to nature. Will we continue our self-destructive ways, or can we become more conscious? This is an important question of our time. 

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Learn how a myth can help us in finding our own path in life.
  • Gain an understanding of how the myth of Demeter can help us individuate in times when we are separated from nature.
  • Identify the aspects in your relationship to food, body and nature that mirror the myth of Demeter.
