Learn how to take responsibility in relationship to the Other for individual growth.

Relationships are key to our individuation process, but we need to understand the inner work required and the accountability we must accept in the process. It is an act of courage to recognize how we project onto the Other what we have not yet acknowledged as being within us. This audio course expands upon James Hollis’ in-depth study of what he calls ‘The Eden Project’.

Course Description

Write your awesome label here.
In his classic style, calling upon mythology, poetry, and personal story, James Hollis asks us to reflect on our relationships and the fantasies we unconsciously have about our Self and the Other. 

Early on, he points to the overarching challenge set before us: since we can never truly know our Self, we face an impossible task if we expect that we can ever truly know the Other. So, where does that leave us? And yet, at the same time, we long to connect.

In each of the six classes, he elaborates on the many ways we attempt to know and connect with the Other. Projection is a central tool in our arsenal, and with good reason. Once we experience something, we pack away the knowledge for future reference. Then, when something or someone appears to be the same, we call on our previous knowledge. It’s efficient for us to learn and apply what we’ve learned. 

However, what we project on the Other is not likely who they are and it means we have expectations of them that they can’t possibly comprehend or begin to meet. 

How we can begin to unpack the projection is our challenge. Hollis jokes that he disappoints those who covet romantic notions of relationship. But, what he leaves us with is something even greater: an understanding of how we can nurture a relationship with both the Other and our Self.
