How often do you discuss “spirituality” at home, or at work? How often does “typology” come up? Chances are, no two of us would answer those questions the same way, nor have a ready definition of the two concepts. BAAPT has 30+ years of presentations on typology and hardly any on spirituality, yet the two have been interwoven since Jung’s first publications. Here’s your chance to relate a variety of spiritual experiences to your knowledge of typology.
We’ll begin by defining spirituality for ourselves. Then Rachel and Mark - with the help of facilitators at each table - will lead our exploration.
- Rachel and Mark will share traditional descriptions of the spiritual life and typology, including which type preferences are reflected in various spiritual practices and images.
- We will discuss our own experiences with spirituality or soul work in small groups (and later in the total group), sharing our insights about connections between spirituality and type preferences.
- We will consider familiar images of the divine as well as culturally unfamiliar forms.
- During brief intervals, Rachel and Mark will delve into geographic expressions of the spiritual life influencing those of us living in the San Francisco Bay Area, while considering Science and Consciousness as well as Type as eco-critical.
This program is intended for intermediate and advanced type learners, but new type enthusiasts are always welcome.
For those interested in type and religious experience, Rachel and Mark recommend the following:
- Soul Types, by Sandra Hirsh and Jane A. G. Kise (2006), Augusburg Books
- Pathways to Integrity, Ethics and Psychological Type, by Blake Burleson (2001) APT Inc.
