Cinderella, the Tao, and Ecopsychology

In 2 hours and 10 minutes I present the “secret sauce” of what James Hollis likes to call “Old Zurich” Jungian psychology. We formed study groups to practice interpreting fairytales so we could pass the 6-hour final examine at the original Jung institute in Zurich interpreting a fairytale we had not seen before: that is how we learned to work archetypically and symbolically with dreams and cultural phenomena like films. I illustrate the process with an in-depth analysis of the Grimm’s version of Cinderella, one of the most important fairytales on the planet because it deals with powerful universal themes—love, abandonment, narcissism, and despair.

The total program includes a long Q & A and lasts for 3 hours 11 minutes.
