Romance. Partnership. Nothing seems to preoccupy us more than the desire for relationships. Is it time you had a closer look at what is, or is not, working in your personal life? In his lecture in Calgary on September 9, 2011 renowned Jungian Analyst and author James Hollis, PhD will explore the extremes of relationship, from delight to disillusionment, and the power dynamics invariably at play between ourselves and those closest to us. Is the best relationship that we can achieve with our intimate "Other" a function of the relationship we achieve within ourselves? What is our hidden agenda in the search for a "Magical Other"? What creates our relationships, our yearnings, our catastrophic repetitions? What is the difference between being in love and loving? Dr. James Hollis will explore these open-ended questions in a lecture and seminar series at the Rosza Centre of the University of Calgary, hosted by the Calgary Jung Society. The challenge of examining our deepest relationships will ask more of us than we wish to give. But it is just such a risk that may bare a gift of bringing us to a new experience of love. ---- James Hollis, PhD is a Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst in private practice in Houston, Texas. He has written thirteen books, including The Eden Project: In Search of the Magical Other, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life and What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life.
