Pacifica Graduate Institute

Subject:

Description:

When Jung realized that the ancient practice of alchemy contained a rich symbolic language which mirrored the process of transformation inherent to individuation, he called it "a momentous discovery." This course explores alchemical symbolism and processes, including nigredo, separatio, mortificatio, and dissolutio, looking for their manifestations in our personal and cultural lives. As Rumi once said, "The alchemy of a changing life is the only truth."
