Participant-led Open Discussion

The 2016 Presidential Election and the American Shadow

This session will be a participant-led open and interactive discussion of the 2016 election. We will attempt to answer the question: Where do we go from here? The 2016 election showcases the deepening fissures in American society. How can we as women be beacons of stability during these times? Expect a lively discussion where we turn to our memories of past elections and draw on our varied backgrounds and life experience.

With reference to the shadow, Jung wrote "if you imagine someone who is brave enough to withdraw all these projections, then you get an individual who is conscious of a considerable shadow. . . . Such a man knows that whatever is wrong in the world is in himself and if he only learns how to deal with his own shadow he has done something real for the world. He has succeeded in shouldering at least an infinitesimal part of the gigantic, unsolved social problems of our day (The Psychology of CG Jung, p. 114).
