COURSE
This program WILL BE recorded. More information on recordings below. If your schedule does not allow you to attend the workshop, you can still reserve a ticket and a recording will be emailed out to you to watch at your convenience!

Zoom Links will be in your confirmation email.
If you decide to register for this program after the first session, we will not be able to give you a discount due to lateness in the program.
Poets observe, reflect, write, reflect, and write again, and in so doing they ask us to stop and reflect a bit more than we might otherwise. The poets we’ll read in this course range from Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson to Sharon Olds and Stephen Dunn. Loosely arranged around the topics of Desire, Troubled Times, Discoveries, and Speculations, these poems will stir in you questions, provocations, and openings to your own depths.
The texts for discussion will be provided upon registration for the course. They can be found in your confirmation email
Dr. James Hollis, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst and the author of 18 books, the latest of which is Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times.
Dr. Hollis was born in Springfield, Illinois, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Manchester University in 1962 and with a doctorate from Drew University in 1967. He taught Humanities for 26 years in various colleges and universities before retraining as a Jungian analyst at the Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland (1977–82). He served as Executive Director of the Jung Educational Center in Houston, Texas, for many years, was Executive Director of the Jung Society of Washington until 2019, and now serves on their Board of Directors.
He is a retired Senior Training Analyst for the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, was first Director of Training of the Philadelphia Jung Institute, and is Vice President Emeritus of the Philemon Foundation. Additionally, he is a Professor of Jungian Studies for Saybrook University of San Francisco/Houston.

His books have been translated into Swedish, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Korean, Finnish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Farsi, Japanese, Greek, Chinese, Serbian, and Czech.
Well respected and beloved by those who know him, have studied with him, and have read his books, Dr. Hollis has been generous in sharing his wisdom through the years.
We get through hard times by going through them, as all those before us learned along the same road. Why should we think our path should be easier than theirs?
James Hollis, Living Between Worlds
