GATHER UP YOUR BROKENNESS: LOVE, IMPERFECTION, AND HUMAN IDEALS

December 9, 2016

In the poetic tradition of Zen monk and bard Leonard Cohen, this presentation celebrates our brokenness. Often, we hear about grieving our mistakes, failures, losses and imperfections, but rarely do we learn how to mine them for their richness. Because human beings are naturally broken – with personalities that are largely unconscious, reactive and hard to manage – we have countless opportunities in our relationships and work to see our selves in the crack of the mirror. This presentation draws on Carl Jung's psychology of individuation and on the Buddha's teachings on awakening to offer a new vision of imperfection with its inherent openings to compassion and love.
