Meeting the Shadow on the Spiritual Path | Connie Zweig, Ph. D.

In every tradition, saints and poets speak of the soul’s search for the beloved, the seeker’s yearning for the divine, for the Self beyond ego. This holy longing leads us to pursue a higher union in spiritual practice, religious discipleship, even romantic embrace. But it also can go awry when we project the divine onto a teacher, priest, guru, rabbi, or roshi who is all too human— and who has a shadow. If a leader abuses power—sexual, financial, or emotional coercion—we feel betrayed and disillusioned, our faith destroyed. This lecture offers the tools of depth psychology and spiritual shadow-work to help us recover and rekindle the light of spiritual inspiration and renew your connection to something larger than ego. This program is based on Professor's Zweig's new book, "Meeting the Shadow on the Spiritual Path: The Dance of Darkness and Light in Our Search for Awakening."
