Event
Veronica Goodchild, Ph.D.: Songlines of the Soul
C.G. Jung Society, Seattle presents:
Veronica Goodchild, PhD
Songlines of the Soul:
Pathways to a New Vision for a New Century
This offering is based on Veronica's new book. She will present an overview of the themes of her book, outlining the signatures of a new worldview. This new story focuses on the emergence of the subtle and imaginal realms coming back into prominence as spirit and matter reach out to each other to heal the fractures of a split that has led to a devaluation of the feminine, the repression of the shadow, and the degradation of our Earth. Beginning with synchronicity and the psyche-matter mysteries that lie at its heart, Veronica goes on to explore the collective synchronicities of UFO, Crop Circle, and Near-death Experiences. These signatures of a new worldview point to a psychophysical reality that Jung calls the unus mundus. They identify the resources of wisdom and the unfolding of an eros consciousness which arises with these extra-ordinary events. Such experiences balance our cultural focus on logos and symbolic thinking with direct experiences of an Other world.
In her lecture, Veronica will focus on synchronicities and their historical background; in the workshop, she will focus on collective examples of synchronicity, and include strategies for engagement with the subtle world, practices founded on ancient healing temple sanctuaries and shamanic traditions, European spa culture, walking as pilgrimage, and sacred site visits. In these practices we will try to listen in to how the Earth/psyche is speaking to us at this time of course correction on our planet, and what our vocation both individually and collectively might be at this time.

Presenter Bio:
Veronica Goodchild, PhD, has been a core faculty member at Pacifica Graduate Institute since 1999, and a Jungian psychotherapist for over 30 years. She is an elected Affiliate Member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts. She teaches courses in the Clinical Psychology, Depth Psychotherapy, and Depth Psychology/Somatics Departments, on Jungian Psychotherapy, Alchemy, Imaginal Psychology, The Grail Myth, Psyche and the Sacred, and Soulful Research. She has lectured and given workshops on these themes both in America, South Africa, and in Europe. She has also written book chapters and journal articles in these areas. Her first book, Eros and Chaos: The Sacred Mysteries and Dark Shadows of Love, was published in 2001 by Nicolas-Hays, and republished in 2008. Her most recent book, published by Nicolas-Hays in October 2012 is titled: Songlines of the Soul: Pathways to a New Vision for a New Century. This book outlines the features and signatures of a new emerging myth that unites psyche and matter and brings the subtle body and imaginal worlds into prominence. The book also explores the mystical cities of the soul re-visioning healing beyond individuation by recovering ancient incubation practices based on the Asklepeia, water/spa cures, and ancient site visits. This past summer, Veronica continued to explore the shamanic origins of Jung's work, visiting prehistoric cave art in the Dordogne, sites sacred to the Black Madonna and Mary Magdalene in Provence, and goddess temples in Malta. She walked part of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in the Haute Loire and Aubrac regions of France. These experiences continued to confirm for her how the embodiment of the signatures of the new worldview continues to be challenging and central.
