The quest for the pure, the unblemished, the ideal, leads us to aspire, and dream and create. It also leads us to deny and betray. More than two thousand years ago, the Greeks expressed their own version of this dilemma in the great myth of Demeter and Persephone. As in the myth, our lives are an individuation process that can be blocked in innocence, caught in the darkness, or lived fully in a cycle of light and shadow.
Through presentation and discussion, Jan Bauer will help us understand the story of a kidnapped daughter, a furious mother, and a seductive lover…and show us how emotions such as anger, loss, love and hope exist in all of us as well. |
