Two Saturday Lectures with Maggie Gwinn, M.F.T. (Part 1 of 2 Lectures)
“You see, ‘alcohol” in Latin is spiritus, and you use the same word for the highest religious experience as well for the most depraving poison. The helpful formula therefore is: spiritus contra spiritum.” -C. G Jung, Letter to Bill W., 1961.
Bill W., the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Carl Jung exchanged letters in 1961, and agreed that a religious experience was pivotal to achieving recovery from alcoholism. The first session of this presentation will discuss the importance of developing a relationship to that Higher Power elucidated in Twelve-Step Programs and in Jungian psychology in the form of the God Image or the Self. Discussion of Alcoholics Anonymous and its evolution will be interwoven with, and linked to, Jungian theoretical concepts, and include recordings and film clips of both Bill W. and Carl Jung. The second session will utilize the structure of a Twelve Step meeting to allow participants to experience “How it Works. ” In a stop-start progression through a meeting, attention will be paid to Jungian concepts as a foundational part of the structure of these programs. Again, film clips and recordings will amplify that material. In both sessions, there will be an emphasis on experiential sharing of one’s own encounters with the numinous in one’s Twelve-Step experience as well as one’s encounter with the numinous in other venues, such as Jungian Analysis, dreams, religion, or the arts.
