Presented by Renee M. Cunningham, M.F.T.
The program will focus on the March from Selma to Montgomery and the development of culture through the implementation of the eightfold path of nonviolence (Gandhi’s concepts of Satyagraha and Ahimsa and King’s six tenets). The concepts of individuation, the ego/Self Axis, the cultural unconscious and cultural complex will be demonstrated and amplified as key components of development within the individual and culture.
Course Objectives:
1. Describe what is meant by a complex and how it develops in response to trauma.
2. Describe what is meant by a cultural complex, give an example of how a cultural complex is formed, and how it can be repaired.
