The Comox Valley C.G. Jung Society will present a lecture on Mid-life Transitions by Jungian analyst John Betts.
It happens Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. at North Island College.
Mid-life transitions or crises are difficult and potentially destructive experiences. Sometimes, at mid-life, we may feel discomfort about whether our life is truly meaningful. Sometimes, we may experience a major depression, or other major crisis in our life.
We may think of these times as being swallowed into the belly of the whale. How do we end up in this situation, and what can we do to prevent it? More critically, how can we get out of the whale’s belly?
The healthy outcome of the mid-life transition is greater self-awareness and connection with the totality of our psyche. This lecture will provide concrete steps that we may take to deal with mid-life transitions.
Betts is a Zürich-trained Jungian analyst practising in Victoria. He has produced Jung podcasts at www.jungian.ca. He is particularly interested in the issue of mid-life transition and how we all navigate through this process.
The presentation will be at 7 p.m. in Room 203 of the Tyee Building of North Island College in Courtenay. To ensure a spot, e-mail the CV Jung Society at cvjungsociety@gmail.com.
