With a focus on the big questions of the human condition – cycles of birth and death, destiny and free will, suffering and the life journey - Maureen weaves her way through ancient rituals in honour of the earth mother and Goddesses with many names, to the rise of the patriarchal era, including the Greek tragedian plays. These plays incorporated the sacred mysteries and fundamental questions, now focused on individual man. The significance of ritual in attending to and supporting our inner struggles toward Selfhood is captured in her discussion of Jung’s essay Transformation Symbolism in the Mass.
Please note, Maureen does refer to a number of images in the talk, examples of these or similar can be found on the internet.
