Archetypal Astrology: The Spiritual Dimension
Dr. Keiron Le Grice
Winter 2025
Navigating a spiritually informed way through life in the modern secular age can be bewilderingly confusing. Archetypal astrology offers a pluralistic perspective and cosmological framework to help us map and better understand the varieties of religious experience that we might encounter—such as epiphanies and spiritual awakenings, Dionysian intoxication and Devil possession, existential estrangement and disillusionment, synchronicities and paranormal phenomena, and underworld labors and alchemical transformations. Through an exploration of a range of archetypal themes, as manifest in the lives and work of prominent individuals, this course shows how we can use astrology as a form of orientation and guidance for our own spiritual paths, and as aid to the process of realization that C. G. Jung called individuation.
James Hillman & Archetypal Psychology —The Return of the Gods
Dr. Glen Slater
Winter 2025
James Hillman was a prominent post-Jungian thinker and writer who founded the depth psychological approach known as Archetypal Psychology. He built on Jung’s understanding of the archetypal background of the psyche and took the mythic imagination to be the primary means by which we may access this background. This made him, in many respects, the world’s most mythological psychologist.
