    Howling with depth psychologist and writer Elizabeth Nelson about myths of warrior women allies, bawdy crones, the healing power of humour and embodied sensuality.
    “As homo faber, human beings are makers of many things—including the stories, poetry, songs, and images that comprise the great goddess tradition. We have a material record of Her presence for millennia, despite toxic patriarchy. We are also homo faber in our embodied actions that leave no material trace yet influence critical moments in someone’s story. Two fascinating goddesses—Inanna and Demeter—owe their being to the actions of a supposedly small or minor character, which only goes to show: there are no small parts, only small actors. This presentation explores two goddess makers: the warrior ally Ninshuber, who performed a pivotal role in Inanna’s release from the Sumerian underworld, and the crone/midwife/trickster Baubo, whose lascivious dance punctured Demeter’s paralyzing despair.”
    — Elizabeth Nelson, Warrior Allies & Bawdy Crones

    Howling with Jungian Analyst and writer Vladislav (Vlado) Šolc about the book he co-authored with George Didier, Dark Religion: Fundamentalism From The Perspective of Jungian Psychology
    “Jungian analysts Vlado Šolc and George Didier set out to explore the psychological dynamics and causes of religious fundamentalism and fanaticism. The book offers an in-depth-psychological analysis of what happens when a person becomes possessed by the unconscious energies of the Self.  The book also reveals that spirituality is an inherent dimension and one of the most essential human needs. It only becomes “dark” when it ignores, or separates itself from its own vital roots.”

    Howling with writer and teacher Tom Cheetham about Henry Corbin, Carl Jung, imagination and discovering your own psycho-cosmology
    “Languages and cultures are complex and interpenetrating systems of ideas and behaviors that give structure to our daily lives. Most of the time we pay little or no attention to these structures of ideas, behavior and experience. When we do, it is often because we discover that somewhere else “they” do things differently. They speak funny. They have weird ideas. They think foolish things. If we are alert, and lucky, we may then wonder why “we” think what we do, why we do the things we do. And in that moment we can see the glimmer of our freedom. There are other ways to be human!”
