POSTPONED FROM JANUARY 24 TO APRIL 24 DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER: Waking Up and Cleaning Up - Our Spiritual Development and the Role of our Shadow Self
2026-04-18 09:30 - 12:30 | First Community, 1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43212
POSTPONED FROM JANUARY 24 TO APRIL 18
First Community’s Spiritual Life & Learning Center has invited us to be a part of their Contemplative Series. Hope you can join Seth Stearns from FC and Catherine Ballard from JACO as they explore Ken Wilber’s model of spiritual development and the interplay with Jungian thought.
In Wilber’s model of spiritual development (Waking Up) we also look at why facing our shadow self is so important to our spiritual development (Cleaning Up). We are excited to be partnering with the Jung Association of Central Ohio for this Contemplative Series event.
We will have refreshments, but please feel free to bring your preferred snack and covered beverage. A notebook, pen, inquiring mind and open heart are also encouraged.
This is a part of our Contemplative Series at SLLC, developed around The Tree of Contemplative Practices. Each month we will meet to discuss and ponder each branch. And each month will be a different experience as we explore different ways of developing our individual spirituality more deeply. We invite you to join us for the entire series, or individual events as your schedule allows.

BOOK CLUB: Man & His Symbols, The Process of Individuation
2026-04-26 16:00 - 17:30
Starting April 26, 2026 (and every 2 weeks thereafter until done)

4:00 pm – 5:30 pm

By Zoom only
We will begin our journey of “The Process of Individuation,” Chapter 3 of Jung’s Book “Man & His Symbols.” There is much to ponder in this chapter and so we will have several “leaders” to take us through Dr. Marie Louise von Franz’s Path to Individuation.
As stated in the Introduction of the book, “Dr. Franz … describes the process by which the conscious and the unconscious within an individual learn to know, respect, and accommodate one another. In a certain sense, this chapter contains not only the crux of the whole book, but perhaps the essence of Jung’s philosophy of life. Man becomes whole, integrated, calm, fertile, and happy when (and only when) the process of individuation is complete, when the conscious and the unconscious have learned to live at peace and to complement one another.” Man & His Symbols, p.14.
Book Club is always free but you need to register so that we can send you the link. Please scroll below to register (RSVP).
