Sex: The Flesh and
Blood of It
We tend to talk about sex
symbolically and spiritually in the Jungian community. These aspects
are, of course, invaluable components and worthy of discussion. But
what do we lose when we skirt around the nitty-gritty, the flesh and
blood of sex?
Jung repeatedly emphasized the role that sexuality plays in the
individuation process, claiming that a disturbed sexuality was at the
core of many complexes that hindered a person’s ability to
individuate or develop. He also recognized the difficulty of
addressing sexual phenomena because it often brings with it
forbidding moral dictates and challenging shadow material. However,
avoiding issues of sexuality means potentially missing the
opportunity to invite and deepen the vital energy it can bring.
In Friday night’s lecture, we will openly discuss the instinctual
aspects of sex to examine individual and collective attitudes toward
it, invite a deeper reflection of personal biases and experiences
with sex, and increase understanding of the potential role sexual
phenomena may play in individuation.
During Saturday’s workshop, we will use the myth of Eros and Psyche
to continue the focus on the expression and experience of sex: its
instinctual, animal nature; its desire for life as well as its
relation to death; its aggressive play of dominance and submission;
its confrontation with collective ideals or values; and its
insistence on a journey to the underworld and its conception and
birth of pleasure. Examples, film clips, participant experiences, and
group activities will help flesh out the vital significance sex has
in our lives.
