A Jungian Encounter with the Erotic Soul of India – From Sexuality to Spirituality February 2020
February 15, 2020 - February 26, 2020
JUNGIAN ENCOUNTER WITH THE EROTIC SOUL OF INDIA
FROM SEXUALITY TO SPIRITUALITY
FEBRUARY 15-26, 2020
With Guest Lecturer – Ashok Bedi M.D.
Join us in the upcoming encounter with the Soul of India this coming winter. We begin
our journey in the capital New Delhi. From there we continue to explore the erotic temples of Khajuraho and, the Eros of human civilization in the visit to Taj Mahal. We experience an evening and morning boat ride in Varanasi, the holiest site for Hindus and the oldest continuous living city in the world. At Chambal Safari Lodge we conclude our journey with a three-day Jungian retreat and reflect on our experiences.
Together, we will explore the mysteries of the erotic soul of India embodied in Taj Mahal, hajuraho and Varanasi. We will delve into the mystery of Kamasutra and its Tantric prescription from sexuality to spirituality incarnate in stone in Taj Mahal and Khajuraho and in the Tantric tradition of Shiva and Shakti at Varanasi. The Tantric and Erotic traditions of India consider the human and sexual relationship as a prototype for the Mystical union with the Divine– the Unio Mystica. These issues will be explored on the sacred ground of the birth of these ideas from an Eastern and Jungian perspectives. Participants may find correlation between these concepts and their own life an interesting illumination. It may be fascinating to explore your reflections with your peers and participants from different countries during our tour with the backdrop of the dreamlike world
of India.
