Dr. Julie Sgarzi: Eros at Your Table
A San Diego Friends of Jung Lecture by Dr. Julie Sgarzi, Ph.D., speaking on Eros at Your Table. Dr Sgarzi holds a doctorate in depth psychology and lectures and writes on contemporary issues from a Jungian and depth-psychological perspective. The myth of Philemon and Baucis will serve as a grounding thread for the evening, as we discuss the alchemy that exists in preparing and sharing a meal with friends, family or even strangers. We will explore how imagination, generosity, and ambience combine to transform ordinary moments into rich, sensuous opportunities to feast with the gods, when inspired by the presence of Eros and Psyche. Welcome Eros, the god of relationship and life-spirit, into your home as an invisible yet inspiring guest. During this time together, we will explore the “erotic” archetype as embodied in the divine Eros, when all the senses are fully integrated and awakened in service to the intentional cultivation of hospitality, relationship, and a celebration of beauty.
