LITERATURE + LECTURES

The Jung Center of Houston presents Great Conversations: What Matters Most , Wednesday, September 29.  This special evening benefiting The Jung Center features James Hollis and J. Pittman McGehee exploring what it means to live a fulfilling life.

Why are we here? What is the meaning of our existence? Where did I lose the trail? Can I find my way back? If we do not engage in dialogue with these questions that emerge from our depths, then we will live an unconscious, unreflective, accidental life. Beginning with these insistent questions, two of Houston’s most thoughtful teachers explore a fresh concept of a fulfilling life–one that embraces growth over security, engagement versus avoidance, and a recognition that the forces in our lives, far from being accidental, are the heat, the cold, the pressure that temper us into a looking glass through which we can see into the heart of what matters…what really matters.

James Hollis, PhD, is a Jungian analyst, author of more than a dozen books, and director emeritus of The Jung Center. He is Director of Jungian Studies at Saybrook Graduate School in San Francisco and lectures internationally on depth psychology.
