Ann Carroll, Ph.D., the beloved third contributor to The Red Book Podcast, returns to The Salome Institute with her unique approach to translation, this time using a multi-disciplinary point of view to arrive at new interpretations of four Taoist concepts: Fu (return), Su (simplicity), Wu Wei (action of no-action), and the overarching concept of spiritual longing.
In this two-part seminar, over two Sundays, each Taoist concept will undergo a “live translation,” as Ann uses images from art history, depth psychology, and several verses of the Tao Te Ching to better understand how these concepts are tied to the divine center of psyche: to the archetype of The Great Mother, and to what Jung called the ”inmost mystery of life.”
Ann’s unique methods of translation, from pictography to Joycean rendering, provide unique avenues to understanding, while simultaneously adding depth to otherwise elusive concepts, the meanings of which are difficult to express through English alone.
Ann’s teaching style combines life experience, group exercises, lectures, and discussions to leave participants with a felt sense of difficult concepts and the tools to apply the teachings to everyday life.
