NEW! BOOK CLUB!!
As a companion to our lecture, The C.G. Jung Society of Sarasota is launching a book club and our first book is Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life, by Joanna Ebenstein, an usually “alive” book. At the close of each chapter, readers are invited into reflective activities that promise rich illuminating conversation. Death after all is one of the great teachers and Jung knew this better than most! Join us as we turn toward it together with curiosity and courage! This book club will be led by our very own Dori Zingmond! Dates and times to follow.
