TONIGHT'S FEATURE: Pan's Labyrinth: The Creative Resilience of the Psyche
Lecture by Diana Heritage, LCSW, Jungian analyst

The human psyche responds to trauma in a multitude of ways.

Pan's Labyrinth, the award-winning film by Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, is set during the Spanish Civil War in 1944. It depicts the richly imaginative response of a young girl to the violence that surrounds her.

In this film we see the psyche's resources for survival. We are also introduced to the archetypal realm, from which all of our symbols originate and from which one can draw courage and hope in the face of an outer reality that offers little more than pain.
