Personal narratives of disconnection from and reconnection to Jewish collective memory are illuminated by millennia of Jewish mystical wisdom, contemporary Jewish Renewal and feminist theology, and Jungian and trauma theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The archetypal resonance of the Exodus story guides our exploration. Understanding exile as disconnection from the Divine Self, we follow Moses, keeper of the spiritual fire, and Serach bat Asher, preserver of ancestral memory. We encounter the depths with Joseph, touch collective grief with Lilith, experience the Red Sea crossing and Miriam\u2019s well as psychological rebirth and Sinai as the repatterning of traumatized consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tracing the reawakening of the qualities of eros and relatedness on the journey out of exile, the book demonstrates how restoring and deepening relationship with the Sacred Feminine helps us to transform collective trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This text will be key reading for scholars of Jewish studies, Jungian and post-Jungian studies, feminist spirituality, trauma studies, Jungian analysts and psychotherapists, and those interested in healing from personal and collective trauma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Third Thursday Book Club The Mystical Exodus in Jungian PerspectiveTransforming Trauma and the Wellsprings of Renewal by Shoshana Fershtman Meeting on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 1:30PM PST The Mystical Exodus in Jungian Perspective explores the soul loss that results from personal, collective, and transgenerational trauma and the healing that unfolds through reconnection [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":41,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-348","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/348\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1717,"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/348\/revisions\/1717"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquarianminyan.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
