Thursday, October 5

1 to 3 p.m.

Just as Freudian and Jungian psychologies have enriched our understanding of the arts, the psychedelic-based psychology of Stanislav Grof adds another. This talk will show how to use Grof’s view of our minds as an additional kind of psychocriticism.

Convener: Tom Roberts has led several LLI groups over the years. Starting in 1981, he taught the world’s first university based psychedelic course, predominately in Northern’s Honors Program. Related books include those on psychedelic medicine, spirituality, policy, and education. His most recent book MindApps, presents psychedelic contributions to the humanities, including a chapter on Grof.

This session will meet in HSC Illinois Room.
