"Time and Trauma the Wisdom of Andean Shamanism"
(by Zoom from Portugal !) With Dr Deborah Bryon

at MacKillop House, 50 Archibald St, Lyneham, ACT (and by Zoom)

This presentation will weave together interpersonal and Jungian analytic perspectives, informed by indigenous Andean shamanism, and contemporary scientific understanding of time in an exploration of a more expansive, vision of the world. It will provide different perspectives on experiences central to contemporary depth psychology – i.e., the subjective experience of time and trauma.
