The Jung Society of Utah presents\:
October 8 (Friday) - free event - Facing Fate\, Finding A Destiny
Renown Storyteller and Mythologist\, Michael Meade\, in Salt Lake City!
According to ancient myths\, each soul makes two agreements upon entering the world. The first agreement binds the individual to a distinct destiny. The second agreement entangles each person in the limitations of fate and responsibilities. While all second agreements can be renegotiated\, the first agreement is non-negotiable. If a person doesn’t face their fate\, they may never find their natural gifts. If a person doesn’t risk their destiny\, they’ll never know who they are intended to be. Join us for an exploration of identity\, meaning\, purpose and passion.
NEW LOCATION\: We host this event at the Jewish Community Center (2 North Medical Drive\, Salt Lake City).

In this rare opportunity workshop\, we will examine the life lived so far and separate the self ’s vital story and creative calling from the corpse of the past and the darkness of the present. We will tend to places where the soul carries its initiations and where the deep self tries to awaken us to the sacred path of knowledge and love hidden within our lives.
This workshop will benefit those involved in dream work\, creative work\, community building\, therapy\, mentoring\, teaching\, healing\, spiritual development\, ecological and social activism. All mental health professionals are eligible to receive six CEUs.
