In honor of Valentine’s Day the Jung Society of Utah and Pacifica Graduate Institute present a unique and passionate event about love.

No other human emotion surpasses love as the source of great destruction as well as the most notable achievements. Drawing on some of C.G. Jung’s ideas about love and desire, Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery will discuss passages from one of the most celebrated poems about the dynamics of love: Dante Alighieri’s 14th century poem The Divine Comedy. This poem explores the force of love that has direct relevance and presence for us today, as we witness the love for power, persons, and possessions underlying events on the evening news. Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery is a brilliant scholar, a dynamic teacher, a poet and an author of numerous publications relevant to depth psychology. After earning his Ph.D. at the Dallas University, he has accumulated 41 years of teaching, the last 16 at Pacifica Graduate Institute, the premier university for depth psychology in North America.

All mental health professionals are eligible to receive ONE COMPLIMENTARY CEU.

This is a free event.

February’s event is co-sponsored by Pacifica Graduate Institute, which is the premier university for depth psychology in North America. It is an accredited graduate school that offers masters and doctoral degree programs as well as public events in the fields of Psychology, Mythological Studies and Humanities. Pacifica is dedicated to cultivating and harvesting the gifts of the human imagination so that these insights may be brought to bear upon the personal, cultural, and planetary concerns of our era. This dedication is contained in the school’s motto: animae mundi colendae gratia (for the sake of tending soul in and of the world).
