Bernstein Groups

“No wonder the Western world feels uneasy, for it does not know how much it has lost through the destruction of its numinosities…Its moral and spiritual tradition has collapsed and left the worldwide disorientation and dissociation… Nothing is holy any longer. Through scientific understanding our world has become dehumanised ...”

Carl Jung, 1960

I feel passionate about bringing non-rational experiences out of the shadow.  With the dominance of science we have neglected many of our non-rational experiences and have either not noticed them, paid them little attention or kept them under wraps unless anyone should think us ‘mad’.

I am currently setting up groups to explore these experiences, to validate and encourage them to be spoken about so that they can become normalised.  By considering non-rational events we come to a different way of being - we are invited to engage with the inter-connectedness of a vibrant living universe where not all of our lived experiences need to be explained or understood and can just be really known and integrated.

“What is needed now . . . is to find a way to restore a sense of the sacred to science and to the world – to embody mind and to “enmind” matter. Getting there will involve a radical approach to studying consciousness, where the researcher (scientist or philosopher) may be profoundly changed in the process of exploring his or her own consciousness.”

Christian de Quincey
