11 Jan 2025: Jason Wright

Blake’s Illustrations for the Book of Job: A Healing Journey with Jason Wright

Blake’s experience is as relevant today as when he first articulated it, during the white heat of the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. In my recently published book, I have used Blake’s Illustrations of the Book of Job to frame psychological and spiritual change and to articulate, particularly, our Western experience. I am wont to say Job is the story of our time, and addiction the symptom. In this event we will explore Blake’s work together in the context of psychic and spiritual wholeness and healing, and the sense of community this work offers us at a time of change.

Jason Wright is a transpersonal and psychoanalytic psychotherapist. For twelve years, he was Clinical Director and CEO for the CORE Trust holistic addictions charity, as well as a manager and director in theatres. He has since founded Number 42, a group psychotherapy practice in Central London, UK. He has been a Member of the Blake Society for the last six years and has used this work in his practice for the past thirty.

Jason is the author of an extraordinary book about his engagement with Blake:

General information

Since the early eighties, the C.G. Jung Public Lectures have played an important part in establishing and maintaining Bristol's reputation as an acknowledged centre of interest in Depth Psychology.

The monthly lectures are on current issues and topics broadly related to the field of analytical psychology and are given by a variety of professional and established speakers. They are open to everybody with an interest in depth psychology, the therapies, philosophy, religion, mythology, life and the arts.

The aim is to provide a friendly, informal space for Jung's ideas and philosophy to reach a wider public. There is time for refreshment, socialising, and networking after the lecture followed by participative discussion with the speaker in the round.

 


A reduced-price bookstall is sometimes provided by Bookmark, Bristol. Their website includes a good selection
of Jungian and Analytical Psychology titles (also at reduced prices)!
