Host Michael Taft talks with “Boss Jungian of Planet Earth” Stephen Aizenstat about diving into the depths of our authentic creativity, finding purpose within the imaginal, engaging “an imagination that opens from the within out,” the perils and promise of AI with reference to the human imagination, and asks the query: is working with the imagination simply a narcissistic bourgeois indulgence on this time of unprecedented worldwide existential peril, or might the imaginal actually be a source of our salvation?
Stephen Aizenstat, Ph.D., is the founding father of Pacifica Graduate Institute, and the Academy of Imaginal Arts and Sciences. He’s a world renowned Professor of Depth Psychology, an imagination specialist and has collaborated with many notable masters in the sector of depth psychology including Joseph Campbell, James Hillman, Marion Woodman, and Robert Johnson.
