This episode dives into the profound intersections of Jungian psychology, ecotherapy, social media’s impact on mental health, and the symbolic power of nature. Rob Faure Walker, author of the new book, “Radical Jung” shares his insights on how reconnecting with nature and understanding our collective shadows can foster healing and resilience in today's complex world.Main topics covered:
- The role of ecotherapy in mental health
- Jungian archetypes and the significance of the collective shadow
- How social media and the attention economy colonize our minds
- The mythological and symbolic nature of grief and grief practices
- The potential of psychedelics and their integration through Jungian models
- Environmental crises and the collective psyche’s response
- Practical steps to reconnect with nature and reframe our perceptions
Rob Faure Walker is an ecotherapist and author. He has previously worked as a teacher in schools in North and East London and as an academic at University College London and SOAS University of London, where he founded systems to help academics to provide the UK Parliament with research based evidence to support law making. His previous books have explored western governments’ misguided promotion of counter-extremism strategies and how to find loving transcendence while being forced to live in a transactional market economy. His forthcoming book, Radical Jung, is out in late May and explores healing through Gnostic introspection so that we can act better in the world.
