Did you miss the AMAZING Sunstone Symposium 2022?  No worries!  In this episode you'll catch at least one lecture!  Join Valerie as she shares her session formally called "The Jungian Shadow and Mormon History" where she will cover:

  1. 1.  The meaning of the Jungian Shadow
  2. How we all try to DENY our personal shadows in creative ways that estrange us from owning and integrating our shadow parts
  3. A case study in shadow integration:  King David self confronts with the help of the prophet Nathan
  4. A case study in shadow non-integration:  Joseph Smith Jr. does not self confront (in spite of Oliver's attempts to be his "Nathan")
  5. How this unresolved shadow continues to haunt us as an institution today in the form of deep struggles around the issues of sexuality, patriarchy, and hard power
  6. What we can do to help our institution heal from this collective shadow.
