Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon

The C.G. Jung Foundation Summer Study Program 2021

Mystical Themes in the Francis of Assisi's Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon

A daylong Zoom seminar

Wednesday, July 14, 2021, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Instructor:  Brother Damien Joseph, SSF

Francis of Assisi is familiar for his love of animals, embrace of the poor and founding of the Franciscan community.  These archetypal themes have been projected into our consciousness and embraced by our society.  Among his accomplishments is the first known example of poetry in modern vernacular Italian, the Canticle of the Creatures, or more popularly the Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon.

This seminar will focus on the deeply radical life and thought of "Il Poverello," the Little Poor Man of Assisi, as well as on the mystical themes of the Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon.  We will explore his mystical engagement with the divine which resulted in his approach to spirituality.

This online seminar offers 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.

Tuition:  $150 for this seminar.

Summer Study is a 5-day intensive program.  5 day full-week registration is $650.
