For so many of us, 9/11/01 was an iconic moment in our lives that shifted our very perception of reality. On the threshold of its 20th anniversary, we invite you to join us in community for a time of remembrance and prayer and of invoking the soul’s wisdom to deepen our healing and gain insight we can apply to the crises confronting us today.
We will explore the events of 9/11 using the imagery of the Tarot, specifically the card called the Lightning-Struck Tower and its adjacent cards on either side, the Devil and the Star. Through guided reflection, meditative writing, and sharing in community, we will explore our personal resonances to these archetypal themes and their progressive arc, and how they might help us better navigate the current iconic moment of global pandemic and climate catastrophe.
Join us.
Facilitators:
Rev. Dr. Sushmita Mukherjee
Rev. Dr. Sushmita Mukherjee is an ordained interspiritual minister, spiritual counselor and a Dean at the Seminary Program at One Spirit. Trained as a biophysicist and cell biologist in India and in the United States, she works as an Associate Professor of Research at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York City. Her scientific work focuses on high-resolution microscopy and image analysis, and their applications in cutting edge biomedical research. She is thus very finely attuned to the nuances of images, and the stories images can tell. Sushmita’s soul-work is that of psychospiritual alchemy, carried out within a Jungian/Archetypal vessel. This Work is deeply influenced by the teachings of Carl Jung, James Hillman and Joseph Campbell. Sushmita sees images that arise from the depths of our souls (in the form of dreams, fantasies, impulses and ideas), as carriers of potent symbols that can transcend apparent dualities. Images, for her, are living psychic entities which have the power to reweave the torn fabric of our souls, thus bringing about a profound wholeness. Sushmita loves to write, to visualize, to teach and to create art that lives at the interface of Science and Soul.
