When we held our
first writing contest in 2010, we were astounded by the results,
as were those who attended our 2011 conference, Jung in the
Heartland: Portals to the Sacred II, where winning entries were
read and performed in person. We received so many high quality
entries from talented authors that we knew another contest in
conjunction with our 2013 conference must be a high priority. |
Winning entries from the last contest were also published in our
book,
Portals to the Sacred from a Jungian Perspective, which is
available for purchase.
One reader
shared the following experience:
"I was visiting with A
this evening and we were reading from the "Portals to the
Sacred" collection of essays…and I was struck once again by the
poignancy and deep reflections which they contain… And after
reading these essays, I was struck by another feeling: a feeling
of being a part of this beautiful tradition, this way of looking
at and experiencing the world in a thoughtful and analytical
way, but also with wide wonder and mystery- i.e. this ‘Jungian’
tradition."
In preparation for our upcoming 2013
conference, we are pleased and excited to invite submissions of
essays or creative non-fiction on the theme of the conference:
