Ecstatic Transformation: Activating the Archetype of Radical Joy

This Jungian Life Podcast

What does it mean to depose the ego and encounter the dismantling joy of the Self?

Ecstatic transformation challenges our understanding of ourselves and breaks the boundaries of ordinary experience, leaving us questioning a lifetime of assumptions. It shatters our ego’s illusions of separation, shifting the foundation of our identity. It is the greater solutio where our ego and Self come face to face. This psycho-spiritual process is symbolized in the Dionysiac archetypal themes of death and rebirth through ecstatic states that transcend the rational, intensify emotion, and connect us to something greater. Through myths, dreams, rituals, and neurobiological insights, we encounter the dynamic interplay between dissolution and reformation, creation and destruction, and individuality and unity. This episode offers a framework for understanding how shattering joy, vulnerability, and the unconscious reshape psyche.

Prepare to discover what it takes to break free from the limits of who you think you are,  how moments of ecstasy can transform your life by revealing deeper truths about yourself,  which universal patterns shape our experiences of joy and renewal, whether intense experiences of ecstasy lead to lasting growth or temporary relief, why letting go of control is essential for discovering the fullness of your being…and so much more.
