Indigenous Ideas of Spirit and Transformation

  • Barlow Community Center 41 South Oviatt Street Hudson, OH, 44236 United States (map)

Jeanne A. Lacourt, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C., Ph.D. presents a rich interdisciplinary exploration of Indigenous cosmologies and Jungian thought.

This workshop will explore some of the complexities of working cross culturally. We will consider the role language and land play in informing psyche.

Participants will be introduced to the Menominee origin story and the important relationship Native people have with spirit beings.

We will discuss borderland consciousness as an evolution of consciousness and trans-species psyche as another way to view humans’ relationship with nature.

This program invites clinicians and seekers alike to consider how healing, consciousness, and relationship may be understood differently across traditions — and what these perspectives can teach us in a time of fragmentation and ecological crisis.

Dr. Lacourt is a Professor of American Indian Studies at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, a former faculty member of the Minnesota Seminar in Jungian Studies, an active member of the training committee for the Inter Regional Society of Jungian analysts and a Jungian Analyst in private practice. She has authored a book on traditional Indian Education, edited a book on racial issues in the United States, and her articles in Spring Journal focus on the intersections of Indigenous and Jungian Studies. She is most intrigued with the theme of human-animal transformation in Indigenous origin stories. Her home community is with the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.
