Zoom presentation - Senex and Puer: The old and the new within - with Jon Wilson
Jung (and Hillman) use the Latin terms, senex and puer for ‘old man’ and ‘youth’. They personify the poles of tradition, stasis, structure and authority on one side, and immediacy, wandering, invention and idealism on the other. The senex consolidates, grounds and disciplines, the puer flashes with insight and thrives on fantasy and creativity’. Jon Wilson explores the senex and puer within us and within our culture.
