Blue Fire (Hillman) Discussion Group

A couple of things coming up:

The Hillman / Soul of the Post-Jungians reading group meets next Saturday, February 14, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 noon. We’ll be starting Chapter 8.

As a group, we won’t formally complete Chapter 7. Since A Blue Fire is a compendium rather than a linear argument, it lends itself to being finished individually, at one’s own pace and leisure. We can trust (or at least provisionally trust) that Hillman’s characteristic redundancy means no one will have “missed” anything essential.

Looking a bit ahead, we’re holding two intentions simultaneously:

• to complete A Blue Fire sufficiently by our June meeting (our last gathering before the summer break), and

• to begin anticipating a follow-on book to start in October.

There is a separate forum thread where you are encouraged to post suggestions—as fierce, intentional, or provisional as you like—but only in the spirit of prompting, not deciding. Nothing is fixed. The only real preference at this point is to open more fully to feminine voices and testimony, having been with Hillman himself for nearly two years now.
