Linda Schierse Leonard, Ph.D. Jungian Analyst

” AT 75 ” On her 75th birthday Linda Leonard reflects on challenges and discoveries at this stage of life.

Friday Evening Lecture: October 12, 2012  –  7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

“The Boulder Friends of Jung happened to choose October 12, 2012 as the date of my presentation. Since this was the date of my 75th birthday the title, “AT 75”, immediately arose. What a challenge, I thought. But I decided it was appropriate to take on this topic and will speak spontaneously as well as dialogue about my experiences and reflections at this stage of life. Since the talk will be personal, I will welcome reflections and questions and exploring with the audience.

“I will talk about the possibilities and limitations of aging, some reflections on time, memory and life review.  And I will mention some of the sources of inspiration for me at this stage of life – poems, films and historical figures who have inspired me.  The tension of the opposites is always with us, so I will share some of the joys and the difficulties and the ever present struggle to find balance and growth in the adventure of transformation.”
