THE NATURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Carl Jung Legacy Tour, Küsnacht, Lake Zurich.
In August 2009, Bréon participated in the Carl Jung Legacy Tour, held in Switzerland. This special event was organised by the Pacifica Graduate Institute, based in Santa Barbara.
INTEGRATION OF THE SHADOW
Members of Pacifica, who, as custodians of the Joseph Campbell Library, offered access to Campbell’s original writings with a view to Bréon developing and integrating Campbell’s ideas into a new work, which is intended to incorporate also some of the original ideas of Carl Jung, as well as those of Oliver Sacks.
I revered stillness and sensed a strong connection with nature. I also loved to explore wildlife and the deeper mysteries of the cosmos — where I would drift into a heightened state of consciousness.
Bréon Rydell
THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC
“Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears—it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more—it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”
[Sacks, O : ‘Musicophilia,’ 2007]
