Course

Melanie Starr Costello

In this course we will explore intersections between stages of psychological maturation and the interior journey, as depicted by celebrated mystics. Our discussions will center upon assigned readings from C.G. Jung in combination with selections from the classics in western spirituality. Featured authors include Meister Eckhart, Hadewijch of Brabant, John of the Cross, and the modern mystic Cynthia Bourgeault.

Melanie Starr Costello, Ph.D. is a licensed psychologist, historian, and Zurich-trained Jungian analyst in private practice off Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. She earned her doctorate in the History and Literature of Religions from Northwestern University. A former Assistant Professor of History at St. Mary's College of Maryland, Dr. Costello has taught and published on the topics of psychology and religion, medieval spirituality, and clinical practice. Her study of the link between illness and insight, entitled Imagination, Illness and Injury: Jungian Psychology and the Somatic Dimensions of Perception, is published by Routledge press. Currently her work explores archetypal currents running through the collective psyche in our times - a topic she takes up in her workshops on the Stranger, Aging, and Spirituality, and on Dream Cosmologies.
