The Feminine in Buddhism & Psychoanalysis: Our Portal to Aliveness

Friday, February 27
7pm – 9pm

Live on Zoom

Hosted by the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy

In this talk, Dr. Pilar Jennings will explore her decades long relationship to Tibetan Buddhism and its influence on her psychoanalytic practice. With an emphasis on the tradition’s shared efforts to restore our contact with feminine aspects of the psyche – intuitive knowing, empathy, and receptivity – she will consider how the Buddhist and psychoanalytic traditions benefit from active engagement. She will also consider recent collective struggles influencing analytic work, and the analyst’s increased need for feminine resources nurtured in the Buddhist model of mind.
