Dear friends and colleagues, 

 In these troubled times where many of us are suffering the unbearable silently, the Stand By The Mother series of lectures rises with unwavering faith from the roots of hope. An “absolute experience of our species” mothers embody a foundational element of human experience and an inherent organic truth. 

 It seems particularly timely to take hold of what Beatrice Hinkle (1874-1953) had intuited about Jung’s contribution, in that “humanity is seeking a new message, a new light upon the meaning of life, and something tangible as it were, with which it can work towards a larger understanding of itself, and its relation to the universe”  (1916).

Dedicated to supporting Palestinian mothers in their striving to retain human dignity under the harshest realities, this fundraising series invites inspiring speakers to lead us into the “mystery of mother” and of life itself. Both essential unknowns, they are “critical to the vitality of the psyche” inasmuch as individuals take their lives “into their own hands, faithful to their own essence and their own love”.

Best wishes,

Heba Zaphiriou-Zarifi
