What is being hosted from the unconscious depths by our president? The intensity of feeling and reaction, both for and against the iconic public persona and actions of George W. Bush, serve as symptom and indicator for our contemporary collective process. This talk will focus on an understanding of the way in which a leader arises in a collective setting and may serve to create shifts beyond our immediate awareness. We will examine conscious attitudes and beliefs about our current situation, and explore what might be lurking about in our collective shadow. Opportunity for individual and collective growth will be explored.
