about

“I remember Alan Watts asked me one day, ‘Joe, what kind of meditation do you do?’ I said, “I underline sentences.” — Joseph Campbell

In this program, Dr. Slattery talks about what it means to see a book as a friend and teacher, and shares his insight into reading as a contemplative practice. Learn how to open yourself to a text—-whether it be a poem, literary classic, or other written work that captures your interest— to bring yourself closer to your personal myth and encounter the text as an Other, with its own subjectivity, unconscious, and mythic dimension.

Dennis Patrick Slattery, Ph.D., is Core Faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute in the Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology Programs. Honored as Distinguished Professor in 2007, Dr. Slattery is the author of over 200 articles and book reviews, as well as the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of 23 books. His recent books are Bridgework: Essays on Mythology, Literature, and Psychology and Creases in Culture: Essays Towards a Poetics of Depth.
