We will begin by reviewing the application of complexity theory, developed in the late 20th century, to Jungian concepts such as archetypes and synchronicity. The role of the psychoid layer of archetypal reality will be explored from this vantage point and applied first to recent research in ecological systems. Participants will have some opportunities to experience and discuss their own experiences of wonder to enrich personal comprehension of these ideas. Then we will look at a number of examples from the history of culture where artisans or artists were able to represent profound knowledge of highly complex natural phenomena well ahead of any scientific understanding. These will guide us towards the articulation of the psychoid imagination—audio-visual materials will aid participants in entering these experiences.
