C.G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $10,000 |
|
|
The C.G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe presents Community Programs because we believe that the health of communities and individuals is dependent on experiencing a conscious connection with our inner psychological depths. Most community-and government-based mental health programs in New Mexico limit their attention to surface behaviors without delving into the depths of the human and collective psyche. This year's Community Programs seek to address the current cultural disintegration - requiring changes in attitude, which come only when we and our communities reflect together. |

This warm and supportive environment, and its language-rich curriculum, is complimented with an experienced bilingual staff trained in early childhood education. |
