About the Book

In Susceptible to the Sacred, Bani Shorter, a well-known Jungian analyst, examines the psychological experience of ritual in contemporary life and how this promotes awareness of the individual's natural potential. Basing her book on live material, she investigates, with great sensitivity, how people perceive the sacred and use ritual in their search for purpose, motivation and transformation.

Reviews

Bani Shorter articulates a vision for individuation in our changing epoch, and has helped to construct substantial elements of a bridge towards that vision. In a book of hope and inspiration, she has produced a companion for the seeker and initiate, a challenge to analytical psychology, and an aid to our collective dilemmas. - Harvest
