Rick Tarnas has some excellent insights into the work of James Hillman and Stan Grof on the basis of his friendship and work with both of them over many years. In this episode of the podcast we talk about these two most creative and influential Psychologists coming out of The Depth Psychology tradition in recent times, Hillman and Archetypal Psychology and how he reminded us of the Western Tradition, Neoplatonism, the Renaissance, the Romantics and the soul and its depth, and Grof and Transpersonal Psychology and his love for the East, mysticism, spiritual wisdom, as well as his intense work with psychedelic assisted therapy.
Richard Tarnas is the founding director of the graduate program in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, where he has recently become Emeritus Professor. Born in 1950 in Geneva, Switzerland, of American parents, he grew up in Michigan, where he received a classical Jesuit education. In 1968 he entered Harvard, where he studied Western intellectual and cultural history and depth psychology, graduating with an A.B. cum laude in 1972. For ten years he lived and worked at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, studying with Stanislav Grof, Joseph Campbell, Gregory Bateson, Huston Smith, and James Hillman, later serving as Esalen’s director of programs and education.
