Pacifica Graduate Institute Alumnus Clara Oropeza, Ph.D., is the author of A Re-mapping of Womanhood and Creativity: A Literary and Depth Psychological Perspective, which will be out April 24th. She will be giving the talk “A Reunion With the Feminine” on Pacifica Extension and International Studies on April 23, 2025.

In this talk, Dr. Oropeza will share the ways that grappling with grief stemming from the wounds that have been inflicted on the feminine, especially in her lineage, led her on a deep search for the stories that have given her greater access to a matrilineal heritage, symbolic and personal. She will discuss how the critical study of mythology and depth psychology has settled at the intersections of both her professional and personal lives. We hope you will join her to explore the crossroads of our journeys of self-discovery.

The session on April 23rd will be a presentation by Dr. Clara Oropeza, followed by Q&A.
