"The Photo League: A Visual Voice"

The influential Photo League of NYC was founded in 1936 when photography was entering the American consciousness as many of its members turned their cameras on social and economic issues in our country. At the same time the demise of the League as a result of its blacklisting in 1947 is particularly relevant to current concerns about domestic surveillance and issues of civil liberties. The program will include imagery by such notable photographers as Dorothea Lang, Ansel Adams, Lewis Hines and Margaret Bourke-White.

Morris Bosey:
"The Psychology of Carl Jung"

A Sunday afternoon lecture with video on Carl Jung’s psychology of personal and spiritual growth will be presented by Morris Bosey at the Fellowship at 2pm March 7. The public is invited. According to Bosey, spirituality in Jung’s psychology refers to the creative life force that is the source of those energies that make life worth living and living fully. One source of this energy is the ‘self’ within the unconscious psyche. Our spiritual practices are to assist us in experiencing this ever-renewing, nourishing life energy. Presenter Morris Bosey MA is a retired counseling psychologist from Niagara College, Ontario and is the founder of the Friends of Jung Group in the Niagara Peninsula. Bosey and his wife, Eleanor, attend the Fellowship while spending a few weeks in Fairhope every winter. They play bridge and enjoy singing with the Back Porch Folk Singers.
