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

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
