Author and psychotherapist Jason Wright will lead an exploration of Blake’s work in the context of psychic and spiritual wholeness and healing, and the sense of community this work offers at a time of change.
Blake’s experience is as relevant today as when he first articulated it, during the white heat of the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. In my recently published book I have used Blake’s Illustrations of the Book of Job to frame psychological and spiritual change and to articulate, particularly, our Western experience. I am wont to say Job is the story of our time, and addiction the symptom – Jason Wright
Jason is the author of Blake’s Job: Adventures in Becoming, an extraordinary book about his engagement with Blake.
He is a transpersonal and psychoanalytic psychotherapist. For twelve years, he was Clinical Director and CEO for the CORE Trust holistic addictions charity, as well as a manager and director in theatres. He has since founded Number 42, a group psychotherapy practice in Central London, UK. He has been a Member of the Blake Society for the last six years and has used this work in his practice for the past 30.
