We all, at times, find ourselves lost and alone, with no imaginable resources or maps pointing the right way forward. C.G. Jung described the process of individuation as a passage in which the lost psyche is compelled to confront not only the world but, more importantly, itself. We become castaways on the ocean of life – an experience perfectly reflected in the 2001 film Cast Away. Tom Hanks portrays Chuck Noland, who begins his journey bound by time, driven by the relentless demands of the modern world. But when fate casts him into the isolation of a deserted island, he is thrust into a realm of timelessness and must confront the raw essence of his being. This living myth resonates deeply with audiences worldwide because it touches the core of our collective wisdom and allows us to examine our own process of individuation. Join Bill Broyles (the screenwriter and creative mind behind Cast Away) in conversation with Dr. John Price as they delve into this rich narrative embedded with psychological and spiritual meaning and explore how this mythic journey mirrors the one we each must undertake in our own lives.
