Judy has been a volunteer here at OPUS in our preservation program for over a year. Each week she digitizes the audio lectures we have of James Hillman, Marion Woodman and a few others sprinkled in, though these are her favorites. These lectures are on audio cassette tapes –you remember those, right?! We asked Judy to share what being at OPUS means to her:
“The excitement and joy of being here at OPUS is reconnecting with depth psychology. I have no one in my life right now involved in all this stuff. So to come back and listen to these people whose books I have read, whose lectures and conferences I have attended, is the chance to get reacquainted, reminded. I am working on my dreams, asking ‘what is my fate, my destiny’? And to work on this again now, as I am in a completely different place in my life, is powerful.
Being here helps get me back to the important things and way from the minutiae. After a couple of hours of listening to the tapes I realize ‘oh, right, this is what is important in life – psyche, soul’ – not the being busy, all the doing.”
We are in gratitude to Judy for her time and dedication. We are also in deep thankfulness to our donors who make the digitization preservation program possible. Your donations help us purchase the equipment that allows us to preserve the fragile materials in the collections – audio cassette tapes, photographs, and slides.
To show our thanks we have created an audio archive page on our website for you to listen to the lectures we are digitizing and directly experience the benefit of this work. Click here and enjoy!
