St Catherine drinking from the side wound of Christ The Passageway as Living Image. Medieval Women, Mysticism and the Feminine “Side” of the Divine.
Dr Maria Grazia Calzà
Jungian Analyst
To C.G. Jung, our imagination is the doorway to divinity: it serves as a symbolic intermediary allowing for the imaging of the imageless divine. These living images allowed medieval women mystics to stand in relationship with the transcendent; a transcendent that over-flowed their consciousness, transmuted and grounded it in their body. In their numinous experiences, they envisioned Jesus as an “incarnational form” of divinity (Self; Jung’s “God within us”) that was feminine in nature, a “continuum with” rather than an “opposition to” their ordinary feminine experience of embodiment.
Dr Maria Grazia Calzà grew up among the olive trees along Lake Garda, Italy. After a diploma in Art Restoration in Venice, she continued her studies at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg, Germany receiving a MA and later a PhD in Medieval History, Theology, and Psychology. She has written a book on the role of the body in the mysticism of the first Beguine, Marie d'Oignies, published various articles and lectured internationally. In 2017 she graduated from the International School of Analytical Psychology (ISAP) in Zurich, Switzerland. Dr Calzà works in Riva del Garda as a Philosophical Counsellor and Jungian Psychoanalyst. Together with Lisa Holland, she is the new academic co-chair of the Jungian Odyssey, and currently completing a book about the feminine taste of the Corpus Christi in women’s mysticism of the Late Middle Ages.
