Bednarik’s topic,”Ecstasy and the Psychology of Joy!,” is taken from Jungian analyst Robert Johnson who writes that ecstasy “was once considered a favor of the gods, a ‘trans-formative fire’ that could obliterate barriers and provide a greater understanding of the universe.”
Bednarik serves as the assistant to the minister in the pulpit at Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Port Townsend.
He studied philosophy at Haverford College and has worked in literary publishing for over 20 years.
