Mythology is usually categorized as a bunch of strange old stories from dead civilizations, but Jung in particular brought mythology to life again when he discovered the eternal archetypal patterns that shape the stories of myth. The reason these stories have not died out and been forgotten, and the reason they still have the power to enliven and excite us today, is because they are living expressions of the deepest levels of our psyche.
During this seminar we will read a myth aloud together. As we alternate our reading of a version of the original Troyes translation of "Percival and the Search for the Holy Grail" with discussions of its effect on our minds, our emotions, our attitudes, our dreams, and our relationship to ourselves and others, we will directly experience the eternal life force of a myth. We will not only bring mytholgy to life--we will share an experience of how mythology can bring us to life.
Diane Fassett has her PhD in Analytic Psychology, her MA in Women and Public Policy and a JD. In the 1980s she served on the Board of Directors of the WSJP before moving to New York and founding the Mid-Hudson Jung Society in 1990. She has recently returned to DC after living in Europe for 10 years, where she graduated from the CG Jung Institute in Zurich and then lived in Dublin, Ireland, for seven years. While in Ireland she served as Chair of the Irish Analytic Psychology Association, had a private practice as a Jungian analyst, and lectured extensively on Jungian psychology in Trinity College and University College, Dublin, for the North Eastern Health Board psychiatric staff, and for various training courses in psychotherapy. Diane has a private practice is in Washington, DC.

When we are disconnected from ourselves we can feel depressed, isolated, irritable, or numb. We may be buffeted by inexplicable mood swings. Relationships or even life itself can feel empty or meaningless. These all-too-common experiences point to a disconnect between our outer life and the nourishing wellsprings of our inner lives. Working regularly with dreams provides the missing link of reconnection between our inner and outer lives, and it is this regular connection that paradoxically can both soothe and energize us.
This dream group will support and expand your own techniques for finding meaning and connections to your dreams. In addition, we'll add a little analytic dream theory, mix in a bit of mythological amplification, explore the dream scaffoldings of complex and archetype, and learn to decipher your individual psyche's direct and specific dialogue between your outer life events and the inner symbols and images expressed by your dreams.
