What: Course
Who: Sean Favretto, M.A.
When: Six Mondays
Fees: $150.00, members; $175.00, nonmembers; $125.00, seniors over 65 and full-time students
The chakra system is discussed extensively in yoga practice, energy medicine, and also in archetypal and developmental psychology. How do we "know" who we are? How do life cycles force us to change and redefine who we believe we are? From the "root chakra" -- our collective or tribal identity -- to the "crown chakra" -- our cosmic identity, we progress in our development through different archetypal stages. First, taking delight in our own bodies and physical sensation, then claiming our personal power, then discovering love and our identity in relationships, finding our individual creative voice, and (re)discovering our connection to the universal ALL -- the chakra system is a rainbow bridge that connects our physical, emotional, archetypal, and cosmic selves. Our bodies are the instrument, and our embodied lives tell the story.
In this course we will learn about the chakra system, these different archetypal stages, how and where we get "hung up" or derailed from our unfolding journey -- wounded, hurt, confused, lost. Using clinical and real-life examples, we will also explore how we can creatively heal these wounds, get "back on track," and how each chakra represents a different developmental opportunity Students are encouraged to obtain a copy of Eastern Body, Western Mind by Dr. Anodea Judith before this course begins.\
We intend to offer CEUs for this program.

Don¹t worry about what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and
do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.
(Howard Thurman, civil rights preacher and mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King)
We will focus on the skills of mindfulness, creativity, and holding
opposites to awaken our aliveness.

From the Back Matter: An early classic in child psychology, Frances Wickes' The Inner World of Childhood explores how children think, dream, and fantasize as well as how adults often cannot help but misinterpret that inner life. Beginning with an analysis of negative parental influence on a child's unconscious, and concluding with a discussion of the role of sex in child psychology, Wickes' incisive work covers almost every topic in between, from the structure of the child's psyche to the significance of imaginary playmates. This work is still as fascinating and insightful as it was when first published in 1927. In a new introductory preface, the author reviews this work from the perspective of 60 years later. What Carl Jung said about it still holds true: "Probably no father or mother will be able to read these chapters without realizing the devastating truths of this book."
April Barrett is in service to the dissemination of Jung's thought through her participation and training with the Creative Initiative Foundation, the Guild for Psychological Studies, and the Jung Society of Washington, for which she is program director, executive director, and vice-president of the board.

What: Lecture
Who: Leila Ryland Swain, M.A., M.S.W.
When: Friday
Fees: $15:00, members in advance; $20.00, general; $10.00 sen/stu
This presentation is a multi-media PowerPoint study of music from the viewpoint of psychology and myth. The basic clash between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud is discussed, with clips from Matter of Heart and from a biography of Freud, in which we hear Freud speaking of his psychology. The presentation explores, with pictures and videos, how Jung's theories are compatible with the wellsprings of music in the human/divine psyche. Attention is given to the Teutonic myths, with clips from Fritz Lang's epic movie about Siegfried and the myth of the hero. Jung's dream that he had to kill Siegfried is highlighted and explored. The myth of Orpheus is considered, with clips from Gluck's Orpheus et Euridice and from Offenbach's Orphee et Eurydice, that show alternative interpretations. The sin of "looking back" is discussed in this context. The presentation explores different forms of music therapy, including Helen Bonny's Guided Imagery to Music, and Alfred Tomatis's sonic rebirth, i.e., "Mozart as a Good Mother." Sacred geometry, as it is paralleled by the geometry of music is examined, with latest scientific discoveries detailed. The presentation is entertaining and informative and will contribute to the listener's understanding of Jungian and Freudian psychology as well as to the ultimate meanings of music in the human soul.
We intend to offer CEUs for this program.

Think of all the great words and great teachings as your deadly enemy. Avoid them because you have to find your own source. - Osho Zen Tarot
In Jungian psychology, the integration of the archetypes, with special emphasis on the shadow archetype, is a key piece of Jung's "psychology of wholeness." Until we become conscious of the archetypal energies that are "hard-wired" within us, we will continue to be ruled by preprogrammed instructions from past-life experiences. For example, once we're conscious of some aspect of our shadow, it no longer has the ability to act itself out without our conscious observation and awareness. Each of us is a product of our hopes, ideals, environmental experiences, and of the many images that arise from within. These are the images that Jung described as "archetypes" and they are the images that that can enslave us or free us. Many believe that spiritual and psychological growth requires that one's consciousness expand in an inward direction, toward the unconscious. The contemporary images found in the Osho Zen Tarot (unlike more traditional tarot decks) can help draw us into ourselves. In this unique workshop, we will utilize the teachings of the Osho Zen Tarot Deck, an unusual and striking deck based on Zen Buddhism and the teachings of Osho, to assist us in bringing the unconscious into the light of consciousness. The contemporary and incisive images of the Osho Zen deck allow us to see reflections of ourselves in a more direct and uncomplicated manner.
The workshop will address: An initiation into the Tarot's system of esoteric wisdom as well as tenets of Zen spirituality, which are simultaneously practical, mystical, and paradoxical; Seeing that these 78 symbolic cards provide a path for accessing the inner beliefs that help to shape our destiny; Utilizing this combination of Tarot, Zen, and Jungian psychology to identify and investigate the individual archetypes that are influencing you right now; Using meditation, journaling, and discussion of the images to identify, explore, and begin reversing the effects of negative energy that may be causing your spiritual growth to be hindered. The emphasis will be using the Tarot as a tool for personal strength and inner transformation. An overview of both the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana of the Zen deck.
Bring your OSHO deck if you have one (helpful, not required). No knowledge of Tarot or Zen needed , only a willingness to look within, to grow, and to contemplate your inner archetypal energies. Note: The Osho Zen Tarot: The Transcendental Game of Zen can be purchased from Amazon for under $20.00, with used versions starting at $13.00.
We intend to offer CEUs for this program.
