 AWAKENING TO ONENESS: Active Imagination with Readings from the Red Book,   a lecture with Susan Tiberghien 

The spirit of the depths spoke to me: “You are an image of the unending world.” p.230, The Red Book, C.G. Jung

There has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things. p.392, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, C.G. Jung

  Awakening to the oneness of creation starts with awakening to our own oneness. Jung took this path in 1913 when, having lost his way at midlife, he went into the underworld to confront the unconscious. He called out to his forgotten soul and began his journey toward individuation, toward wholeness. Reading excerpts from The Red Book, we will follow Jung in his imagined encounters on his way toward wholeness. We will look to find our own way. “There is only one way and that is your way.” In so doing, we will awaken not only to our own oneness, but to the oneness of the world we inhabit.

 AWAKENING TO ONENESS: Active Imagination with Readings from the Red Book,   a Day With with Susan Tiberghien

The spirit of the depths spoke to me: “You are an image of the unending world.” p.230, The Red Book, C.G. Jung

There has grown up in me a feeling of kinship with all things. p.392, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, C.G. Jung

  In our workshop we will enter the world of imagination and awaken to our oneness. Reading excerpts from The Red Book, we will see how Jung actively imagined his soul, how she led him along his path toward wholeness, how he brought the different parts of himself together to find his oneness. We will practice our own active imaginations as we look to follow our own path. Reading also excerpts from Etty Hillesum and Thomas Merton, we will see how they found their way within themselves, enabling them to turn outwards to the world around them. We will embrace not only our own oneness, but the oneness of all creation.

THE GREEN DREAM: The Inauguration of the Individuation Process, an evening with Robert Mannis, Ph.D.

Jung had this dream shortly after Christmas of 1912.  He was 37 years old.  He was personally reeling from his collapsing friendship with Freud.  Jung referred to this time of his life as "a period of inner uncertainty."  Arguably this "Green Dream" may be the most important dream of Jung's life.  I believe this dream has great significance for all of us, as it began a journey of introspection that Jung aptly named, the individuation process.

Our psyche is set up in accord with the structure of the universe, and what happens in the macrocosm likewise happens in the infinitesimal and most subjective reaches of the psyche.”

         Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, p. 335.

Join me in a discussion of our personal experiences during Covid-19. Also, we will evaluate the first and second halves of our lives, our attitudes toward death, and ideas about the concept of re-birth (which Jung defines as “participation in the process of transformation”). In addition, we will examine the transformation process in Shakespeare’s King Lear.

MOTHERHOOD: Facing and Finding Yourself, a course with Lisa Marchiano

Few life experiences challenge us like motherhood. Being a mother will tire us out, fill us with dread, and move us to tears. It will inspire joy, self-doubt, hilarity, contentment, rage, terror, shame, irritation, inadequacy, grief, anxiety, and love. We will probably see ourselves at our very best – and our very worst.  This four-week course will be based on Lisa's book "Motherhood: Facing and Finding Yourself." Course discussion will add to and complement the book. Participants are encouraged to read the book before the course.

FEMININE CONSCIOUSNESS AND JUNGIAN ARTS-BASED RESEARCH, a lecture with Susan Rowland

We live in tumultuous times. They are tumultuous because of a paradigm shift. Western modernity, characterized by the subject/object split struggles to engage with the necessary re- weaving of the psyche to know that we are all part of one planet, conjoined to it and within it.

HOW AND WHY TO DO JUNGIAN ARTS-BASED RESEARCH, a workshop with Susan Rowland

After exploring the Jungian Arts-Based Research paradigm for making new knowledge, we will enact and perform the epistemology of the image by way of active imagination and amplification. You may wish to bring or describe samples of your own art (in any media) to be re-framed in JABR. We will also make use of Jung’s ‘psychological’ and ‘visionary’ modes as ways of researching the psyche of audiences for art.

OBJECT RELATIONS AND ATTACHMENT DYNAMICS: The Psychoneuroimmunology of Shadow Projection (Part II), an evening with Tim Lyons

 “I’ve spent many years alone with the process of unlearning. Have you ever unlearned anything?” C. G. Jung, The Red Book

In Part 2 of this program, we will explore how we can develop intentional somatic awareness in order to unlearn some of our most primal, instinctually and biologically conditioned patterns of attachment. Many of these dependent patterns of object relationships that were essential for survival and thriving as infants, will become self-destructive and even deadly as we struggle to grow to independence. Throughout life, these patterns naturally evolve into immune enhancing and autoimmune defensive adaptations. Some produce loving projections and nourishing object relations, and others produce attachments to the bad object, seed future self-destructive codependent relationships, dissociations, and addictions.

Being stuck, blocked, repeating the same pattern over and over again. Life serves up impossible situations at times. According to C. G. Jung, we have within us a capacity that can shuttle us beyond our impasses. He has called it the transcendent function. In this course, we shall explore the transcendent function from a variety of perspectives. The purpose here is to awaken our own sense and ability to work with this necessary function of the psyche.

Saturday, July 10 |  1:00-4:00pm, Eastern Time

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce the Amazonian mythology of the Kaxinawá (self-named as Huni Kuin meaning “true people”) under the umbrella of archetypal intersubjectivity – a concept that I developed during my doctoral studies. Within an anthropocentric perspective, only human beings have subjectivity. What is being proposed within the concept of archetypal intersubjectivity is the call to awareness that matter is not something inert, but, as an integral part of the formation of life on our planet, it also has a history which begins with the innumerable interactions with other elements that are part of its formation. Therefore, because it is interactive, it has alterity, subjectivity, and archetypal character. Thus archetypal intersubjectivity is a theory that seeks to comprehend the psychological phenomena through the archetypal interaction between beings in a given environment.

von FRANZ AND THE EVIL STEPMOTHER, a lecture with Steve Buser

A poisoned apple.  An evil stepmother.  A cold dark tower.  The heroine is confronted out of the darkness of her own unconscious.  Will she be devoured by the dark animus of the archetypal evil stepmother, or can she confront her ghosts and transform them into a healing space of strength?

Join us, as Steven Buser, general editor of The Collected Works of Marie-Louise von Franz, gives us a behind the scenes look into the editing process and dives with us into content of Volume Three, Archetypal Symbols in Fairytales: The Maiden’s Quest.

Dr. von Franz is the master at bringing fairytales alive and fathoming their depths.  Her writings are some of the most profound work ever done on fairytales.  Her deepening journey in Volume Three marvelously illuminates the quest of the feminine.
