Fairy Tales: Archetypal Forays into the Deep Psyche

September 9, 2018: Fall 2018:

This Event is Sold Out.

Send an email to info@ofj.org if you wish to be placed on the waiting list.

Fairy tales surprise, delight, and inform. Revealing the dynamics of the psyche, they speak to both personal and universal human experience through stories that are rich in images and symbols. In this seminar we will experience the vitality of fairy tales and, using Jung’s essential ideas and concepts, explore the ways in which the tales can be helpful in working with relationships, dreams and the basic questions of existence.

The sessions will occur on six Sundays, from 1:00 – 3:00 PM.

The first three sessions will be led by Dunbar Carpenter.

  • Sept. 9,   2018
  • Sept. 16, 2018

The second three sessions will be led by Dominique Marguerite.
