The Dynamic Psyche: Approaches to Working with the Unconscious – Seminar I
September 29, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm PDT
$195.00The seminar is now full.
A relationship with the unconscious is a relationship between the known and the unknown parts of the psyche. Jung believed that relationship is a key to living a balanced life, and is the means by which we might grow throughout adulthood. Think of it as an extended conversation between ego and the other that has many forms. This seminar will explore different ways this dialogue can take place by working with some of Jung’s basic ideas on how the psyche works. There will be a particular focus on the dynamic aspects of this dialogue, on the psyche in motion, on the psyche as a verb rather than a noun.
