Character, like a Photograph, Develops in Darkness: Views from the Shadow – Fall Analyst Seminar

September 20, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm PDT

Virtual Event Virtual Event
$195.00
seminar:

Oregon Friends of Jung, in partnership with The Pacific Northwest Society of Jungian Analysts, continues our series of seminars designed to deepen your knowledge of Jungian psychology. You’ll have an opportunity to learn from and engage with Analysts who are experts in their fields.

How we choose to deal with our darkness, difficulties, and defeats is a major factor in how our character will develop. The individuation process helps us become more conscious of our distinct traits, like our persona and shadow.  However, as Jung said, “one does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making darkness conscious.  The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.”  CW 13, para. 335.

We will explore the personal shadow, looking at ways in which shadow elements emerge, how they can be worked with, and what it means for us to work with shadow material.
