SUMMARY:Gifts of the Celtic Wellsprings
DESCRIPTION:In Ireland and Wales many ancient rituals and myths of the cult of sacred waters survived into modern times. The holy wells have been seen as sources of fertility\, regeneration\, deepened and expanded vision\, sovereignty initiations\, and healing. This lecture\, through words and images\, will be an exploration of some of the symbolism of these rites and their relevance for contemporary Jungian therapy.

SUMMARY:Archetypal Manifestations in the Individuation Process
DESCRIPTION:“The body is merely the visibility of the soul\, the psyche; and the soul is the psychological experience of the body. So it is really one and the same thing.” (Jung\, Zarathustra Seminars\, p. 355.) \nIndividuation is a second half of life process when we consciously return to our personal unconscious and our archetypal roots. We know much about working with personal unconscious material. Jung\, however\, pushes deeper in his work and invites us to research and work with archetypal forces that manifest in our personal process. These experiences are often pathologized\, although they have been experienced\, observed and discussed since the beginning of human consciousness. This lecture will discuss the importance of recognizing\, witnessing and containing these archetypal energies when they become embodied and emerge in our lives and in our analysis. Case material and video clips will help to illustrate the subject matter.

SUMMARY:Origins of Analytical Psychology in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Jung’s analytical psychology has developed in many places in the United States and in the world. Much of the spread has been during the past quarter century. As we enter into the twenty-first century\, there has been a tendency not to remember how analytical psychology developed in this country. It is the purpose of this talk to briefly review the founding of analytical psychology in three areas: New York\, San Francisco and Los Angeles. These were the three areas in the United States where Jung’s psychology developed during the lifetime of Jung\, and as a result\, he influenced how these professional groups developed. In these localities the founders had had their analyses with Jung\, which had an important bearing on how each professional society developed. This talk will be illustrated with photos of the founders of the different Jungian societies. Implications for the state of analytical psychology today will be presented.

SUMMARY:Archetypal Silence: The Mother of Soul
DESCRIPTION:In Gnostic myth\, Sige\, Silence\, is the mother of Sophia\, the Soul of the World. Silence is the medium\, the matrix of soul life. We know when we are in soul when we experience an inner silence\, even though we may be speaking with others or there are sounds around us. Silence is an autonomous phenomenon\, more like a region we can learn to step into than simply the absence of noise. This weekend explores Silence as basic to soul experience. \nThe evening lecture explores the barriers to the region of silence through the imagery of the Isenheim Altar and some of the writing of St. Anthony the Great. We will see that we have to find the gateway to Silence. Guardians have to be met and faced. How these guardians function in the present world is presented\, along with suggestions concerning how to recognize them and how to honor their autonomy.

SUMMARY:“Testing the Spirits” – False Prophets and True Healers in the Old Age and in the New Age
DESCRIPTION:The title alludes to a saying from the Christian Bible. In its original context\, the advice to test the “spirits” implies a warning about the many varieties of spirituality promoted in the second-century world\, and it offers a warning against trusting every so-called “spirit” that advertises itself as healing. Discernment is necessary. But how can one tell one “spirit” from another? \nThis presentation will explore responses to this question from religious traditions and also from contemporary depth psychology\, since in these first days of a new millennium there are as many winds of “spirit” blowing as there were two thousand years ago. Today there is talk about this “spirituality” and that one in many realms: politics\, media\, religions\, New Age spirituality\, advertising and athletics. How is one to judge what is going on spiritually in our time? This is as perplexing a problem now as when C.G. Jung wrote in 1928: “I believe that the spirit is a dangerous thing and I do not believe in its paramouncy!”

SUMMARY:Writing as Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:Poetry has been an expression of soul\, a way to sing praise\, lament\, invoke\, tell stories\, pray\, since the beginning of human culture. Poets keep their ears to the ground of the changing myth; they are the instruments on which the gods play their music. It is the poets who can guide us in a time like our own\, when the myths are changing. Poets know how to follow the waves of the cultural unconscious\, how to fish in the vast waters of the collective unconscious\, bringing up treasure from the deep. \nThis talk is an act of imagination\, an articulation of an inner dialogue with the poetic Self. We will consider what poetry has to do with Jungian analysis. We will listen to the news as told by the poets\, especially those who are bringing the goddess back to consciousness.

SUMMARY:Inanna: The carved-out ground plan of heaven and earth
DESCRIPTION:The Mesopotamian goddess Inanna wears on her robe “the carved-out ground plan of heaven and earth\,” thus declaring herself to be the architect of perceived reality. Her plan\, as described by the poet and priestess Enheduanna\, encompasses both the beauty\, joy and goodness of life as well as sorrow\, tragedy\, pain\, violence and death. Inanna herself embodies paradox and creates for her human subjects all the difficult opposing forces of the outer and inner worlds. From Jung’s psychology we learn that the demanding contradictions that challenge every human being are the whet stones on which we hone our individuality and widen the circumference of our consciousness. We will explore transformative strategy of embracing dark and light\, examining this process as a gateway to understanding the Divine Feminine.

SUMMARY:Caves of the soul
DESCRIPTION:The metaphor of the cave that one enters bearing only the modest candle of one’s intention to light the unknown depths and darkness is a very apt image of the exploration of self. With that image in mind\, this lecture will retrace a recent pilgrimage to the Dordogne region of southwestern France to explore prehistoric caves and rock shelters of Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon humans where painted images suggest early stages of mankind’s differentiation. We will also re-trace the traveling group’s visit to the great Cathedral at Chartres to experience another kind of “cave” made by men above the ground. These sites of exploration offer similar impressions of the perennial search in the deep places of the soul for\, and the experience of\, a transcendent Other. The lecture will discuss some of these cave sites and show slides of some of the surviving paintings. Using these images we will “go into the caves” together to examine the process of opening oneself to the personal depths of Psyche\, to the experience of the mysterium tremendum et fascinans. We will explore the psychological meanings of sacred space and the “thin places” in the world where the ego and Self\, the human and the Divine\, meet in fruitful exchange.

SUMMARY:The vision thing: Myth\, politics and psyche in the world
DESCRIPTION:George Bush\, the elder\, did not have in mind the fundamental interconnectedness of myth\, politics and psyche when he inadvertently coined the phrase “the vision thing.” Yet\, the very awkwardness of Bush’s phrase points to the inherent tension between the real and the visionary between the conscious and unconscious. Indeed\, the “vision thing” problem is at the heart of ongoing paradoxes in our individual and collective lives and in our mythological and political orientations. This lecture will explore the “vision thing” through examples from contemporary American and international political conflicts.

SUMMARY:Special Program: Bone:  Dying into life
DESCRIPTION:Marion Woodman is renowned as a chronicler of women’s experience. In her latest work\, she combines her trademark insight with a personal lesson in wisdom and strength. On November 7\, 1993\, Marion Woodman was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Bone is the story\, told in journal form\, of her illness and healing and the journey to transforming herself. \nMore than a meditation on illness\, Bone offers insights into healing and the role of art and poetry in the soul’s journey toward balance and wholeness. Woodman is extraordinarily honest about the factors she feels led her down the path to cancer\, physically and spiritually\, over the course of her early life. She also details the harrowing aspects of her journey and how she ultimately returned to health. Filled with art\, line drawings\, quotations from Rumi\, Emily Dickinson\, William Blake and others\, Bone is a unique and sensitive testament to the human spirit and to the courage of this extraordinary woman.

SUMMARY:Transforming depression: Healing the soul through creativity\, egocide\, symbolic death\, and new life
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will cover: understanding depression and the quest for meaning\, knowing suicide and its creative potential\, and egocide and transformation (an innovative Jungian humanistic therapeutic paradigm). Egocide and transformation entails healing depressive and suicidal states through the creative technique of active imagination. In other words\, the symbolic death of a destructive ego (and shadow) — ‘the false self’ — and the subsequent creative expressions lead to the birth of the ‘true self.’ Dr. Rosen will also talk about crisis points (such as adolescence\, mid-life\, divorce and loss of a loved one) and how egocide can help.

SUMMARY:Dreams as the Journey With the Soul
DESCRIPTION:The Friday lecture\, entitled “The Hundredth Dreamer”\, will outline the historical and cultural factors and attitudes that\, in effect\, have eclipsed dreamwork in Western society\, in spite of the work of Freudians and Jungians. These factors have typological characteristics that have produced resistances to the type of consciousness needed for dreamwork\, namely introverted\, intuitive\, and feeling traits. We will see this in Jung’s early life\, as described by him in his 1925 seminar. It will be shown how these resistances have dampened dreamwork in our society and how they often appear within a dream consciousness and content.

SUMMARY:The Tao of Story: From Dracula to Bodhisattva
DESCRIPTION:Stories inspire and shape our lives\, from the archetypal dramas we unconsciously enact\, to the jokes we make about the boss at work. Yet stories also plague us\, and this weekend’s lecture and workshop will focus on four such problematic situations. \nThe Friday evening lecture addresses the problem of being stuck in a story\, endlessly repeating the same script — a plight dramatize by Dracula\, who was compelled by the vampire curse to feed on the living. Fortunately Scheherazade from “The Thousand and One Arabian Nights” shows a way out of stuck stories\, by using the psychology of five fundamental genres of narrative — myth\, fact\, fairy tale\, legend\, and the favorite tale: transformation results from experiencing each genre in that specific order — a sequence characteristic of initiation rituals.

SUMMARY:The Psychological and Spiritual Problem of Giving Yourself Away
DESCRIPTION:Women often agonize over a single question – am I too selfish? – struggling with the belief that focusing on ourselves is selfish when it comes to spiritual or religious concerns. \nAll religions instruct us to pay close attention to our intentions and actions in order to become responsible for our ethical and spiritual development. And yet\, women have been uniformly discouraged in acquiring a knowledge of self-determination in their major life roles.

SUMMARY:The Archetypal Dynamics of Relationships
DESCRIPTION:How is it that relationships\, which bring us the greatest joy in life\, also confront us with the greatest difficulties? Why do so many of us simply give up in the face of the humiliating hurts that relationships engender? Well\, acording to Jung\, it’s all in the service of our individuation. The more conscious we are of the dynamics at work in relationships\, the less turbulent will be their effects on us. In a little-known section of Volume VII of the Collected Works [para 374-406]\, Jung speaks of the “mana personality.” This archetypal element holds the key to understanding why relationships can become problematic. This weekend we shall look at the dynamics of relationship. We shall focus particularly on the anima and animus\, those bridge dynamics that connect the ego with the Self.  \nFriday night we’ll review Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair\, which can either be read in book form or seen in the movie (currently in release). What can we learn from a man’s encounter with the Self\, as facilitated by his anima\, which is fixated on a woman with whom he is having an affair?

SUMMARY:Relationships: The Psychodynamics of Self and Other
DESCRIPTION:The relationship between Self and Other carries always the imprint of first relationships. In any present relationship we are inevitably inmeshed in the psychological mechanisms of projection and transference of the primal\, intrapsychic imago of relationship. This lecture will explore the mechanisms of the projection/transference dynamics\, “the Eden project”\, which our hidden agenda embodies\, and the search for the Magical Other.

SUMMARY:Patterning in the Psyche and the Natural World
DESCRIPTION:Nowhere is the confluence of the relationship between matter and psyche more clearly expressed than in the formation of patterns. Existing within both the internal world of psyche and the outer natural world\, archetypal patterns are expressions of an innate ordering process which gives matter its specific form and design. We find these deeply textured patterns present within the world of fairy tales\, myths\, and dreams. We can see similar archetypal patterns expressed in our architectural designs\, cities\, cultures\, and even on a personal level in our choice of spouse\, employee\, or therapist. In fact\, with a discerning eye\, we can often intuit the expression of the destiny that is suggested by the patterns established within our lives. \nIn this lecture and workshop Dr. Conforti will discuss the formation of patterns and their relationship to archetypes. Much attention will be given to the work of what he terms “Archetypal Pattern Recognition”\, and its application with the therapeutic\, personal\, corporate and global arenas.

SUMMARY:Paradise and Millennium: A Jungian Reflection on Cinematic Images of the Perfection of Soul in Times of Intense Collective Transition
DESCRIPTION:We all long for paradise. No matter our psycho-spiritual persuasion\, no matter how mature and individuated we fancy ourselves to be\, no matter how suavely world-wise\, we all long for paradise when things get tough. Paradise is home\, the peaceful\, generative home of full and final beauty and peace we never seem to find in this world. Paradise is the abode of the Soul. \nFilm and Jungian psychology have many images of this paradisiacal home. These seem to be intensifying and deepening as the millennium approaches. This lecture and workshop will respectfully explore these images and reflect on their possible guidance and challenge in our journey toward the Gates of Paradise. As always with such conversations\, no answers are promised\, just a broadening and enhancing of our questions.

SUMMARY:Friday Night at the Movies: The Wisdom of the Dream (III); A World of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:As a young boy\, Jung “somehow” knew his dreams were significant and full of meaning. His early attention to those dream images was\, for all humankind\, the answer to the knocking at the door by the unconscious desiring entry into the conscious world. Stephen Segaller’s narrative of Jung’s journey — a series of three films — opens the door for the viewer to travel with Jung into the depths and unfolding of the conscious in the psychological realm of life. Segaller’s film is a chronological montage of images from the “outer world” and the “inner world” using interviews with Jung\, commentary by contemporary analysts\, paintings of dream images and rare footage of Jung’s travels to Africa\, Britain and New Mexico. \nThis film will be shown in three parts\, and after each showing a discussion will be led by Jungian analysts. All showings are free.\nPart Three: A World of Dreams\nDiscussion led by James Soliday\, D.Min.\, and Joell Hyman\, M.S.\nJung’s influence on understanding the concerns of contemporary Western culture\, aging\, relationships\, war\, addictions\, myth\, ritual and play.

SUMMARY:Early Trauma and Dreams: Archetypal Defenses of the Personal Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Experiences in early childhood that cause unbearable psychic pain or anxiety (trauma) can leave the personality and the human spirit threatened with destruction. In this lecture\, using dream examples from the clinical situation and the fairy tale of Rapunzel\, we will see how an archetypal defense emerges to save the imperishable human spirit from further trauma\, but at the price of encapsulating a core of selfhood\, thus cutting it off from life. Psychotherapy of this trauma complex will be discussed.

SUMMARY:A Textbook of Integrity: A Contemporary Commentary on the I Ching
DESCRIPTION:The I Ching is an oracular book which has been used for divination in China for at least 3000 years. Although it has shamanic roots and Taoist content\, the I Ching is one of the foundations of Confucian philosophy\, which places emphasis on the correct handling of situations. In the West\, students of C.G. Jung’s psychology have turned to the I Ching when an archetypal issue demands an ethical standpoint. In this lecture\, Dr. Beebe will relate the philosophy underlying this ancient text to the psychology of integrity that has been developing for Jungian analysis.

SUMMARY:A New Look at Active Imagination
DESCRIPTION:For Jung\, life is paradox\, so it is not surprising that he described his most important ideas in paradoxical ways. On the one hand\, active imagination is a meditative procedure or expressive technique meant to be used by the patient alone\, away from the analyst. On the other hand\, by linking active imagination to his symbolic method of dream interpretation and to the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship\, Jung seems to be laying the groundwork for a comprehensive method of psychotherapy. In its deepest sense\, active imagination is a central\, self-reflective psychological attitude drawing from the creative resources of human culture: aesthetic\, religious\, philosophical\, and social.

SUMMARY:Vampires\, Eroticism\, and the Lure of the Unconscious
DESCRIPTION:While many contemporary works of fiction expand on the legends of vampires\, it is an ancient theme. Symbolically\, we can imagine vampires as unconscious energy that preys on our feelings of desire\, preys on the desire to connect to life itself. What is the meaning of these dark forces that can rob us of our libidinal connections to life? And how might the hand of the Self be working through this dark mythology? In this lecture Nancy will use Ann Rice’s novel The Witching Hour to focus on the sensual lure to remain unconscious\, and the kind of courage that is needed to face individuation.

SUMMARY:Feminine Mysteries in the Myth of Orpheus
DESCRIPTION:Why did Orpheus lose his bride on the day they were to be married? Are the reasons similar to those which cause failure in relationships today? Orpheus was unwilling to accept this loss\, and he became the only mortal in Greek mythology to risk his own life by descending into the underworld to retrieve his beloved. His gift for music rivaled that of the gods\, enabling him to charm the King and Queen of Hades into releasing his newly deceased bride. Orpheus was recognized as the most important poet in Greek mythology. This lecture will include images from the myth of Orpheus to illuminate the contemporary problem between men and women\, and between the human species and nature.

SUMMARY:Archetypal Dimensions of Child-Raising
DESCRIPTION:The archetypal dimensions of child-raising appear in many activities. From the actual raising of our children\, to improving childish aspects of our own personalities\, to developing our society’s potential for new ways of living\, to improving the adaptability of the human race\, the dynamics are the same. In this lecture Dr. Van Eenwyk will break new ground to provide a conceptual framework for taking Jung’s formulations on archetypes into this crucial dimension of our lives.
