SUMMARY:We Think with our Hearts: Reading Jung through Native Eyes
DESCRIPTION:This talk will review how some of Jung’s ideas (mis)represented Native cultures. The notion of the “primitive\,” participation mystique\, dreams\, and animals will be explored. Two psychic paradigms\, dominion and reciprocity\, will point to important differences between Indigenous and Western cosmologies and may offer a path away from our current trend toward self-destruction.

SUMMARY:Individuation Hijacked: Persona and Hero in an Evolving Universe
DESCRIPTION:Building on the Friday evening lecture\, the Saturday workshop will explore what happens when the archetype of the hero is hijacked and unhealthy compulsion takes the wheel. The compelling urge to achieve and master\, so characteristic of heroes and heroines\, may be used to avoid shame or insecurity. The original intent of heroic energy is then lost and the personality becomes rigid\, controlling\, and work-obsessed. This leads to the illness of our times\, an unhealthy and compulsive pursuit of status and achievement\, often to the destruction of individuals\, families and communities. \nUnderstanding the teleology\, the original intent of the heroic and compulsive urge to individuate\, can help us to channel this energy into more satisfying and meaningful ways of living that accord with true self. This presentation will help clinicians in their work with compulsive\, perfectionist\, and workaholic clients; individuals who struggle with those tendencies; and partners of individuals whose personalities have become rigid and difficult to live with. \nTICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE (even though it may say “This event has passed below”).

SUMMARY:Individuation Hijacked: Persona and Hero in an Evolving Universe
DESCRIPTION:“The energy of the central point is manifested in the almost irresistible compulsion and urge to become what one is\, just as every organism is driven to assume the form that is characteristic of its nature\, no matter what the circumstances.” \nJung believed that we have a compulsive urge toward individuation\, an irresistible drive to become whole. We tend to identify this urge primarily with the realization of our authentic\, true self\, free of external interference. But another essential aspect of individuation\, our need for connection\, community and service\, requires us to use a persona\, a mask representing a limited part of the true self. The capacity to create and use persona is sometimes hijacked to prove our worth in the world\, to avoid feelings of shame and insecurity.  The original intent\, engagement with community\, is lost. \nThis talk will explore what true individuation requires of us in terms of persona: that we return to the original intent of the mask\, discern what we’re called to cultivate in our personality\, and what role we play in an evolving and self-organizing universe. \nTICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE (even though it may say “This event has passed below”).

SUMMARY:Character\, like a Photograph\, Develops in Darkness:  Views from the Shadow - Fall Analyst Seminar
DESCRIPTION: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. \nHow 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. \nWe 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. \n(Image from C.G. Jung\, The Red Book\, p. 115)\n\n \nDates and Times\n\nSundays from 1:00 – 3:00 pm\n\nSchedule\n\nSept 20\, 2020 – Jim Soliday\nSept 27\, 2020 – Jim Soliday\nOct 4\, 2020 – Jim Soliday\nOct 11 2020 – Laura Gonce & Carol Walnum\nOct 25\, 2020 – Laura Gonce & Carol Walnum\nNov 1\, 2020 – Laura Gonce & Carol Walnum\n\nCost\n\n12 hours of instruction: $195 (OFJ members: $185)\nSorry\, we are unable to offer refunds.\nContinuing Education Credits are available\, with one hour of CE credit for each hour of attendance.

SUMMARY:Jung\, Synchronicity and the New Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Jung had a deep interest in how modern science related to psyche. He worked closely with physicist Wolfgang Pauli to explore how psyche and matter are interconnected\, in particular with regard to synchronicity. The discoveries of quantum physics\, relativity theory and complex systems theory have radically revised how we see and know our world. We will explore the essential dimensions of the ‘new’ sciences and how they intersect with Jungian psychology. We will consider how life is rich in potentialities and parallel possibilities. We then discuss how synchronicity arises in our lives\, and how the unconscious dwells in a realm outside of time and space. Film stories will be used to explore these various concepts.

SUMMARY:Listening to Jung in These Troubling Times
DESCRIPTION:We find ourselves in the midst of a global pandemic with great loss and tremendous suffering. We fear for our safety and wonder what the future will bring? When will we get back to ‘normal?’ Do we want to return to business-as-usual? The pandemic has derailed our lives in so many ways and ever present is the continued threat of climate disruption. What does Jungian psychology have to teach us in these troubling times? Carl Jung also lived through troubling times. He recognized the importance of living both in the spirit of the times as well as the spirit of the depths\, for soul dwells in both of these worlds. In this presentation\, we explore how Jung viewed world threatening situations that penetrated the psyches of individuals. We dive down into the spirit of the depths to uncover the root cause of our imbalances in the world\, be it pandemic or environmental destruction. We consider how Jungian depth psychology can bring a sense of meaning and order to what is happening in the world. We also consider how we can use Jung’s ideas to help us work with and through these troubling times.

SUMMARY:The Racial Complex: From Devious Path to Healing Journey
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Webinar\nAug 16\, 1:00-2:30pm PDT\nFree to 2019/20 and 2020/21 OFJ members\n$20 general admission\nRegister/Purchase\nCEUs are NOT available – we will resume in September with regular season events \nIn her new book\, The Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race\, Jungian analyst\, author\, and poet Fanny Brewster writes boldly about the racial complex we all carry\, individually and as a culture. \nC.G. Jung said that our psychological complexes are like devious paths that often lead us astray.  As we encounter the constellation of racial complexes on both individual and collective levels we find ourselves seeking ways of healing. \nIn this special program with Dr. Brewster\, twice before presenter at Oregon Friends of Jung\, the conversation will focus on identifying features of the racial complex and how we can find deeper understanding towards psychological healing. Dr. Brewster will offer opening remarks and insights and then invite questions and conversation.

SUMMARY:Featured Streaming Lecture – July 2020
DESCRIPTION:This spring and summer we’ll be sharing with you a monthly selection from OFJ’s 45+ year collection of our past programs. We hope you’ll find them timely and resonant. \nSamuel Kimbles – Between the World and Me: Where the Wild Things Live \nlecture given November 8\, 2019 \n \nOur historical moment has us unconsciously living out the reality of a split between the psyche (personal) and the sociopolitical world. We locate emotional suffering in the individual and his/her immediate relationships\, dismissing social context to a ‘mere’ backdrop and diminishing its major contribution to our psychological health. With such a perspective we lose the opportunity to create and use the potential space in cultural life for engaging and processing the most pressing problems of our times: racism\, sexism\, gender\, poverty\, class social justice\, and the traumatogenic environment of uncertainty\, pain and suffering they create for all of us. \nIn this talk Sam Kimbles addresses a way of thinking and working with the kinds of issues that cut across the artificial divide between inner and outer. Two stories from literature serve as his springboards for this evening’s talk:  Maurice Sendak\, Where the Wild things Are; and Ta-Nehisi Coates\, Between the World and Me. He uses these texts to look at destructive attitudes in our culture that reflect issues that challenge us all.

SUMMARY:Soul\, Psyche\, Projection
DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century both Freud and Jung noted that projections of our deep emotions of fear and desire\, our wishes for nurturance and ambitions for power ceased to be directed to the heavens and the God of various religious traditions. That human striving and loving fell out of the heavens. Where did all that energy go?  Freud saw this as liberation from religious tradition and its restrictive thinking. What we need is “secular ministers of the soul” (Bettleheim 1982\, 35). Jung referred to himself as “a psychiatrist (“doctor of soul”) (1963\, 349). The issue was not to get rid of religion but for people to see the link between sacred images of religions and “equivalent images lying dormant in their own unconscious….to facilitate this inner vision we must first clear the way  for the faculty of seeing…making contact with the psyche.”(CW12 12). Both retained the idea of soul\, and added the necessity of psyche. Projection is as basic to psyche as breathing is to the body. We will explore in lecture and discussion six meanings of projection\, drawing on selected psychoanalytic theorists emphasizing Jung’s distinct contributions to understanding dissolution and integration of projection of personal material\, and  how projections of archetypal material must find a collective location.

SUMMARY:Soul Lost and Found
DESCRIPTION:In the West\, attention to spiritual and mental life originally was subsumed under the Care of Souls\, like one full river of religious and psychological currents blended indistinguishably. The soul was tended under care of spiritual mentors within or pushing the boundaries of traditional religions. In the early 20th century\, the river forked into two and depth psychology emerged as a separate discipline unfolding since in the proliferating schools of psychoanalysis. We will explore psyche\, soul\, spirit and the subversive persistence of soul as part of healing. Contra all announced certainties that we have entered a post-religious\, even post-spiritual\, era\, recent decades show instead that soul concerns have infiltrated politics\, fundamentalisms of all kinds\, and work with the psyche. The soul refuses to be refused. People come to clinicians with an eye to soul as well as psyche because they feel their soul living has been lost. They seek aliveness from a deep place within that radiates outward to shared existence with others and links to something more\, however various descriptions of that may be. What became two rivers that seemingly forked into separate directions\, now flow towards each other into one again. We will explore this co-existing of psyche and soul currents. We need both facing our unconscious and our soul that dwells in our body\, our psyche-soma\, and links to collective life and to the meaningful\, mysterious aliveness at the heart of life.

DESCRIPTION:What is it that grabs and compels us unexpectedly\, causing us to think and act in ways that don’t fit with how we see ourselves or how we want to be? \nHow can we deal with these impulses and obsessions\, and how can we find a way to relate to them rather than trying in vain to shut them out? \nHow can this energy become a source of creative revitalization and enrichment for our lives going forward? \nIn this seminar\, Bonnie McLean and Mark Girard will take turns exploring Jung’s discovery and understanding of autonomous complexes. We will consider his use of the association experiment\, the components of complexes\, their clues in images\, dreams\, sensations\, thoughts\, behaviors and relationships. Through play and discussion\, we will look at the value of integrating these split off parts and how to nurture this individuation process. \nDates and Times\nThere will be two seminars meeting on the same day\, if the minimum of 10 people sign up for each seminar.  Please sign up for and plan to attend one of them. \n\nSeminar I:  Sundays from 1:00 – 3:00 pm\nSeminar II: Sundays from 5:00 – 7:00 pm\n\nSchedule\n\nFeb. 2\, 2020 – Bonnie McLean\nFeb. 9\, 2020 –  Bonnie McLean\nFeb. 16\, 2020 – Bonnie McLean\nMar. 1\, 2020 – Mark Girard\nMar. 8\, 2020 – Mark Girard\nMar. 15\, 2020 – Mark Girard\n\nCost\n\n12 hours of seminar instruction: $195 (OFJ members: $185)\nSorry\, we are unable to offer refunds.\nContinuing Education Credits are available\, with one hour of CE credit for each hour of attendance.

SUMMARY:The Myth of Narcissus
DESCRIPTION:We first explore the make-up of the puella/puer\, that archetype of perennial youth prevalent in the Western world. The intense energy and appeal of the puella/puer often masks a more fragile personality\, unrealistic\, fantasy driven\, easily dissembled\, immature and untouched. This person lives an ‘as-if’ life\, blocked by a persona adaptation from accessing basic instincts. Jungian psychology is founded on the recognition that the splits in the psyche face us with questions of how we relate to otherness both within and without. Looking into the mirror as Narcissus does\, we find ourselves\, sometimes with pleasure and sometimes with a touch of horror. Could this be me? This mirror holds the shadow that we encounter\, as did Narcissus. Will we take his route? Will we ignore the feminine form of Echo? The experience of this myth\, as enacted in the classical Jungian style\, will take us down personal pathways and collective avenues. Discussion with the myth as template encourages a deepening into what we know and also have yet to discover about ourselves and relationship to others.

SUMMARY:How to Love a Narcissist
DESCRIPTION:We explore Jung’s concepts of narcissism and its appearance in the ‘as-if’ personality who struggles to connect to self and others. Intimacy is compromised\, wanted yet feared. Although the person appears enticing and confident\, the inner life is marked by perfectionism\, emotional distance and dissociation. Through dreams and composite people examples\, we explore why these people are in our lives and where in our psyche we are in the throes of narcissism rather than self-love. We will consider unfinished areas of the personality originating from early trauma\, emotional neglect\, and negative parental complexes adversely affecting confidence. Such areas promote idealization of others and destroy initiative while feeding an internalized cycle of self-hatred\, oppression and envy. How can we accept life with its creative as well as aging process and find self-love?

SUMMARY:Experiencing the Chakras
DESCRIPTION:The theory of the chakras comes from the Sanskrit tradition of India and the ancient science of kundalini yoga. When participating in meditation\, yoga\, and other forms of spiritual practices\, kundalini often rises up the astral spine and awakens us spiritually. In this workshop\, we will explore the psychological\, spiritual\, and emotional characteristics of each of the seven chakras that are located along the astral spine as we view images of their expressions in sandplay. Along with this\, we will experience their unique energy forms through guided meditations and will discuss the symptoms of and reasons behind spiritual emergencies.S

SUMMARY:The Essence of Kundalini
DESCRIPTION:As we participate in spiritual practices and inner creative work\, kundalini energy may rise up the chakras located in the astral spine and awaken us spiritually. When this happens in a contained environment\, it slowly merges the north and south poles of our being (feminine and masculine\, negative and positive) and creates a greater wholeness in our well-being. In this presentation \, we will focus on the meaning of kundalini\, its images in creative expressions as in sandplay\, and how to use our understanding of kundalini for personal change. We will then experience what kundalini may feel like through guided meditation and sound.

SUMMARY:Turning Ghosts into Ancestors through Phantom Narratives
DESCRIPTION:Intergenerational traumas are living memories that express and perpetuate themselves through group unconscious story formation i.e.\, phantom narratives. They offer us an opportunity to acknowledge\, engage\, and mourn the unresolved. Specifically\, the unprocessed violence\, both of the past and as it appears in present day sociopolitical processes. The psychological work of transforming ghosts that haunt our current lives into ancestors (helpful presences) will be our focus for this workshop.

SUMMARY:Between the World and Me: Where the Wild Things Live
DESCRIPTION:In this historical moment we unconsciously live out the reality of a split between the psyche (personal) and the sociopolitical world. Emotional suffering is located in the individual and his/her relationships. The social context is rarely acknowledged as major contribution to our psychological health as it is seen as a backdrop. Within such a perspective\, we lose the opportunity to create and use the potential space in cultural life for engaging and processing the most pressing problems of our times: racism\, sexism\, gender\, poverty\, class social justice and the traumatogenic environment of uncertainty\, pain and suffering they create for all of us. \nIn this talk Sam Kimbles will address a way of thinking and working with the kinds of issues that cut across the artificial divide between inner and outer. Two stories from literature will serve as springboards for this evening’s talk:  Maurice Sendak\, Where the Wild things Are and Ta-Nehisi Coates\,Between the World and Me will be used to look at destructive attitudes in our culture that reflect issues that challenge us all.

SUMMARY:Changing of the Gods: Weathering the Storm in an Archetypal Cosmos
DESCRIPTION:In their distinct and brilliant ways\, both C. G. Jung and James Hillman broke free of limiting modern assumptions and recognized that psyche was not confined to the human\, that it permeated all of nature\, the cosmos itself. Both also recognized the extraordinary value of astrology in shining an unexpected light on the archetypal dynamics of human life in synchronistic correlation with planetary movements. Our moment in history clearly represents a threshold of of great consequence\, and the current planetary alignments can provide us with valuable insights about the deeper impulses at work in the drama now facing the Earth community. What is the planetary situation now\, what are the historical precedents\, and how might our contemporary culture be transformed by the recognition that an intimate bond exists between the deep psyche and the cosmos? Join Richard Tarnas for a “state of the world report” on the archetypal context of our national and global moment.
