SUMMARY:Open Your Mind and Follow Your Heart: Reflections on Individuation
DESCRIPTION:This Event is Sold Out\nA Spring Seminar with PNSJA Analysts \nWe will examine the stages of Jung’s Individuation Process through the archetypes of Persona\, Shadow\, Anima/Animus\, and Self. We will explore what Jung meant by these terms and how they appear in dreams and in life. Jung had an innate understanding that the body was not separate from psyche\, but he did not find a way to embody the Individuation Process. We will take a look at an emerging understanding of the body and its integration in the process towards wholeness. We will discuss the maturity and character traits that one needs in order to determine the depth and breadth of one’s individuation process. We will conclude the seminar with a Native American tale\,  Jumping Mouse and the Sacred Mountain and what it says about individuation. \n\nSix 2-hour sessions on Sundays\, beginning March 31st to May 19th (excludes OFJ Program weekend Sundays)\nTime:  1 – 3 pm\nLocation:  OFJ Library:  811 NW 20th Ave. Portland\,  97209\nCost: $195\,  $185 for OFJ members\nLimited to 12 participants\nUp to 12 hours of CEUs available\n\nMaureen O’Donnell will lead March 31\, April 7\, April 28 \nJim Soliday will lead May 5\, May 12\, and May 19 \nRequired Reading \n\nCG Jung\, Man and His Symbols\, “The Process of Individuation” (pages 159-171).\nCG Jung.  Memories\, Dreams and Reflections\, Chapter VI—“Confrontation with the Unconscious” (pages 194-225).\nMurray Stein (1998).

In advance of the first session on 3/31\, participants are asked to read the section from Man and his Symbols\, and Chapter 5 of Jung’s Map of the Soul. \n\nFuselier\, S. & Winegarden\, D.

The Endless Practice—Becoming Who You Were Born To Be.  (this book is intended to be read in small daily pieces and then he encourages personal reflection and journaling).\nJolande Jacobi (1965).  The Way of Individuation.  (The author writes from profound personal experience about individuation. Twice in her life\, political catastrophe destroyed her economic\, social and familial environment.  When at aged thirty\, and again at fifty\, she had to create for herself a new life!  She contrasts the difference between the natural growing process and that deepened by analytical insight.  Particular emphasis is placed on the phases of transition between the first and second halves of life). (This will be PROVIDED)

SUMMARY:The World Dream
DESCRIPTION:There are a few curious dreams that many people have:  loosing teeth\, being in public without clothes\, taking a college final without having gone to class\, among others.  This seminar will explore what these dreams mean if we omit the ubiquitous response\, “Oh\, that’s just an anxiety dream.”  The dreams present information that corrects/compensates/confronts the world or culture rather than the individual; just what are these dreams telling us about our culture\, our world?  Working in groups participants will be instructed how to decode these curious universal dreams to see if insight and direction might emerge.

SUMMARY:The Little Dream that Doesn't Mean Anything
DESCRIPTION:When a dream is forgotten\, dismissed\, ignored or called names (“worthless\, a snippet\, stupid\, etc.”)\, important information is lost.  A discussion with clinical examples will explore what many miss:  the quiet beginnings of consciousness evidenced in what is often overlooked.  The beginning of a process is sacred ground to stand upon.  Alchemical parallels\, world dreams\, fairy tale imagery and elements of dreaming that are routinely misunderstood will be discussed as well.

SUMMARY:Disobedience\, Evil\, Animals and Happily Ever After in Fairy Tales
DESCRIPTION:Fantastic journeys\, heroic deeds and helpful animals are among the archetypal topics we will work and play with during the workshop. Jungian analysts have learned that attending to fairy tales can reconnect us to levels of our psyche where through the transcending function of symbols\, insight\, growth and healing can take place. Fairy tales belong in our inner nursery fostering active involvement with fantasy and creativity. Anyone dealing with the child inside one’s soul or without as parent or professional can enjoy and benefit from this workshop.

SUMMARY:The Healing Power of Fairy Tales
DESCRIPTION:Why fairy tales – Märchen?  When C.G. Jung discovered the archetypal realm of the collective unconscious\, he also found that through the ages myths\, fairy tales and legends provided a “clothing” so to speak for these\, otherwise invisible\, potentially healing psychodynamics. When we listen to fairy tales our soul is invited to journey into lands of horror and violences well as enchanting rescues and romances. The original fairy tales are ever so much more grim and violent than the Walt Disney versions we are familiar with. Fairy tales assure the listener – adult and child alike – that while evil\, danger and violence do exist\, they can be transformed. By entering into the magic of a fairy tale\, our psyche re-connects with the healing potential of the archetypal realm.

SUMMARY:Carl Jung's Red Book: Healing the Chaos
DESCRIPTION:In 1913 Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung embarked on a remarkable inner journey.  Devotedly attending to his dreams and fantasies\, for the next fifteen years Jung exquisitely calligraphed and painted the emotions and images he found within.  This record of his venture was published in 2009 in his superbly illustrated Red Book. \nAs he focused inside\, Jung was immediately inundated with inward scenes of global catastrophe—at a time when Europe spoke only of peace and prosperity.  In less than a year\, beginning in 1914\, the First World War ravaged his continent with a bloodthirst unknown to history.  Observing his heart of hearts\, Jung found vivid symbolic experiences that not only personified his personal psychology\, but also revealed the devastating war’s underlying dynamics. \nThe world now stands dangerously close to annihilating chaos\, both on the domestic and international stage.  In Friday’s lecture and Saturday’s workshop\, we will explore what Jung’s descent taught him about the turmoil orchestrating his epoch’s horror.  Despite the passing of a century\, the clarity of those lessons will guide us through precious insight into the seething cauldron of our own era. \nThis will be a multimedia presentation with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.  The presentation does not assume prior familiarity with Jung’s Red Book. \n

DESCRIPTION:This Seminar is Now Full\nPlease Contact us at info@ofj.org if you would like to be put on the waiting list.\nA Winter Seminar with PNSJA Analysts \nPain and suffering\, of whatever degree\, can leave us in the dark\, forcing us to look past conscious problem-solving to the hidden light of symbols for meaning and direction. Jung emphasized the importance of symbols as a spontaneous self-portrayal of the situation in one’s unconscious. Skillfully engaging the symbols that beckon to us just beyond the grasp of everyday consciousness can be essential for developing depth\, meaning\, and direction in our lives. Almost anything can be symbolic. In this seminar we’ll develop skills in experiencing\, associating\, amplifying and reflecting on symbols which arise in our dreams\, forms of active imagination\, drawings\, body symptoms\, day to day encounters\, and in Sandplay. All levels of experience are welcome. \n\nSix 2-hour sessions on Sundays\, beginning February 3 to March 24 (excludes OFJ Program weekend Sundays)\nTime:  1 – 3 pm\nLocation:  OFJ Library:  811 NW 20th Ave. Portland\,  97209\nCost: $195\,  $185 for OFJ members\nLimited to 12 participants\nUp to 12 hours of CEUs available\n\nMark Girard will lead February 3\, February 10\, February 24 \nBonnie McLean will lead March 3\, March 10\, and March 24 \nSuggested Reading \n\nDreams\, C.G.

SUMMARY:Mandala as a Path to Healing Our Split with the Sacred Earth
DESCRIPTION:Mandala symbols appear very frequently in moments of psychic disorientation as compensatory ordering factors. \n– C.G. Jung (CW 3\, par. 582) \n  \nJung identified the mandala as an archetypal image of wholeness. In this workshop we explore the manifold forms of mandalas\, West and East\, and how they can help us heal our split with the natural world. Mandalas make the invisible visible and are portals into deep psychic experiences. We discuss how mandalas provide a bridge between the macrocosm and the microcosm\, and how the mandalas provide a lens through which we can view our sacred world. We will learn how we can make mandala practices a part of our everyday lives.

SUMMARY:A Jungian View of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:  \nNobody can afford to look around and to wait for somebody else to do what he is loath to do himself. But since nobody seems to know what to do\, it might be worthwhile for each of us to ask himself whether by any chance his or her unconscious may know something that will help us. \n– C.G. Jung (CW 18\, par. 599) \n  \nHuman caused climate change has placed life on the planet in a precarious state. It is imperative we address this situation as soon as possible\, for the longer we wait the more we commit future generations to great disruption. Yet there is great resistance to addressing this issue\, especially within the United States. Jungian psychology provides a unique means to understand the problem of climate change for it recognizes the importance of the unconscious in our lives. In this presentation\, I explore how the dynamics of unconscious processes relate to climate change and how these processes provide pathways to addressing the problem. I consider further the current myths that lie at the root of our collective dissociation from Earth. The presentation concludes with a discussion of how to reconnect to the sacredness of Earth\, which is essential to address the issue of climate change.

SUMMARY:Dreaming Animals: Individuation in a Jungian Analysis
DESCRIPTION:By following a series of animal dreams from a profoundly creative woman artist\, we move into and through the individuation process of her eight-year analysis through her dying and conscious death.   Here we find psyche’s deep instruction\, beauty\, and assistance in life’s completion. Epiphany–the direct experience of Deity–came via dreams and in a vision of an animal before her death. This series of dreams illustrates and makes accessible the dignity and depth of Jungian Psychoanalysis. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to work with their own animal dream images.  Please bring drawing materials and journals.

SUMMARY:Dreaming Animals: Individuation in a Jungian Analysis
DESCRIPTION:… the animal is sublime and\, in fact\, represents the “divine” side of the human psyche. You remember that the purpose of the Dionysian mysteries was to bring people back to the animal…the animal within…which then forms a bridge between (her) self and the original primordial man concealed beneath the historical layers of the past… \nFollowing a series of animal dreams from a profoundly creative woman artist; we move into and through the individuation process of her eight-year analysis through her dying and conscious death.   Here we find psyche’s deep instruction\, beauty\, and assistance in life’s completion. Epiphany–the direct experience of Deity–came via dreams and in a vision of an animal before her death. I use this series of dreams as I feel that dignity and depth of Jungian Psychoanalysis are illustrated and accessible. \nThis presentation grew out of my deep interest in nature and appearance of animals in dreams and in the lives of patients over the course of forty years of practice. \nWhat is the meaning and function of animals visiting us in dreams or meeting them by chance? Which animals bring us education\, wisdom\, humor\, terror\, beauty\, and joy? Can we relate to a creature with interest? Who are we afraid? Do we dream or imagine mythical or other beings? How do we treat animals in dreams and in waking life? What is the relationship between our body and instinctual life? What does this tell us about ourselves\, about us as a society and culture?

SUMMARY:The Creative Self:  Dreams\, Secrets and Wishes - A Depth Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Our weekend together allows us to go deeply into an experience of  Jungian Dreamwork through Active Imagination.   An important aspect of engaging in dreamwork is the ability and opportunity to express unconscious material that has emerged.  Our work will involve creative expression in the Depth Writing Workshop. This gives us an experience in finding not only a way to re-enter our dreams but to use them as an avenue for discovery and re-discovery of things we may have forgotten\, lost or wish to bring into conscious awareness.  These possibilities include opening ourselves to creativity in a manner that we have only hoped for in the past.  Our ability to mirror Psyche in our dreams and creative process allows for a richness of Self-expression that can fulfill our deepest wishes. \nWe will share our dreams with one another\, and participate in deepening our individual process\, as well as participating in a group process. This will support not only our dreamwork and creativity personal growth but also provides the value of sharing and learning in a group.  This greatly supports the increase of consciousness between ego and the unconscious enhancing a more psychological and soul-filled recognition of a true Creative Self.

SUMMARY:The Shadow of Creativity
DESCRIPTION:When Jung experienced his Anima-Muse in The Red Book he declared himself to be a man of science rather than an artist.  How might we abandon our creative selves in shadow rather than allowing the light of consciousness to reach into the darkness and allow our creativity to emerge?  This emergence may be accompanied by suffering and periods of emotional growth that the ego is unwilling to experience. Yet\, as Jung did\, we see that we must continue our Psyche-led process if we are to have an authentic life.  In our discussion we will share the struggles and lessons of creativity through viewing the creative lives and works of authors as we explore and discuss avenues for developing our own creativity.

SUMMARY:What is Depth Psychology\, and Why It Matters
DESCRIPTION:How does depth psychology differ from other modalities?  How are its premises and methods of use to all of us\, whether in therapy or not?   During this workshop I will explain the three principles: its not about what it’s about; what you see is a compensation for what you don’t see; and\, its all metaphor\, and provide examples of all of these lenses for discovery and interpretation of our mythopoetic psyche.

SUMMARY:In‑Between Times:Something Gone\, Something Not Yet
DESCRIPTION:  \nWandering between two worlds\, one dead\,\nThe other powerless to be born… \n-Matthew Arnold\, 1885 \nAs individuals\, we often find ourselves in in-between times\, somewhere between a world we knew\, and a world that has not yet emerged.  These times are hours of crisis\, disorientation\, loss\, and enormous anxiety.   Similarly cultures\, eras\, civilizations go through in-between times.   Ours is such a moment in history.    How can we recover our bearings\, sustain dignity and integrity when things fall apart?   What abides amid such discontinuity?   Together we will reflect on what we may do to recover a sense of personal autonomy when our roadmap whirls from our grasp and leaves us confounded.
