SUMMARY:Forging our Individual and National Character
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we’ll focus more specifically on the analytic processes involved in the transformation of narcissism. We’ll also delve into the evolutionary perspectives that emphasize the progressive development of collective empathy\, cooperation\, and altruism reflecting upon how their enhancement furthers our capacity to access choices with integrity. We’ll hold images from Kiefer as guides into the alchemical world that addresses the enlivening processes of living with the opposites. Into these reflections\, we’ll weave writing exercises\, as well as active imagination in order to explore the active presence of conscience.

SUMMARY:Forging our Individual and National Character: The Images of Anselm Kiefer as a Portal into the Nature of Conscience
DESCRIPTION:Jung offered us a compelling theory about the development of conscience. He suggested that conscience relies not only upon communal mores\, but also upon an inner voice\, upon one’s connection to the archetypal realms. He noted that these realms are often difficult to bear but that with analytic fortitude one could turn towards our shadows\, ultimately forging a psychological wholeness. It was his insistent belief that by doing so\, by turning towards the dark stirrings of the unconscious\, we integrate destructive forces that otherwise remain split off\, fueling injustice\, chaos\, and war. Jungian discourse about the emergence of conscience\, along with clinical knowledge about the transformation of narcissism and the healing power of reconciliation processes\, has further developed the idea that we can indeed forge flexible and strong character structures\, both individually and collectively. These resilient structures\, with conscience at their core\, enable us to maintain a creative relationship to the destructive forces that have the potential to cast such large shadows in our lives. These reflections will be woven into a chronological review of the works of Anselm Kiefer that detail how an integrated conscience may emerge alchemically from the patient practice of nourishing a relationship between the opposites\, individually and collectively.

SUMMARY:The Personal Myth in Turbulent Times
DESCRIPTION:In 1913 Jung asked himself this question: “What is my myth?\,” and realized that he could not answer. Can we? First we have to understand what is meant by myth\, and then what the question itself means. Why we have to even ask this question is still another question. What is the cultural context in which we raise these questions\, and how do our personal journeys intersect with the climate of our time are still other questions. This presentation will raise these questions\, offer putative approaches\, and challenge the participant to a more thoughtful engagement.

SUMMARY:Birth of the Self
DESCRIPTION:How can analysis birth the self? \nWe will explore this question by illuminating ideas about birth. Nascent stirrings of the Self often initiate the labor of analytic work\, which can be influenced by our life stories\, including our birth story. \nBirth is a topic that is pregnant with meaning. It can be a signifier of the un-symbolized\, unimagined\, and un-experienced. It can manifest as a regressive\, developmental experience\, suffused with body or implicit memory. Birth can also act as a symbol or metaphor\, and be expressed as a second birth or rebirth. Finally\, it may emerge in the efflorescence of self-development involving a more related connection to the Self–a precursor to more complete development\, heralding transformations in being and spirit. \nThese ideas come to life through Dr. Marlo’s presentation of an emergent process of birth\, development\, and transformation from over 15 years of analysis with a woman who began analysis dissociated from her self/Self. \nUsing evocative imagery\, session dialogue\, and Dr. Marlo’s inner experience\, this workshop intimately examines what happens behind the consulting room door\, allowing participants to reflect on their experience in analysis and examine the practice of analysis and its transformative potential.

SUMMARY:Psychic Birth and Rebirth through Analysis
DESCRIPTION:“The neurosis is as a rule a pathological\, one-sided development of the personality\, the imperceptible beginnings of which can be traced back almost indefinitely into the earliest years of childhood. Only a very arbitrary judgment can say where the neurosis actually begins. If we were to relegate the determining cause as far back as the patient’s prenatal life\, thus involving the physical and psychic disposition of the parents at the time of conception and pregnancy—a view that seems not at all improbable in certain cases—such an attitude would be more justifiable than the arbitrary selection of a definite point of neurotic origin in the individual life of the patient” (Jung\, CW 16\, 257-258). \n“The whole life of the individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself; indeed\, we should be fully born when we die.” Erich Fromm \nBirth and rebirth are powerful themes that can shape a person’s development within analysis at any age and stage of life. They contain timeless and profound archetypal and developmental meanings that stimulate our development and relationship to the Self. This lecture will focus on ideas regarding birth and rebirth\, and their expression in analysis. The ways that analysis can give birth to the self will come to life through imagery\, session dialogue\, and Dr. Marlo’s inner experience in her work with a patient who experienced psychic birth through analysis.

SUMMARY:Individuation\, Impermanence\, Imperfection
DESCRIPTION:Individuation is Carl Jung’s term for finding meaning and purpose in life. How do you know when you are on the right path? Why do big ideas about achievement and enlightenment just get in the way? When can you trust your inner guide and when must you apply discipline and ethics to curb the urgings of unruly instincts? Jung believed we find meaning through the struggle with confounding oppositions\, such as good/evil\, love/hate\, inner/outer. In this workshop we will relate Jungian psychology to the Zen perspective of Wabi-Sabi. We will explore the necessity and beauty of flaws and failings\, of things modest and humble. Lecture\, discussion\, and practical exercises will help cultivate appreciation for what is impermanent\, imperfect\, and unfinished in life. \nSuggested Reading: Wabi-Sabi: for Artists\, Designers\, Poets & Philosophers by Leonard Koren

SUMMARY:Living a Conscious Life
DESCRIPTION:What makes a conscious life? Before becoming conscious\, things just happen. When we challenge habits and patterns that constrain our lives\, we begin to find inner authority; life gains greater choice\, purpose\, and meaning. Even those aspects of experience that we don’t want and would never choose\, can be made meaningful. This lecture explores how to claim inner authority\, navigate change\, loss\, and suffering\, and step into the journey of a lifetime — becoming who you truly are.

SUMMARY:Self-organization\, Emergence and Synchronicity in Analytical Psychology
DESCRIPTION:Many of us have experienced synchronicities without truly having tools to grasp what underlies these events. As an integral part of bringing The Red Book to a close\, Jung formulated the concept of synchronicity. We will reconsider this cosmological principle in the light of a new scientific paradigm. The study of complex adaptive systems\, in particular\, affords a unique opportunity to reassess and revise several of Jung’s key concepts\, including synchronicity\, in line with his own evolving model of the psyche. In this workshop we will review and apply these concepts to experiences of the interactive field in analysis. We will observe self-organizing processes in analysis which lead to experiences of emergence in which what happens goes beyond the sum of the contributions by either analyst or analysand. In this vein\, we will draw upon clinical presentation of the use of empathy\, enactments\, parallel processes and moments of complexity\, including synchronistic occurrences within the context of analysis.

SUMMARY:Synchronicity: Nature & Psyche in an Interconnected Universe
DESCRIPTION:What are the academic and scientific roots of Jung’s psychology? How does his psychology hold up today? Jung’s 1912 Fordham lectures on the “Theory of Psychoanalysis” represent Jung’s growing theoretical differentiation from Freud. Soon after delivering these lectures\, Jung resigned his position at the University of Zurich (in 1914) and did not fully resume academic work until 1933. In between these periods Jung underwent the inner experiences that led to the development of The Red Book. \nExamination and comparison of these two periods reveal a tremendous shift in emphasis on what constituted science for Jung. In this lecture we will look at this shift and how Jung’s experiences leading to The Red Book were integral to this change. The scientific tradition associated with the German Romantic movement is key to understanding Jung’s transition. His rich friendship with Wolfgang Pauli\, as well as the rise of the New Sciences of Field Theory\, also influenced Jung’s model of the psyche and his contributions on Synchronicity. We will explore the resurging interest\, re-valuation\, and further understanding of Jung’s contributions in light of some branches of contemporary science\, especially Complexity Theory with its concept of Emergence\, and epigenetics\, the study of non-DNA transmission of hereditary information\, as a form of somatic\, collective memory.

SUMMARY:The Intelligence of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:In this daylong workshop\, John Beebe will demonstrate how dreams illuminate the unexamined assumptions that shape and limit our conscious attitudes. Illustrating with his own dreams and dreams volunteered by participants\, Dr. Beebe will reveal how Jung’s theory of psychological types is a key to understanding and benefitting from dreams.  We will also explore how transpersonal\, cultural aspects of dreams may speak not only to us but also through us. \nThis workshop is suitable for therapists and for individuals who want to break through to a deeper engagement with their dreams.

SUMMARY:Objectivity in Dreams
DESCRIPTION:What kind of intelligence guides our dreams? What is its purpose? Drawing on more than thirty-five years experience helping analytic clients\, Jungian analyst John Beebe will guide us in an exploration of how and why our dreams have an objectivity of vision that we can rarely muster in waking life and how our inborn psychological orientation is both reflected and compensated in the dream world.

SUMMARY:Jungian Psychology and Analysis As Psycho-Spiritual Event\, As Religious Occasion
DESCRIPTION:Three question to be addressed in this lecture/workshop: \nHow is Jungian psychology/analysis sacramental\, what is the liminal territory of its operations? \nHow is Jungian psychology/analysis a safe haven for the irrational\, deep feminine\, and earth centered healing technologies so often banned by metrics profession? \nHow to preserve this legacy psychology and soul craft in this era of corporatist culture and craft; preserve and enhance it for its broader re-discovery in a more enlightened era?

SUMMARY:Jungian Psychology and Analysis As Psycho-Spiritual Event\, As Religious Occasion
DESCRIPTION:“All life is bound to carriers who realize it\, and it is simply inconceivable without them. But every carrier is charged with an individual destiny and destination\, and the experiencing of these alone makes sense of life”.\n– C.G.Jung \nIn recent years there has been a drift in the philosophical envelope of Jungian analysis. It is a significant frame adjustment\, a movement away from seeing analysis as metaphysical craft to experiencing depth therapy as scientific craft\, as empirical enactment. \nThis presentation suggests that the core\, unique aspect of Jungian psychology and analysis in this age of increasing metric profession\, psychology by the numbers\, is its fundamental psycho-spiritual orientation\, its essential anchoring in liminal realms. This multi-media presentation will use film\, art\, and masked clinical example to attempt a contribution toward this rehabilitation of craft\, this re-visioning of Jungian psychology and analytic vocation as religious event\, as sacramental occasion. A brief concluding aside will allude to the growing planetary dimensions of this psychology and craft\, stressing the urgency of reconnecting to the Anima Mundi spirit so wounded at the core of contemporary individual and collective psyche. \nFriday night’s lecture will lay out an overview of the model\, while Saturday’s session will deepen and amplify the material through interactive play with the presented media examples. \n“Whatever spirituality is\, we know from our glimpses along the frontier with the transcendent that it wants to step over into living”.\n– Ann Belford Ulanov

SUMMARY:Exploring Medial Intuition
DESCRIPTION:Laurie Layton Schapira is the author of The Cassandra Complex: Living with Disbelief. The book views the Greek myth of Cassandra as an archetypal image of afflicted medial (mediumistic) intuition and how it has manifested as hysteria during the patriarchal era. Now on the brink of the New Age\, we need to heal this crucial feminine function. \nIn this workshop\, through discussion and experiential exercises\, we will explore the nature of medial intuition.

SUMMARY:Change Your Story\, Change Your Life
DESCRIPTION:All of us have stories about our lives. This lecture focuses on how we can change our lives by changing how we relate to our stories. We can use tools from shamanism and Jungian psychology to step outside of our daily routines and review our life stories. Then\, we can use shamanic and Jungian strategies to make changes\, bring our spiritual practices into everyday life\, and manifest a new story. \n\nDiscuss the problem of being “stuck” in our stories.\nDescribe practices for ascertaining “what is” in our current story\, what we would like it to be\, obstacles to change\, and ways to relate to transpersonal realms to gain energy and information to make changes.\nDiscuss what shamanism is about and the usefulness of Jungian languaging.\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nBecome familiar with ways to engage our current story and dream a new one into being using our rational and nonrational minds\nBecome familiar with ways to engage transpersonal realms using shamanic and Jungian practices to gain energy and information for change\nBetter understand elements of shamanism and Jungian psychology and how they can be used in the practice of clinical social work

SUMMARY:Emotion: The Moving Force of Experience
DESCRIPTION:There is no experience without emotion. Our daily lives\, our nightly dreams; our interior realities and outer relationships; our fantasies\, myths\, and religions; our arts and sciences; careers and investments – all are informed by emotion. From ancestral times to the here and now of today\, emotions initiate our actions\, infuse our musings\, and fashion the narratives of our lived and unlived lives. It is essential that we know and recognize our universal survival-enhancing emotions\, and the social emotions of our particular surrounds.

SUMMARY:The Body as Shadow: Listening to the Somatic Unconscious
DESCRIPTION:Jung observed repeatedly that transformation can only take place “if we are in our bodies\, otherwise it is like the wind blowing in the desert.”  The body is often regarded as mechanical and unimportant; although there is now renewed interest in sensori-motor research\, the imaginal\, and the body-psyche connection.  In this experiential workshop\, we will learn to listen to the somatic unconscious through non-directed\, mindful oriented movement.  Movement\, image\, memory and sensation will guide us to a healthy dialogue with the shadow.  Drawing\, writing\, and sharing will help to anchor our experience in consciousness where our truth can be honored and not interpreted. \nNo prior experience with this method is required to participate. Please where comfortable clothes for moving and a pillow or backjack to sit on and your lunch. \nSATURDAY WORKSHOP ATTENDANCE IS LIMITED TO 30 PARTICIPANTS AND SCRIP WILL NOT BE PERMITTED FOR USE.

SUMMARY:Jung\, Spirituality\, and the Body
DESCRIPTION:The individuation process demands that we return to our personal unconscious and our archetypal roots.  Jung invites us to honor and understand archetypal forces that push into consciousness from the somatic unconscious. This lecture will investigate the importance of witnessing and working with archetypal energies when they emerge through embodiment. These experiences are often pathologized\, although they have been experienced\, observed\, and discussed since the beginning of human history.  How can we have a creative relationship with them?

SUMMARY:Slender Threads: Our Connection to the Deeper and Greater Aspect of Being
DESCRIPTION:Slender connecting threads are at work in all our lives\, guiding and shaping us. This program explores the value and process of paying attention to those subtle\, invisible influences (sometimes called fate\, the hand of God\, or unconscious processes) as they appear in dreams\, synchronicities\, relationships\, run-ins\, symptoms\, and physical illness. We will discuss the necessary role of ego in monitoring and filtering the impact of these influences. A mod of Presence will be presented that includes awareness of body\, mind\, heart\, and action.

SUMMARY:Building Conscious Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Individuation\, reaching our fullest potential\, is a natural process for every human being. Like plants\, we blossom and thrive given the right environment. That environment is always some form of relationship – whether with spouses\, family members\, friends\, intimate partners\, or even colleagues. We will consider the changing nature of relationships\, the necessity of conflict\, and how to utilize the difference of the “other” as a sacrament (an outward form of inner grace).

SUMMARY:Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives

SUMMARY:Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives
DESCRIPTION:Our ancestors believed in ghosts\, and perhaps they were not far off the mark as so much of daily life is driven by invisible psychic forces\, archaic agendas\, and imperious admonitions and prohibitions\, all the more powerful because they operate unconsciously.  What are the features of such “hauntings\,” and how might we gain some further foothold on a more conscious conduct of life?

SUMMARY:Eros in Our Lives
DESCRIPTION:We will learn about how Eros shows up in our lives and something about the brain and Eros. We will be encouraged to explore how Eros has driven\, burdened\, frightened\, controlled\, enlivened\, and humbled us. We will reflect on dreams and experiences of Eros\, plus previous or present attractions/crushes\, and will learn what Eros has to teach us as we fall into its grip. How do we move through this energy and glean its gifts that set our souls on fire\, yet not let it destroy us?
