SUMMARY:How to Recognize the Eight Function-Attitudes: An Approach to Psychological Typing
DESCRIPTION:To recognize at first glance the true “psychological type” of a person one is starting to get to know is no doubt a knack\, but to be able to identify the particular kind of consciousness that the person is presenting at a given moment of interaction is something that can be learned. The eight-function\, eight-archetype model of the types that John Beebe has developed greatly facilitates this learning. With the aid of clips from classic American film\, Dr. Beebe will demonstrate how this model can enable us to recognize each of the eight “functions of consciousness” that Jung described in his 1921 classic\, Psychological Types. The systematic use of Dr. Beebe’s new model\, developing Jung’s theory for our time\, is a good way to assess the results of taking an MBTI paper and pencil instrument to see if the test findings really match the conscious orientation of the person. \nTaking us into his cinematic workshop\, Dr. Beebe will share with us how he determines that one function-attitude and not another is being presented to us on the screen at a particular moment. He will show how he then goes about assessing that consciousness using Jung’s typology. He will present some telling examples of how particular archetypes colors the presentation of a particular function\, such as feeling\, thinking\, intuition\, or sensation\, and its attitude\, extraversion or introversion\, often so much as to make it seem like some other function and attitude. The goal of this daylong event is to sharpen the audience’s talent for type recognition.

SUMMARY:Trauma and Psychic Creativity
DESCRIPTION:One of the most remarkable capacities of the psyche is its ability to manage traumatic experiences. Taking as examples major innovative works of art from the history of painting and film\, Dr. Beebe will illustrate the strategies the psyche adopts when forced to manage its sense of violation and disillusionment through creativity. He will then relate the solutions endorsed by artists in times of cataclysmic social upheaval\, with the choices analytic patients sometimes are able to make when faced with overwhelming life events.

SUMMARY:Many are Called – But How to Answer?
DESCRIPTION:The word “vocation” means “a calling\,” experienced as an inner voice that prompts us to follow a certain path in life. But “vocation” is more than an occupational aptitude or career path; it involves a sense of Destiny\, of purposefulness – not merely blind Fate –that deepens our sense of self as we grow older. Jung’s theory of individuation suggests that we are each “called” to become distinct personalities\, to become conscious of ourselves and our differences\, both interpersonal and intrapersonal. But how can we answer this call in a world pressing more insistently for conformity for safety’s sake? What sort of heroism and personal responsibility is required for us to both hear and answer psyche’s call?

SUMMARY:Seabiscuit:  The Little Horse that Could\, and Did\, and Still Does
DESCRIPTION:The word “hero” is so broadly used in our day that it begins to lose its mythic sense. But the mythic Hero – larger than life and required to accomplish impossible tasks at great risk\, bringing hope and redemption to lesser mortals – stands in an important relationship to the Self. Implied in the Hero’s grand mission are ideas of personal responsibility and vocation\, two themes we meet frequently in Jung’s theory of individuation but do not often examine. This presentation\, illustrated with film clips from the feature film\, Seabiscuit\, will invite conversation about the collective psychological phenomenon that was a horse named Seabiscuit – a true mythic Hero\, and the human partners who engaged with him in a mutual process of transformation.

SUMMARY:Writing: The Door In
DESCRIPTION:Using innovative techniques inspired by Natalie Goldberg and Julia Cameron in their presentations on creative writing\, as well as Tess Castleman’s own approach devised from fifteen years of conducting writing seminars\, workshop participants will engage in an experiential writing process drawing upon their inner world. Participants will benefit from giving expression to their own voices\, especially if they have been told that writing is not one of their talents or special abilities. (They will not be required to read their writing to the group\, but will be given the opportunity to do so if they choose to.) During the day\, a series of different exercises will guide us as we travel into the labyrinth of our inner resources to discover potentials that generally are unknown to us and largely untapped in our lives. Please bring journals or notebooks\, at least two pens\, or a laptop to record the results of our exploration.

SUMMARY:Creativity: The Holy Other as Transcendent Healer in Analysis\, Community and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Although neither traditional nor radically alternative\, creative expression in Jungian analysis arises as the third transcendent healing opportunity\, completing the dyad of analyst and analysand. This creative third can be a dream or an active imagination\, sometimes in the form of a work of art\, sometimes not\, but always expressing the transcendent function of the Self in its creative play of the tension of opposites. Using examples from clinical cases\, social experiments\, and excerpts from the films of the Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa\, the function of creativity will be explored both on a personal basis and in its larger collective and cultural role in our societies and our world community.

SUMMARY:The Crises and Conflicts of Spiritual Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Jung wrote\, “The experience of the Self is always a defeat for the ego.” Since spiritual awakening offers a direct challenge to the primacy of ego consciousness and the myth of separation\, it is no surprise that such a challenge can produce a period of confusion and unbalance. Jung himself endured such a crisis. His ego was overwhelmed by an infusion of spiritual energies\, which at first he was unable to integrate. We find warnings about perils on the path in most spiritual traditions. Becoming attached to various powers or siddhis\, preoccupation with inner visions\, splitting between “higher” and “lower” parts of the personality\, ego-inflation and deflation are examples of how spiritual awakening can go awry. We will contemplate Jung’s own crisis of spiritual emergence and discuss how to recognize and work with psychospiritual conflicts in ourselves. Psychotherapists will find this workshop pertinent to their daily work.

SUMMARY:The Coming of Light at Times of Darkness
DESCRIPTION:Tonight we celebrate the coming of the holiday season. The Winter Solstice\, the longest night and the shortest day of the year\, is a symbol of the coming of light when the powers of darkness are at their strongest. Darkness eventually gives way to light\, just as dark nights of the soul soften our egos and lift our faces to the Self. Moreover\, if we ponder them from the perspective of Sufi\, esoteric Christian\, and related paths\, darkness and light also refer to states of consciousness that are healing if we access them. Darkness is the holding\, containing Mother-Father consciousness\, sometimes called the Absolute\, which gives birth to Light\, symbol of the Holy Child and the essential Self of every human being. Tonight\, Dr. Wittine will describe these states of consciousness by drawing on Jungian theory\, esoteric teachings\, and experiences of people doing inner work. He will also discuss techniques of meditation to help us enter these states. The Crises and Conflicts of Spiritual Awakening.

SUMMARY:An Unlikely Heroine
DESCRIPTION:Together\, we will watch Dangerous Beauty\, the story of a sixteenth century Venetian courtesan who has been tutored in the fine art of lovemaking\, poetry and conversation. Ironically\, it is she who is uniquely positioned to stand on her own long enough to be valued for herself\, providing a remarkable role model for those of us in search of feminine strength. In our discussion of the film\, we will delve deeper to excavate the too easily idealized\, then quickly maligned\, but very precious archetypal feminine. This is not just a women’s issue! Men and women alike are suffering the severe consequences of a marginalized feminine. We all carry a form of the feminine within and are better off if we have a good relationship to Her. So\, men\, please feel welcome; you are sorely needed in this discussion.

SUMMARY:Oh\, Sister Where Art Thou?
DESCRIPTION:We live in a remarkable time\, a time in which our intellectual prowess is unsurpassed and seems to grow in leaps and bounds. We can soar to the moon\, design life in a test tube and condense the entire encyclopedia into a tiny chip. Our brains are in overdrive and yet\, something is sorely missing. Some characterize this element that is lacking as a HER – a more feminine way of being. Despite years of progress within the women’s movement\, the breadth and depth of the feminine archetype has plenty of wilderness yet to be explored. By Her very nature\, She is hard to describe – emotional\, relational\, closer to the instinctual and natural worlds. Rather than trying to get to know Her\, we prefer to tame\, control and manage Her. She complies as She adapts\, adorns and abdicates Her own genuine authority. And everybody loses. What sets Her apart? Why is She so easily demonized? What are we afraid of? What is your relationship to the feminine? How do you respond to the feminine in others? How can we help Her thrive in this world?

SUMMARY:Pathways to the Numinous
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will explore the Divine Within via an extensive survey of spiritual paths\, including Zen Buddhism through the Ox-Herding Pictures\, Hinduism through Kundalini yoga\, and Judaism through the Kabbalah. By examining various spiritual paths in depth\, discovering their similarities and differences in spirit\, we may be able to see our own path more clearly. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from and share with a learned and devoted investigator of world religions and psychology. Lively discussion is expected.

SUMMARY:Pathways to the Numinous
DESCRIPTION:Christians honor God on their knees\, Jews rock back and forth on their heels\, Muslims prostrate themselves\, and all thereby connect with what Jung called the numinous. There are similarities and differences among religious practices that awaken numinosity\, mirrored in our images of their founders – Moses climbing a mountain\, Jesus walking through crowds\, Mohammed on his steed\, and the Buddha seated in meditation. In this lecture Dr. Spiegelman will present brief examples of the ways followers of various spiritual paths experience the numinous: the Taoist from “within”\, the Muslim “among” other Muslims during the Hajj\, “between” in alchemy\, while the Hindu finds it all “around” through nature\, art\, music\, and synchronicity.

SUMMARY:The Practice of Ally Work
DESCRIPTION:One of C.G. Jung’s greatest contributions to contemporary spiritual practice was his reintroduction of active imagination\, a method by which one can encounter the world of the unconscious normally accessible only in dreams. Building on Jung’s ideas\, Dr. Raff has developed a series of exercises and practices by which one can not only encounter the inner world\, but reach beyond the psyche to experience psychoidal entities – spiritual beings who have a life of their own and do not belong to the psyche. In particular\, Dr. Raff has developed practices through which one can encounter and create a relationship with one’s ally. As the personal and unique expression of the divine\, the ally is a combination of guide\, divine lover\, and psychopomp.

SUMMARY:The Two Faces of Enlightenment
DESCRIPTION:In almost every spiritual tradition there appear two aspects of the Divine: the immanent and the transcendent. Although some traditions favor one or the other of these faces of God\, most try to find a means of uniting them. The immanent face of God looks to the world and seems involved in our daily lives\, while the transcendent face looks away from the world and seems unconcerned with normal day to day life. Both aspects reflect truth about divine reality\, but also about the needs of the human psyche. For the psyche to experience its own awakening and fulfillment\, it needs to discover two forms of enlightenment: one that unites it with the immanent and one with the transcendent. Dr. Raff will address these two forms of enlightenment in this lecture from both a theoretical and practical perspective.

SUMMARY:Personal and Cultural Complexes
DESCRIPTION:“Private and public cannot be separated.” – James Hillman \nAccording to Jung\, personal complexes are “splinter psyches.” One implication of this is that as individuals we disavow parts of ourselves when a complex is activated within our psyches. This is a common occurrence for all of us\, as complexes express themselves in powerful moods\, affects\, repetitive behaviors and tones of voice and body language.The disavowed part of ourselves is typically projected onto others. Jung frequently asserted that a complex is a natural\, essential ingredient of psychological life. But we often suffer with our complexes as they cause intrapsychic and interpersonal unrest in our lives. Consciously reclaiming\, integrating\, and healing our personal complexes is a curious and demanding life task\, but one necessary for our individuation process. \nThe dictionary defines a culture as “the way of life of a people\,” and Jung frequently asserted that a complex is a natural\, essential ingredient of psychological life. San Francisco analysts\, Kimbles and Singer\, have formulated the concept of the cultural complex. Their new perspective asserts that a group or culture has a psyche\, similar to the individual psyche\, and that within the collective psyche complexes can manifest. These manifestations can cause chaos and danger\, but this modern development of Jung’s complex theory also holds the hope that we may eventually understand the forces of conflict\, acknowledge and own our group participation in the complex\, and transform the complex into a collaborative and peaceful resolution. While this hope may seem idealistic\, a new vision of how groups relate with one another is imperative for an individuation process to occur within cultures.Without this vision we will continue to operate within the age-old perils. In this lecture and workshop\, Dr Hone will identify and illustrate with slides the nature of personal and cultural complexes and how they are enacted in our everyday lives as well as in the global arena. She will explore how we project the disowned parts of ourselves onto our spouses\, children\, bosses and onto other races\, religions and genders. In dialogue with the participants in the workshop\, Dr Hone will demonstrate how it is possible to reclaim the disavowed parts of our psyches and she will demonstrate how differentiation of complexes can clarify and give meaning to the individual and collective confusion in our psyches and lives.

SUMMARY:The Symbolic Life\, Preparation and Practice
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, Dr. Stein will give an overview of the methods for pursuing the symbolic life\, i.e.\, the individuation process. This will include Jung’s dream hermeneutic and the method of active imagination. He will give comments on the historical background of this work\, the method of active imagination as used in analysis\, and how to do active imagination\, with exercises.

SUMMARY:The Opus of Individuation
DESCRIPTION:Within the Jungian framework of understanding\, living a symbolic life is equivalent to engaging consciously in the individuation process. The Friday evening lecture is entitled\, consequently\, “the Opus of Individuation.” This talk will focus on the two great movements of the individuation process\, the analytic and the synthetic. The first has to do with “preparation\,” or “clearing the ground” of complexes\, identifications\, and fixations\, in order to make room for new psychological development. The second takes up the task of integrating elements of the collective unconscious into identity and behavior. The methods for doing this are primarily dream interpretation\, and the practice of active imagination. The talk will include examples.

SUMMARY:Jung Embodied
DESCRIPTION:This experiential weekend will explore elements from Marion Woodman’s BodySoul approach and “embodied active imagination\,” rooted in the work of C.G. Jung. \nOn Friday\, the presenters (Tina Stromsted and Meg Wilbur) will discuss theoretical aspects of Jung’s and Woodman’s work. They will highlight significant learnings from their extensive participation and training with Marion Woodman at her Intensives\, informed by their own unique backgrounds in dance\, theater\, Jungian and Somatic Psychology. \nSaturday offers an opportunity to explore these theories in practice\, deepening our connection to mind and body. Such work supports the reawakening of resonant consciousness in our cells\, invites the play of imagination\, and promotes integration through embodied dreamwork\, movement\, and voice\, enhanced by music and art. \nAuthentic Movement is a gentle\, natural means to nurture oneself\, connect with buried energies\, and unfold one’s inner dance. Simple exercises in freeing the voice involve relaxation\, breath\, and sound to help release one’s authentic voice. These creative processes do not involve performance\, and are attuned to the needs of the individual. \nCome explore “Jung embodied” through these gateways to the unconscious!

SUMMARY:“I Alone Must Become Myself; I Cannot Become Myself Alone."
DESCRIPTION:Relationships are paradoxical. We move from dependence\, to independence\, to interdependence\, to inner-dependence. In this day together\, we will discuss the quaternity of relationships; Mother\, Father\, Other and Self\, and the psychological dimension of these paradoxes.

SUMMARY:Inner and Outer Marriage
DESCRIPTION:Jung wrote profoundly of the “Hieros Gamos\,” or sacred marriage. This lecture will address the aspects of this spiritual and psychological relationship called marriage. This reflection will benefit any person who is in any type of outer world relationship. Ultimately the only relationship we have is with ourselves. Therein is where the true marriage rests\, in the inner world.

SUMMARY:The Fate of Jung’s Psychic Objectivity in an Age of Contemporary Cynicism
DESCRIPTION:The workshop contends that Jung is a marginal figure in psychotherapy because he distinguishes between a self constructed through social experience that he called personality #1\, and a self that exists prior to and apart from socialization that he called personality #2. Because the latter is not easily influenced\, it retains a capacity for psychic objectivity. Jung’s belief in psychic objectivity places him at odds with most contemporary psychotherapies\, which consider the idea of psychic objectivity as illusory at best\, and dangerous at worst. This workshop will passionately defend Jung’s notion of psychic objectivity\, contending that only the repristination of this capacity can minister to the cynicism of the postmodern mind.

SUMMARY:Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections: Troubleshooting the Post-Modern Ego-Complex
DESCRIPTION:Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections is conventionally taken to be Jung’s autobiography. This lecture presumes something different: Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections can be read as the ‘biography’ of an attitude that engages the distresses of postmodern psychological life. Jung is chronicling not only his personal development\, but also how consciousness might deal with the maturity of the ego-complex\, or its failure to mature. If consciousness does not confront this complex\, certain pathologies appear in personal and collective life\, both centered around the “presence of the absence” of the psyche’s natural religiosity. Tonight’s lecture approaches Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections as a manual on how to repristinate the psyche’s natural religiosity in an age of cynical postmodernism.

SUMMARY:Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life
DESCRIPTION:We can never be free to create our lives if we are in service to fixed\, internalized\, and largely unconscious ideas. We will engage questions which stir\, sift\, and raise consciousness of these deeply ingrained “ideas” which autonomously govern our lives. With increased consciousness comes increased possibility of the recovery of a more authentic journey. (Please bring a pad and pen for journaling).

SUMMARY:Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life
DESCRIPTION:Finding meaning in the second half of life requires asking larger questions of ourselves\, and challenging our values. To ask these questions three things are requisite: that we recover a sense of personal authority\, that we strike a better balance between obligation to others and obligation to self\, and that we construct a more mature spirituality. How do we recover our lives\, grow as persons\, and become increasingly at home with the person we are becoming?

SUMMARY:Jung\, Cosmology and the Transformation of the Modern Self
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, we will deepen this analysis while also addressing three overlapping topics: the nature of archetypes as that concept has evolved from Plato to Jung and beyond; Jung’s concept of synchronicity\, which challenged the disenchanted world view and became a major focus of his own psychospiritual practice; and the categories of “masculine” and “feminine\,” taking into account the more complex nature of those terms and of the human psyche than the simple classical polarity suggested.

SUMMARY:Jung\, Cosmology and the Transformation of the Modern Self
DESCRIPTION:The modern mind has long assumed that there are few things more categorically distant from each other than “cosmos” and “psyche.” What could be more outer than cosmos? What more inner than psyche? Are they not informed by fundamentally different kinds of principles\, the one objective\, the other subjective? \nBut developments in many fields\, from depth psychology to philosophy of science\, now oblige us to recognize that cosmos and psyche are in fact deeply intertwined. Our understanding of the universe affects every aspect of our interior life from our highest spiritual convictions to our most intimate daily experience. Conversely\, the deep dispositions of our interior life fully permeate and configure our understanding of the entire cosmos. \nThe limits of our cosmological imagination define the limits of our existence: Do we live in a disenchanted\, mechanistic\, purposeless universe as a randomly produced oddity of isolated consciousness\, or do we participate in a living cosmos of unfolding meaning and purpose? \nOn Friday evening\, drawing on the insights of Jung and others\, we will explore the evolution of the modern world-view and the forging of the modern self\, which have affected everything from contemporary religion and psychotherapy to U.S. foreign policy and the global ecological crisis.

SUMMARY:Separation\, Sorrow\, and Individuation
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will consider in depth the stages of individuation\, with particular emphasis on separation and aloneness as the initiate enters what Joseph Henderson calls “the undefined final stage.” We will follow the path of Inanna’s Descent to the Underworld\, a five thousand year old myth from ancient Iraq\, a prototype of the journey the seeker must follow. Then\, through the poetic words of an ancient initiate and devotee of Inanna\, the Sumerian high priestess Enheduanna\, we will discover who Inanna becomes after her return to the world above\, a model of completion for the seeker to observe.
