SUMMARY:The Hero Journey
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Joseph Campbell’s centenary\, we will focus on what he called the monomyth. The three-fold process of 1) departure\, 2) initiation\, and 3) return\, are the essentials of the journey. One can see this formula in all myth and sacred story. Can one see this process in one’s own story? This workshop will help make us conscious of how individuation follows this formula\, in some form\, for each of us.

SUMMARY:Burn the Barn
DESCRIPTION:The Zen Poet Masahide writes: \nThe barn’s burnt down. . .\nNow I can see the moon. \nSpirituality is the deep human longing to move the transcendent into the immanent through experience and reflection. This lecture/workshop will consider the illusions the ego builds as defenses against life’s inevitable anxiety and pain. These illusions may keep us from seeing the transcendent truth\, thus leaving us dis-illusioned. What are the barns we build that keep us from seeing the moon?

SUMMARY:Active Imagination and the Living Body
DESCRIPTION:By using the body to access and express the imagination\, individuals may discover experiences that bridge the realms of body and psyche\, instinct and spirit\, affect and image\, memory and emergence. \nThis one-day workshop will introduce movement as a form of active imagination. Sometimes called “authentic movement” or “movement in depth”; we focus attention on bodily sensations\, images\, and feelings\, which are then allowed to develop into spontaneous movement. The mover works with eyes closed\, in the presence of a witness\, whose task it is to hold and contain the experience of the person moving.   Morning and afternoon sessions include lecture\, discussion and movement experience\, with special attention to the inner experience of the mover\, the inner experience of the witness and the dynamics of their relationship.  Participants are invited to bring journals and/or art materials.

SUMMARY:Emotions and the Archetypal Imagination
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will look at the nature of the emotions as they have evolved and continue to develop\, from the primal\, untransformed depths toward the highest values of human culture. The tendency in recent decades toward deconstruction of values may potentiate a compensatory development as individuals in many walks of life seek a differentiated experience of affects and their symbolic expression\, shaped by eternal ideals that appear to be wired into the psyche.  Lecture includes slides to illustrate.

SUMMARY:Jung\, Tolkien\, and the Fate of Mythopoesis in Post Modernity
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop we will expose the residency of these themes in the tedium of daily life. Participants will bring stuff that seems the least psychologically deep. These contents are those most under the aegis of the hero\, and live\, in what Tolkien calls “Mordor”. In Jung’s theorization\, they would thus attract the most empathy from the psyche. Foreshadowed in this empathic process\, is the post-heroic figure needed in each psyche now to live past the ego’s encapsulation of consciousness and in so doing effect the transformations in consciousness necessitated by our postmodern condition.

SUMMARY:Jung\, Tolkien\, and the Fate of Mythopoesis in Post Modernity
DESCRIPTION:In Western Thought\, the hero\, the mythic expression of ego-development\, expands consciousness by subduing the dragon \, i.e. the “chaos” sensed by ego-consciousness in the categories of nature\, instinct\, mother. In this program we will explore the idea that while Jung initially abided by this traditional fantasy of ego-development\, there is a persistent dimension in his work that recognized the implications of consciousness becoming encapsulated in the ego-complex; this obliged Jung to accentuate the actions in the psyche that strive toward a post-ego mythology. \nThough nowadays consumed as a fashionable expression of a classic hero myth\, J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings \, exposes the perplexing failure of the hero to effect psychic transformation in the contemporary ‘postmodern’ psyche. This incapacity\, ironically present as the hero’s triumph\, or\, in psychological terms the pinnacle of ego-development\, signifies\, in Tolkien\, a threat to “middle earth”\, an unprecedented waning of the mythopoeic factor of the psyche. The claim is that the hero\, through this deconstruction\, presently\, leads not\, as it once had\, into progressive states of originality\, but into regressive states of compliance. This is manifest politically as globalization\, and in current psychopathology as an “empty” depression\, both of which are instinctively felt as a distance from “mother”. I take these to be the abiding concern of Jung’s analytical psychology\, and Tolkein’s Trilogy; taken together they inform a radical rereading of the developmental psychology and heroic mythology that dominantly impose upon the current practice of psychotherapy.

SUMMARY:Images  in a Melancholic Voice
DESCRIPTION:The melancholic mood has a distinctive tone which can be heard as clearly in certain kinds of writing as in music.  Our discussion will continue themes introduced in the lecture\, particularly the idea that melancholy\, unlike depression\, is a creative matrix\, seeing to answer these questions:  How can we hear the Muse in our own melancholic moments?  What sort of expression does the Muse give us when we try to express something from a melancholy place in the psyche?  Why is this important for our psychic health?  Participants are asked to bring paper and pen and\, if possible\, a photograph or snapshot that has personal meaning.

SUMMARY:Images in a Melancholic Eye
DESCRIPTION:Until the mid-19th century\, melancholy was imagined as a sacred affliction from the gods\, a madness characteristic of genius and the most difficult and complex temperament.  At the height of the Renaissance\, it was imagined in personified form as a majestic female figure; artists and poets looked to her as their Muse.  But\, in the twentieth century\, melancholy all but disappeared from the professional imagination\, to be replaced by the diagnostic categories of depression.  Where did Melancholy go?  How did she lose her voice?  How can we call her into life again\, listen to her wisdom\, take new creative heart from within her depths?  This lecture/slide presentation will use both spoken word and photographs to re-discover Melancholy as Muse.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Longing and Its Shadow
DESCRIPTION:The religions and myths of many times and cultures tell us that the human soul’s deepest desire is its longing for God.  Even people who feel disillusioned with traditional religions or disenchanted with spiritual teachers still yearn for something transcendent. \nWhenever we long for the transcendent\, however\, forces from the deep unconscious also swing into play.  Walking a spiritual path not only evokes states of illumination; it challenges us to face the darkness within ourselves. \nIn this lecture and workshop\, Dr. Wittine will explore spiritual longing and its shadow. Spiritual longing might overwhelm the ego\, cover over wounded parts of the personality\, perpetuate our inner critic\, lead to a split between “higher” and “lower” self-needs\, and derail individuation. We might project our longing onto lovers and teachers\, onto food\, sex\, and drugs\, or find it hidden in our grandiosity and desire for power. Dr. Wittine concludes that if we internalize our longing rather than externalizing it onto images\, people\, and things\, it will guide us toward a new experience of God\, which recognizes the transcendent in all aspects of life.

SUMMARY:Integrating the Shadow Functions
DESCRIPTION:Just as ego-consciousness is unevenly distributed between different function-attitudes that define our strengths and weaknesses\, so too is the unconsciousness of our shadow deployed in weaker and stronger ways. Getting to know the archetypes and psychological types of our shadow helps us to recognize the shadow and make use of its defensive power in a self-enhancing way.  Dr. Beebe will demonstrate in dialogue with the participants how this method of analysis can clarify certain difficult personal interactions\, dreams\, and forms of self-attack and sabotage.

SUMMARY:Types of the Shadow
DESCRIPTION:According to Jung’s theory of psychological types\, it is our birthright to differentiate\, in the course of individuation\, four function-attitudes that together define the wholeness of our mature standpoint.  But Jung has postulated a possible eight functions of consciousness. What about the four functions that remain in shadow? How do they operate\, and what is their role in our development as human beings? In this lecture\, illustrated with clips from popular films\, Dr. John Beebe will help us identify the different archetypal characteristics of our shadow functions and will show how they go about their work of challenging\, undermining\, and defending the ego.

SUMMARY:Psyche and Story
DESCRIPTION:Beneath the visible plane of existence\, a story is always at work . It may be the tribal story\, or the mythos of the family of origin\, or the personal complexes at work . The story may be conscious or unconscious\, but it is always present. What are the archetypal stories which have moved human history and where are their traces today?

SUMMARY:On the Psychology of Comedy
DESCRIPTION:What is comedy? Why is it so often paired with its dark twin tragedy? Why do we laugh? Is comedy healthy\, or is it pathological? (Freud\, who was rather dour\, wrote a book on the subject\, and Jung\, known for his earthy humor and voluminous laugh\, did not.) Bring a joke or bring a funny story to share!

SUMMARY:Dream Group
DESCRIPTION:The Lakota People inspired the dream group model used in this workshop where dreams are seen as possible inform at i o n for the entire community\, not just for the individual. Some dreams are collective visions. Some “ordinary” dreams are inspiring/enlightening/healing even for others to hear. In this workshop\, participants will be invited to share dreams on an individual level as well as to explore a dream’s potential for the group process. “Why did I need to hear this dream? ” is a salient question for those listening to another’s dream . This workshop is experiential . Care will be taken to insure confidentiality\, set boundaries \, and operate from compassion. All who volunteer to experience this unique process for dream work will be respected and honored for what it brings to all of us collectively.

SUMMARY:Threads\, Knots\, and Tapestries:  Our Dream Stories and the Collective Unconscious
DESCRIPTION:We are connected and dream in more objective ways than has previously been acknowledged by traditional psychology. Objective dreams compensate or give one factual data about waking reality – relationships\, health\, life choices\, etc. Some dreams are meant for more than the dreamer – a bigger audience – the family\, the community\, the tribe. Often these experiences of unconscious connection happen at the cross roads of our existence\, e. g.\, death or critical opportunity. Then\, the psyche speaks in a rare way – and one is healed by listening. Humans are pack animals and the dream make r k n ows well this ancient rule of our tribal nature. Within one’s own dream theat re\, our stories unfold using the characters from our lives to weave a pattern – each connected to the other in fascinating complexity. The “communal unconscious” which is the territory that resides between the personal and collective unconscious\, will be introduced using examples from synchronicities and dreams.

SUMMARY:The Mask of Dionysus: Possession and Healing
DESCRIPTION:How do we draw from this indestructible life stream to vitalize our lives instead of our egos being obliterated by Dionysian energy? The Romans gave the god his due in the form of a ceremony\, depicted in the intense\, colorful frescoes from the Villa of Mysteries at Pompeii.The images reveal Dionysus’ psychological impact on both men and women. In this seminar\, after a showing of slides of the ceremony\, we will create an altar evoking mystery initiation\, share a Roman feast\, and explore personal dreams in small groups for meaning in the larger scope of Dionysian myth. Please bring an altar object and a dream or poem that speaks of initiation for you.We will investigate what it means to honor this god of paradox.

SUMMARY:The Mask of Dionysus: Possession and Healing
DESCRIPTION:Twice-born Dionysus is the Greek god who suddenly appears out of absence. Dismembered and reconstituted\, surrounded by women\, Dionysus is the giver of wine\, healer who causes madness\, and ecstatic lover. His strangely masked appearance called listeners to join his orgiastic celebrations. For both those who answered the call\, and for those who refused\, there were intense consequences. Jung described the Dionysian psychological quality as “a flood of overpowering universal feeling which bursts forth irresistibly\, intoxicating the senses like the strongest wine…something instinctive and blindly compelling finds its expression in an affection of the bodily sphere\, the breaking loose of the unbridled dynamism of animal and divine nature.” \nIn analysis\, when the archetype of Dionysus erupts in the psyche\, the individual’s fate is deeply impacted by the encounter. This lecture examines epiphanic moments such as possession by love or attraction and addiction to drugs or alcohol. How do we struggle consciously with such energy\, and let it express itself without destroying what is already built? Slides of Dionysian initiation in Greece and in Roman Pompeii will be shown to amplify the clinical material.

SUMMARY:Encountering  Our  Animal Guides
DESCRIPTION:Animals speak to us in dreams and at crucial moments in our lives.Their roles seem to guide us in the task of becoming human and thus more true to our own animal natures. In this workshop\, the animals in our lives and dreams will be p resented as embodiments of energy\, as prototypes of spontaneity\, as models of natural integrity\, and as guardians and healers. Dr. Russack will share stories of how differe n t animals have helped individuals to discover how to live their human lives more fully and authentically. Therapists will learn new perspectives for incorporating animal symbolism in their practice. Participants are invited to bring material for discussion.

SUMMARY:Encountering Our Animal Guides
DESCRIPTION:The animal image is a frequent one in dreams\, in which a particular animal takes on a symbolic meaning that is not immediately apparent from the way the same animal behaves in life.This lecture presents animals that have played important roles in world art\, explore the symbolic status that each of these animal types has assumed in the creative unconscious\, and compare the image of the animal to the ways in which the actual animal is encountered in the natural world.

SUMMARY:Active  Imagination: A Quest for Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Images of the feminine that are transformative\, powerful and passionate are emerging even as we find ourselves caught by old patterns and judgements. We search within ourselves and in the world for support of new ways of being. Christiana Morgan’s original work illustrates a unique and passionately feminine path of individuation. Dr. Douglas will show slides depicting Morgan’s quest to reclaim her feminine voice and power. Seminar participants will be invited to experientially follow the permutations of the tranformative feminine within their own lives through dreams\, artwork\, thoughts\, feelings\, and active imagination.

SUMMARY:Active Imagination and the Visions Seminar
DESCRIPTION:C.G.Jung described active imagination as “the creative secret of the mind” where –through visioning\, dance and /or art work–consciousness and the unconscious work together in a profoundly healing way. The VISIONS SEMINAR is Jung’s great exploration of active imagination as a potent methodology for expanding the psyche and reuniting the patient with archetypal\, healing images that lie beneath personal complexes. The active imagination in the VISIONS SEMINAR also expresses one woman’s quest for healing engendered by transformative\, passionate feminine images –images flowering in many people’s psyches’ today. \nJung’s 1930’s seminars were based on active imaginations painted and recorded by Christiana Morgan\, a gifted young woman from New England who had been in analysis with him. In the course of her research\, Dr. Douglas discovered Morgan’s complete series of visions which link the chthonic\, dynamic\, and erotic feminine with the Divine. \nThrough slides and lecture\, Dr. Douglas will explore the historical background of active imagination. She will examine the VISIONS SEMINARS relevance in the creation of Jungian theory\, especially of active\nimagination\, anima and animus\, typology\, and the psychology of women.

SUMMARY:The Healing Power of Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Poetry helps one breath better. It is to the soul and heart what vitamins are to the body. The images which poetry evokes\, as well as the moods and memories\, feed a hunger that soul has for beauty\, mystery and a sense of the sacred. \nThrough readings and exercises\, participants are invited to appreciate the powerful healing gifts of poetry. In addition\, they are invited to attune their ears to the melodies and rhythms of poetry when it is read aloud\, so that they can experience something of the joy that comes from exercising the muscles of the soul when the voice sings its song. Finally\, participants will be encouraged to try their hand at writing a poem. In preparation for the workshop\, participants are asked to bring a poem that has chosen them\, or has been with them in their lives.

SUMMARY:The Tears of God: Grief as an Opening to the Divine
DESCRIPTION:The alchemy of the grieving process dissolves the conscious mind and its intentions\, and in a descent into the soul’s seasons of grief one meets the Oprhan\, an encounter which can transform personal loss into a journey of homecoming. Grief can be home-work\, and the Orphan\, the most homeless of all\, can lead us into that place where the wounds to love are the cracks through which a sense of the Divine shines through. The wonder\, even miracle\, of this moment is the recognition that our human tears of grief are mirrored in the tears of the Divine who hungers for an encounter with us. We grieve because we have dared to love\, and we can love again in an expanded way and allow ourselves to be loved because we have taken the time to grieve.

SUMMARY:Aliveness / Deadness / Regeneration
DESCRIPTION:To feel alive and not dead is as basic as our need for food\, air\, and water. Fear of this lies at the root of illness. In this workshop we will explore the unconscious ways we make parts of ourselves dead and what spaces offer themselves for regeneration.

SUMMARY:Aliveness / Deadness
DESCRIPTION:“As long as the animals are there\, there is life in the symbol.”\n–C.G. Jung \nIn the opening years of our new century and under the shadow of terrorist attacks on American soil\, these following questions have become urgent: What makes for our sense of aliveness and feeling real? What puts us in touch with our own voice? What confers a sense of finding and creating a path that is true for us? What kills it\, making us feel deadness? The focus of this lecture will examine the space of aliveness\, which is created between analysand and analyst\, between the ego and animus/a\, in worship between ritual and repetition compulsion\, and in imagination between the factual and the symbolic.

SUMMARY:The Symbol in the Transference: Jungian Approaches in Psychotherapy and Counseling
DESCRIPTION:“They tore the bark off the tree\nbut the roots will help it\ngrow.” (7yr old boy) \nThis workshop for professionals\, students and interested lay people\, seeks to return analytical psychology to its fertile roots–the symbol and symbolic expression. The day will focus on a variety of ways to activate and amplify symbols in the healing process. Hermes is invoked along with Eros and the Alchemy of Play so that Psyche leads Ego to new understandings and a new life. Priority is given to the therapeutic alliance and the symbol as it emerges out of the transference. Jungian theory (Primary Self\, de-integratio\, re-intergration\, participation mystique (the interactive field)\, projection and introjection) will be linked to clinical practice. Slides\, images\, dreams\, stories and active imagination will be shown and demonstrated. Transformation is witnessed as nigredo evolves to albedo and then rubedo and as chaos gives way to struggle and containment before the emergence of themes of reparation and resolution.

SUMMARY:Symbols in Your Psyche: The Inner Journey
DESCRIPTION:The uniqueness of analytical psychology lies in its emphasis on developing the capacity for symbolization. Jung’s life and work centered around the symbol-he imagined\, dreamed\, wrote\, carved\, painted\, played with and sculpted the symbol. This lecture-slide presentation seeks to provide a meditative-experiential evening around such key Jungian concepts as the Meadow\, Persona\, Shadow\, Anima-Animus and Self.
