SUMMARY:The Healing Self: The Soothing Voice of the Soul
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will focus on the healing and soothing impulses from the psyche that some people receive after they have experienced suffering. The emphasis of the day’s material is on the felt experiences of people in and out of analysis. Dr. Asper will present historical sketches and examples\, including: the dreams of two young students who resisted Nazi terror; the legend of Saint Martha\, who tamed the dragon instead of killing him; the Feminine Super-Ego; the Ego Father\, Son and Holy Spirit as the Trinitarian Aspect of the Numinous; the journal of Opal Whitely\, and the symbol of the Labyrinth. Dr. Asper’s intent is for participants to experience the contents of symbols. A symbol becomes a symbol only after it touches us emotionally. For the same reason she will also discuss how she came to choose the different themes of the workshop and what each one touched in her.

SUMMARY:Home or Homeless: On Losing and Regaining the Sense of Inner Home
DESCRIPTION:This lecture focuses on the loss of the sense of inner home. Emphasis is placed on war\, exile\, early loss of parents and a difficult start in life. Such experiences can lead to the loss of inner home\, insecurity\, and narcissistic problems.

SUMMARY:The Healing Power of Reindeer Woman
DESCRIPTION:For the Shamanic people of the North\, the reindeer is a messenger between heaven and earth\, a mystical creature that transports into our lives healing and wisdom from the world beyond. Linda Leonard\, who lived with nomadic peoples in the Siberian wilderness and in Lapland\, came to understand that the reindeer as “spirit guide” is a metaphor for an instinctual\, feminine way of being in the world that honors both human life and nature.  \nThis workshop will focus on “Reindeer Woman” as an energy which is gentle and compassionate\, strong and wild. Dr. Leonard will weave together fairy tales\, legends and myths from the people of the North with dreams and experiences related to the reindeer (and deer) of contemperary men and women in our culture. The intent is to reawaken in each of us a spiritual awareness of animals as a source of divine inspiration and creativity.  \nParticipants are invited to bring dreams and images of reindeer\, deer\, and other animals that they have experienced as healing bonds to nature.

SUMMARY:Creation’s Heartbeat: Following the Reindeer Spirit
DESCRIPTION:In the Arctic\, the “shamanic” peoples who live in accord with the rhythms of nature regard the reindeer as spiritual messengers. Traveling between heaven and earth\, the reindeer transport the souls of the dead to rebirth in the spirit world and carry the shaman to the source of wisdom and healing for the community. The peoples of the North have a soul-relationship with the reindeer\, live by its rhythms\, and follow its annual migration to to give birth. At the same time\, they depend on it for their livelihood and live in the paradox between soul and nature. “Reindeer Spirit” is a metaphor for an ancient feminine instinctual rhythm of soul that offers a path to the ecological and creative living needed by the modern world in its “Dark Night of the Soul.” This presentation will explore the challenges of reviving the Reindeer Spirit as a way to nourish the soul.

SUMMARY:Dramas from the Deep: Active Imagination and Fairy Tale Work - a Playshop for Adults
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will focus on active imagination\, storytelling and story writing. We will emphasize experiential work dealing with intra-personal\, interpersonal and community issues. Through lecture\, discussion\, exercises\, and story writing\, we will seek to awaken a spirit of play in dealing with the unconscious\, to discover our creative potentials for becoming whole\, and to explore our individual places within larger communities. The exercises aim to identify obstacles to the flow of the unconscious\, to help each of us decide when to push forward into the depths and when to turn back\, and to discover and work with personal legends and myths that shape our lives. Please bring something to write with and some paper\, as well as a “big” dream or image-one that is meaningful or puzzling. If you wish you may also bring something that can serve as a talisman of safety for your inner journeys-a special stone\, an amulet\, a picture or reminder of a loved one\, even something soft and furry. Hopefully\, you’ll take home some specific\, playful tools for continuing inner work.

SUMMARY:Gifts of the Night: Ways of Working with Dreams
DESCRIPTION:The Psyche speaks through images and stories. The images are the “words” of the unconscious\, and the stories-how the words are put together-are the “grammar”. Dreams\, fairy tales\, and visions represent different kinds of dramas\, each rich with gifts from the deep waters of the unconscious.  \nDreams emerge from the unconscious\, carrying archetypal symbols and the wisdom of the deep self. We will emphasize the importance of experiencing dreams\, rather than just interpreting them\, because when dreams are experienced in a deep way\, they can be transformative\, catalyzing changes in real life. We will explore the use of active imagination\, fairy tales and storytelling as ways of working with dreams. We will discuss three levels of Jungian dream symbolism-personal\, archetypal\, and community\, and we will touch upon some overlooked archetypes. A dream “tool kit” will be presented. These tools include amplification of specific dream images\, translating dreams into fairy tales\, and sharing dreams with another person. Please bring pen and paper\, and if you wish\, a recent puzzling or meaningful dream to work with\, perhaps to share with others.

SUMMARY:Drawings from the Unconscious
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will provide an introduction to understanding the non-verbal language of impromptu drawings as a valid means of communication from the unconscious. The focus will be on complexes\, and the negative aspects of complexes that have to die in order to remove the blocks to individuation. Please bring colored pencils and paper.

SUMMARY:The Verdant Ones: Figures of Green Men and Green Women as They Appear in Folklore\, Mythology\, Fairytales\, and Clinical Work
DESCRIPTION:Human life processes are green\, in the sense of developing their inherent potential in slow\, difficult\, and at first incomprehensible ways. Yet\, it seems that these processes are guided by green or verdant figures who always appear at crucial points of a therapeutic process. What do these figures really represent?  Are they symbols of transformation? Are they personifications of the individuation process? Or\, given their green color\, are they symbols for our “nature within\,” of what helps us become what we are\, of what was constellated in us from the beginning?  \nThe workshop will incorporate more clinical material and discussion.

SUMMARY:Silence: Art and the Art of Healing
DESCRIPTION:The dream world is an ultimate creative art\, as is the interpretation of dream on a symbolic and archetypal basis. The dream world of images is largely silence and represents that “emptiness” which transcends words and images. It is the wholeness which is sought in meditation and the ultimate silence as “expressed” in poetry\, music\, and the visual arts. Select parts of some great motion pictures and of dreams will be presented. The ultimate silence has been said to be the voice of God. It is associated with noise\, pandemonium\, space between “things” and the healing force of life itself. Silence is not an archetype\, but for some “reason” is taboo in modern civilization.

SUMMARY:The Conspiracy of Silence: Secrets\, Confidentiality and Trust
DESCRIPTION:The idea of silence is rarely addressed in Jungian or Freudian psychoanalytic literature. There is almost a silence about silence\, and yet that phenomenon plays a crucial role in the dialogue and dialectic of therapy and analysis. The sacred trust in the confessional or doctor-patient relationship is being lost in the present computer age and in third-party treatment in health care. The story of “secrets” and honoring and betrayal of trust is at the heart of human relationship. The meaning of silence beyond words and images is the basis of this presentation.

SUMMARY:The Soul of Community
DESCRIPTION:The three great interrelated questions of our time are egotism\, evil\, and community. This lecture develops an imagination of community out of archetypal psychology\, one that can adequately meet and challenge egotism and evil.  \nMany people today search for a sense of community and\, in truth\, are often disappointed when this deep desire meets only groups of conforming individuals instead. In this presentation we will look to the Grail legend as a prototype for an imagination of community that does not annihilate individual soul life. We will work with the following soul conditions necessary for development of community: the capacity to confront one’s soul in solitude; developing a right relationship to desire; the centrality of conscience of the heart; the will to be completely human; radical receptivity; moving among soul planes; living with the three Grail questions.

SUMMARY:Love\, Intimacy\, and the Imagination of the Heart
DESCRIPTION:We will extend the understanding of the evolution of love developed in the lecture to a consideration of love between individuals and love for the sake of the world. In our time\, relationships of an intimate nature are becoming more and more difficult. We will explore some of our cherished illusions concerning love\, see what is involved in creating love rather than expecting to fall in love\, and work towards developing an imagination of the heart. \nWe will explore the loss of the soul in the senses in the modern world\, and how love becomes ever more difficult in a simulated world in which images are readily given rather than created through inner soul work. Meditative soul practices for recovering the soul of inner senses through developing a conscious imagination of the heart will be suggested. The special difficulty of obsession as an opening of the heart without proper preparation is explored and a path of healing suggested. The format will be conversational.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Psychology of Love
DESCRIPTION:Love must not forget that she is Wisdom’s sister. This lecture explores this enigmatic statement\, developing an archetypal picture of Wisdom\, Sophia\, as the intelligence of the cosmos and how love is meant to develop in close connection with World Wisdom. We will consider love’s long but necessary separation from Wisdom and a path of return. We will describe the multifarious ways in which the human soul is beset with the sufferings and joys of love-sexual love\, love as a force in the blood\, emotional love\, self-love and love resulting from work towards individuation. We will see how love interpenetrates all aspects of human reality\, bringing about the ever-present possibility if identifying one realm of love as the totality\, leading to tragic consequences. The future of love will be explored from the viewpoint of archetypal psychology.

SUMMARY:Men and Women: Beyond the Battle
DESCRIPTION:For the last 3000 years\, the “battle of the sexes” has raged between men and women. In this no-win war\, both sides have been scarred. But we stay in the game because we instinctively sense that there must be something more. So how can we experience oneness in a relationship and not lose ourselves in the process? \nMen and women have pursued the answers to this question on their own\, but have met with only limited success. More men are learning to claim their feelings. More women are learning to claim their power. But while understanding grows\, union remains elusive.  \nDr. Woloy suggests that a new model of relationship is needed\, one that will come from the images in the unconscious of men and women. These images will guide us to a new vision of partnership\, based in freedom\, safety and love. This lecture and experiential workshop will explain old myths and explore new possibilities for relationships\, and use images that arise through drawings\, sound and movement.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Alchemy - The Mystery of Change
DESCRIPTION:Metaphor and symbols are the great transformers\, the bridge between the levels of mind\, body\, and spirit. This psychological understanding of the Alchemical opus will provide the container and the integrity to lead into the Saturday workshop\, which will be directly experiential and allow individuals to have an opportunity to experience the working of the alchemical process within their own bodies.  \nThe Eugene program will lead directly into the program presented in Portland the following weekend. The final work of the opus is the conjunctio\, the union of opposites. The social manifestation of this final alchemical process is the changing images in the relationships between men and women. We hope that this program will offer individuals a greater understanding of themselves and their parts in changing consciousness.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Alchemy - The Mystery of Change
DESCRIPTION:Human consciousness\, the scientific understanding of our world\, and our material world itself are in a state of rapid change. By synthesizing the highly symbolic\, esoteric systems of the Tarot\, Kabbala and Alchemy\, not as an academic study but rather as a way of experiencing our daily life\, we can understand more clearly the nature of this change. The most sacred text of the alchemist\, the Emerald Tablet of Hermes\, is no less than an alchemist’s opus\, a recipe for the second creation of the world. It begins: \n“True\, without falsehood\, certain and most true\, \nthat which is above is as that which is below \nand that which is below is as that which is above \nfor the performance of the miracles of the One Thing…” \nWhen we truly know the meaning of this text we can fully comprehend the unity of mind\, body and spirit in the souls of human beings. \nThe lecture will discuss the fundamental basis of Alchemy as interpreted by Carl Jung\, and the principles of the Tarot and the Hermetic Kabbala. The by looking at the images presented by men and women from their dreams\, body experiences and synchronistic events\, we will see how these esoteric mysteries are present in everyday life.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Stories From Our Motherlines
DESCRIPTION:Everyone has a Motherline to follow\, a set of family stories to remember\, a human history that goes back for generations. Often these stories are filled with grief and with shadows; to remember them is to honor the depths of the human experience. In the ancient world both men and women participated in rituals which drew them into the underworld and the sacred feminine. In this workshop\, men and women are invited to reflect on the mysteries of origin. Poetry\, personal memories\, and Motherline stories from many sources will help us find our way. Bring a photograph\, a piece of jewelry or clothing\, or any other article that carries the mana of your Motherline.

SUMMARY:Conceiving the Motherline
DESCRIPTION:Mother is the first world we know\, the source of our lives and our stories. Embodying the mysteries of origin\, she ties us to the great web of kin and of generation. Yet the voice of her experience is unknown in our culture and she is objectified in our psychology. This lecture will articulate the concept of the Motherline\, and how it is vital to the understanding of our lives\, whether we be men or women

SUMMARY:Sacred  Medicine and Individuation
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will take up the more experiential side of the preceding lecture\, demonstrating some of the ways in which shamanic medicine brought healing to its tribal patients. Tribal healing was always archetypal\, using by means of myth and ritual\, the basic archetypal pattern of death\, dismemberment\, and rebirth. This pattern was\, and is\, universal.  \nWe will venture a bit further by extending Jung’s method of active imagination with ethnic amplification-the use of simple ritual drumming and rattling\, in order to gain some idea of what this kind of healing was like. Both the lecture and the workshop will include slides.

SUMMARY:Sacred Medicine and Individuation
DESCRIPTION:Modern medicine has a highly developed technology\, but it has forgotten the quality of sacredness which was once its heritage. Shamanism and tribal medicine\, without the benefits of scientific knowledge\, have yet been the means of healing through centuries (even millennia) of human life. Using myth and ritual and a highly developed sense of wholeness\, they have promoted true holistic healing-the harmony of mind and body-through the intense experience of the sacred.  \nThe only psychology of our time that honors this dimension is the analytical psychology of Carl Jung. His concept of individuation offers a way for the modern mind to preserve the wonders of scientific progress\, and yet experience the healing values of ancient ways that are archetypally based\, and so\, universal.
