SUMMARY:Beyond the Hero and the Patriarch: Fairy Tales of the Deep Masculine for Men and Women
DESCRIPTION:After many millennia of the archetypal hero and patriarch\, men and women today are ready for other models of masculine energy. A unique group of fairy tales offers such an alternative. Focused on mature men\, these “men’s tales” come from around the world and share a common theme: they show men at mid-life moving away from the hero and the patriarch to a more ancient\, masculine archetype-the shaman-Trickster. The stories have a dual meaning. On the level of the psyche\, the offer men an invaluable map of mid-life development. On the level of society\, they give women and men a vision of life beyond the patriarchy. This is because the shaman-Trickster emphasizes communication rather than competition\, creativity instead of conquest\, and healing over heroics. He complements rather than contests the goddess\, seeking a balance between masculine and feminine.  \nIn the lecture\, several men’s tales will be retold and discussed.

SUMMARY:Your Personal Myth
DESCRIPTION:When Jung went through his personal crisis\, he asked himself\, “What is my personal myth?” When he could not answer his own question\, he began his descent into the unconscious and the subsequent dialogue with the Self which we now call individuation\, Jung’s myth for our time. In this workshop we will explore a number of questions which will help identify the conscious and unconscious values by which we are living. We will endeavor to explore patterns in our lives\, especially those which derive from our families of origin. Please bring paper and pen\, for we will be doing a lot of personal reflection and writing in response to the questions posed.

SUMMARY:The Middle Passage: Misery and Meaning at Mid-life
DESCRIPTION:Life requires three major transitions\, or passages. The move from childhood dependency to provisional adulthood and the encounter with mortality frames this process. The Middle Passage occurs when one is forced to face the conflict between the formative experiences of childhood (internalized as provisional adulthood) and the instinctual urge of the Self towards individuation. This conflict is often described as the “mid-life crisis”\, though its occurrence is not limited to the middle years. This presentation identifies the characteristics of the critical Middle Passage and the attitudes which lead toward a richer\, more authentic second half of life.

SUMMARY:Polarities of the Self
DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on the myth-producing aspect of the collective unconscious\, as seen in the form of an extended active imagination done by an artist in long-term analysis. Although trained as a performing artist\, the patient’s native graphic ability developed considerably in the process of creating sixty unconscious drawings which portray her inner journey and provide the impetus for her personal and professional development in life. Major themes include the Demeter/Kore myth from the Eleusinian mysteries\, the transformation of Osiris\, and the alchemical coniunctio oppositorum. The material demonstrates a life pattern in modern women who develop an assertive\, heroic ego as a precursor to the emergence of a deeper sense of feminine self. There will be ample time for dialogue about the material\, in addition to Dr. Stein’s amplification and discussion of the case.

SUMMARY:The Spirit Mercurius: From Individualism to Spiritual Emergence
DESCRIPTION:After his earlier explorations of gnosticism and the Eastern yogas\, Jung found in alchemy a mythic system closely tied to the origins of modern consciousness. His observation that the individual psyche produces symbols which compensate for he conscious ego attitude could be applied to dominant myths in the collective unconscious as well. Seen in this light\, the confusing and polymorphous imagery of alchemy represents a compensation to the rational culture in which we live. The central personification of the alchemical drama was the trickster figure\, Spirit Mercurius\, who is the allegorical agent for dissolving old structures and changing lead into gold. In early childhood development\, the appearance of the trickster archetype presages a lifelong struggle between one’s own sense of reality and collective norms. Weaving a symbolic picture from the development of the trickster archetype\, the dreams of a patient\, and the near-death visions of Jung\, Dr. Stein will discuss the tension between individualism and surrender in spiritual development and show how the evolution of the trickster can mediate conflicting tendencies in the unconscious.

SUMMARY:Sexuality\, Spirituality\, and Individuation
DESCRIPTION:Sexuality\, in its wide range of manifestations\, is among the least understood and most complex areas of human experience. Viewed symbolically\, it can be understood as a bridge between ordinary reality and the archetypal world of the demonic and the divine. Using sexual behavior and fantasy as the central themes\, this lecture and workshop will explore the archetypal dimensions of those experiences. The program will include slides.

SUMMARY:The Journey With the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Journey is one way of talking about and symbolizing the process of individuation\, just as one can also speak of the substance of individuation as a consistent\, personal identity. Both are as valid as microphysics’ viewing of an atom as both a wave and a particle. The journey is with the Soul\, not of the Soul\, since it is a “conscious” process\, that “knowing with” journey\, in which the other is not first of all our social partners but the unconscious itself. For our purposes here\, Soul is a better term than Self or Psyche because in our Judeo-Christian tradition it refers to the life principle\, a principle that includes body as well as society.  \nThe Journey will consist of the following paths: Climbing the Mountain: the Value of Work; Falling into Darkness: the Value of Love; Spring of Creation: the Value of Play; and Fruition of Compassion and Justice: the Value of Prayer. The overarching stages of the Journey will be Jung’s Two Stages of Life.  \nThe Journey is based on client dreams and many archetypal models. Bring your own dreams to help construct this odyssey that is both personal and collective.

SUMMARY:The Hundredth Dreamer
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on the challenge each of us faces in helping develop a societal goal characterized as the new dream culture. The title comes from biology’s Einsteinian field theory\, morphogenesis\, popularly known as “The Hundredth Monkey” theory. Scientists observed all members of a species of monkeys on several islands developing an entirely new behavior after a critical number of them first learned the behavior on one specific island. This critical mass is called “The Hundredth Monkey”.  \nWe’ll explore the cultural background that has led to a massive ignorance and resistance to the inner world and dreaming\, drawing on Jung’s historical cultural view and other studies of our patriarchal culture. Its pathologies include fear of the inner feminine and related creative child: fear of the chaos of change and its creativity in society and the unconscious; the resistances that we each feel toward dream recall and work; and finally\, dream ego confusion within the dream experience itself. In turn\, we’ll consider how the unconscious is constantly pushing us to be artists\, mystics and scientists of the elemental creativity that is the dream; and how both body and society must enter into an integral understanding of the dream work and its goal\, individuation. Hopefully\, our work will build toward that time in the future when one of us will be the hundredth dreamer.

SUMMARY:The  Near-Death Experience: An Initiation and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:This is a personal narrative of a near-death experience. It is an attempt to describe the indescribable and with this paradox in mind\, it is a psychological and embodied experience of death and rebirth\, of initiation and transformation. At a time when medical technology is saving more lives and prolonging life\, when terminal illness is striking more young adults\, the issue of death and dying is being forced into our consciousness.  \nIn the workshop we will look at death and dying from personal\, archetypal\, and spiritual levels\, with the hope of eliciting through our discussion a perspective on death as an opportunity to enrich our lives.

SUMMARY:The Near-Death Experience: An Initiation and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interest upon futilities.” C.G. Jung \nThis is a personal narrative of a near-death experience. It is an attempt to describe the indescribable and with this paradox in mind\, it is a psychological and embodied experience of death and rebirth\, of initiation and transformation. At a time when medical technology is saving more lives and prolonging life\, when terminal illness is striking more young adults\, the issue of death and dying is being forced into our consciousness.

SUMMARY:Fairytales as Mirrors of Psychopathology
DESCRIPTION:Fairy tales are like collective dreams which\, acting as x-rays of the psyche\, reveal the structure and dynamics of personality. Many tales depict gross peculiarities of behavior. This workshop will use a selection of such stories which indicate various aspects of psychopathology.  \nSuggested reading from Grimm: Clever Elsie\, #34; Strong Hans\, #166; The Sea Hare\, #191; Rapunzel\, #12. (The numbers are consistent in all editions\, though the titles vary a little).

SUMMARY:A  Psychological Approach to the Problem of Suffering: Its Relation to the Process of Incarnation of Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the process of the incarnation of the Self into a personal self allows a psychological approach to the problem of suffering\, without resource to traditional theological explanations. This lecture will describe a way in which the practitioner may assist his or her client to find personal meaning in suffering\, by using individual psychopathology as a form of spiritual practice.

SUMMARY:A Psychological Approach to the Problem of Evil
DESCRIPTION:The problem of evil has influenced the dogmatic assertions of all religious traditions\, and is also crucial to those of us interested in personal religious experience and a religious approach to the psyche. The specifically psychological\, rather than theological\, approach to evil relies on Jung’s ideas that the Self has a dark as well as a light side\, and that the personal shadow is an incarnation of that aspect of the divine. Using these concepts\, this lecture will discuss an intrapsychic approach to evil.

SUMMARY:Fatherhood: A Multi-Imaged Reality
DESCRIPTION:This workshop begins with the premise that there is no one archetypal image of fatherhood. Rather\, there are many images of the father which have been mediated by many cultures. Some cultures image the best way of fathering as “Our Father who art in heaven” seen in images like Zeus and Yaweh. Other cultures see the best way of fathering as earth-fathering expressed through images like Hades in ancient Greece and Geb in ancient Egypt.  \nWe will learn that all fathers are not called to initiate their sons and daughters through making them suffer and that contemporary Abrahams may not be asked to sacrifice their Isaacs. We will examine what role\, if any\, the father plays. Some of us have been called to be both mother and father/earth and sky to our children and to ourselves. We all need to widen and deepen our images of what an inner and outer father we can become. Feminine-gendered persons are welcome.

SUMMARY:Like a Donkey Between Two Bales of Hay: The Puer and Senex at Midlife
DESCRIPTION:What images can Jungian psychology bring to our understanding of the male mid-life crisis? Sometimes a man in a mid-life crisis feels and acts like as ass between two bales of hay. He can’t totally return to or remain in the bliss of adolescence (what Jung called the Puer Aeturnus) and the calm\, deep wisdom of the positive Senex (Jung’s Wise Old Man) seems equally far away. Many men at mid-life feel that they are stuck somewhere in the middle between the effervescence of youth and the inner joy of old age. It’s time to grow into becoming a Wise/Fool but there are no cultural road maps.

SUMMARY:The Evolution of the Soul
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be based on a chapter for June Singer’s newest book\, A Gnostic Book of Hours (Harper San Francisco\, 1992). On the surface the material is a tale of wonder and romance\, but its darker side reveals the abuse and violations of woman as metaphor for the trials of the soul\, which is often cast adrift in our contemporary society. Originating in third century Alexandria\, Egypt\, the gnostic text with which we will work (Exegesis of the Soul) displays an amazing relevance to the problem of evil in contemporary society. We will also see two of the four parts of Passions of the Soul\, an outstanding documentary on Jungian psychology made for Dutch television.

SUMMARY:Gnostic Threads in the Fabric of the Psyche
DESCRIPTION:What in the ancient heretical writings called “Gnosticism” so fascinated C.G. Jung that he wove the strands of Gnostic ideas through his entire philosophy? Who were these people called Gnostics\, and why did both Romans and early Christians fear their power? How do the Gnostic myths account for the presence of evil in the world. If we want to gain insight into the meanings of these questions\, we must reflect on the curious story of Creation as told by Gnostics. Their inverted version of Genesis I and II can be read as metaphor for the psyche\, and its characters can be seen as projections of the human soul with all its manifold potentials. June Singer will explore the importance of Gnosticism for both Jung and also for those who wish to deepen their understanding of Jung’s view of the psyche. This lecture will provide background for the workshop.

SUMMARY:Boundaries of the Marital Soul: Seeking Attachment and Autonomy in a Relationship
DESCRIPTION:The needs for attachment and autonomy are as natural to our psychic life as the need for food and water is to our physical life. And yet\, the recent plethora of writings about co-dependency frightens a confused reading public who wonder if they are doing it “right” in their relationships. Simple human yearnings have become labeled disease\, while estrangement and alienation have become normalized when called “detachment”. Relationship boundaries advocated by authors of co-dependency books tell us where we leave off and the other person begins. But they cannot begin to tell us where we meet-where we are one.  \nThis workshop will look at what the experts call “hostile-dependent” relationships from the perspective of depth psychology\, and at how the individual develops in these marriages.

SUMMARY:Depth Psychological Prayer: Meditations on Jung and the Bible
DESCRIPTION:The reality of the psyche is perhaps Jung’s most important discovery but it is easy to lose sight of it living in the most extroverted society the world has ever known. With the declining influence in our lives of religion\, only depth psychotherapy remains as an institution that can keep us in touch with our souls (psyches). But we need something to supplement depth psychotherapy and remind us on a daily basis of the existence of an inner world which compensates for the overwhelming power of the collective.

SUMMARY:Individuation Through Marriage: The Revolution in Love Relationships Between the Sexes
DESCRIPTION:Relationship problems form the main content of most analytic hours. Because intimate relationships reactivate archaic levels of the psyche\, notably our childhood woundings\, therapeutic efforts rightly center upon the healing of those wounds through the application of consciousness. But Jung reminds us of what ancient medicine knew and modern medicine has largely forgotten: that when a personal disease is raised to a higher\, impersonal level there is a curative effect. This lecture will attempt to understand the crisis in love relationships not so much as the sum of personal problems\, but as a collective\, cultural movement of the spirit.

SUMMARY:Awakening the Heroes Within
DESCRIPTION:This slide/lecture describes briefly twelve archetypes which can act as guides on the journey of individuation. This journey has three parts. Preparation for the journey involves developing ego strength and becoming properly socialized for one’s society. The Journey itself is an initiation into the mysteries which help us give birth to the Self. The Return provides the opportunity for wholeness\, as we learn to express our uniqueness in the world and tolerate differences from others.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Sandplay: the Transcendent Function in Pictures of a Woman and Boy
DESCRIPTION:Sandplay is a powerful method of psychotherapy\, based on practical\, creative modeling-literally a “hands-on” approach to healing the whole person. Sandplay has both diagnostic and therapeutic value for adults and children. Since there are no preconceived ideas about “art” in sand\, there is a wonderful freedom and flowing spontaneity in using sand creatively. Sandplay allows expression of the intuitive and non-verbal layers of the psyche. Through pictures of the work of a woman and a boy\, Frau Ammann will show us how the opposites are engaged and the process heals and transforms.
