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.

SUMMARY:The Moving Imagination
DESCRIPTION:‘I move\,’ is the clear knowledge that I personally\, am moving. The opposite of this is the sudden and astonishing moment when ‘I am moved.’ It is a moment when the ego gives up control\, stops exerting demands\, allowing the Self to take over moving the physical body as it will. It is a moment of unpremeditated surrender that cannot be explained\, replicated exactly\, sought for or tried out.\nMary Starks Whitehouse \nThis one day workshop will introduce an approach to movement that was originally developed by Mary Whitehouse. Sometimes called “authentic movement” or “movement in depth\,” it involved a mover\, a witness\, and their relationship. We’ll take up the development of this work an its use as a form of active imagination. Morning and afternoon sessions will include lecture\, movement experience and discussion. Participants are invited to bring journals and/or art materials. Enrollment will be limited.

SUMMARY:Changemakers: Sibling Position\, Family Atmosphere\, and Questions about The Psychological Roots of Democracy and Dictatorship
DESCRIPTION:It is technically very simple to note down the “other” voice in writing and to answer its statements from the standpoint of the ego. It is exactly as if a dialogue were taking place between two human beings with equal rights.\nC.G. Jung \nJung’s statement conveys the essence of his method of active imagination\, which is a re-activation in psychotherapy of the innate process of individuation. If we look to the socio-political world for the projection of this process\, it would appear to be democracy. “A dialogue…between two human beings with equal rights” is the essence of democracy. It is also the essence of true friendship and of true marriage. We need only look to ourselves\, to our friends\, our spouses\, our family\, to realize how imperfect is our commitment to “true” democracy. Nevertheless\, the ideal exists\, and we are often painfully aware when we fail its requirements.  \nThis lecture will take up the influence of family and sibling position on the destiny of the individual and the future of society. Dr. Stewart will look at political leaders and discuss how an individual may be “seized by the spirit\,” for good or for evil\, democracy or dictatorship in the world. His study reveals a startling\, new perspective on the family as it focuses on the largely unconscious factors that determine the use and abuse of power.

SUMMARY:A 3-Day Workshop: Going on a Quest: Opening to the Creative Day 3
DESCRIPTION:There is a center in us which\, if we could but open to it\, would give us strength\, wisdom\, and the capacity to live our creative potential. Connection with this center gives our lives presence and vitality. Creativity depends on it. Like most real truths\, this potential is hidden: the “treasure hard to attain”. There are tools for contacting and remaining open to it.  \nThis workshop uses the creative arts and body movements as an opener to the depths of the psyche\, to what Jung calls “the Self”. It is an opportunity to play with color and shape. No previous knowledge or art skills are necessary-only a longing for a deeper understanding\, a joy in color and a wish to play again.  \nParticipants should write their own stories-as if your life were a personal myth or fairy tale-and bring them to the workshop. What are you in search of? Where are you on your pilgrimage? Where do you think you will be at the end? Please also reflect on your favorite fairy tale as a child and your current favorite. This material will be enhanced by the revelations that will arise during the weekend. Bodywork will be coordinated with collage work. Collage materials will be provided.

SUMMARY:Once Upon a Noon Time: Fairy Tales and the Psychology of Men and Women at Mid-Life
DESCRIPTION:This lecture and workshop will explore the archetypal masks of mid-life as depicted in fairy tales from around the world. Some dozen stories from Germany\, Persia\, Russia\, Japan\, Israel\, and Italy will be retold and discussed. These tales portray crucial tasks of mid-life: transforming youthful ideals into practical action; breaking gender stereotypes to free the anima and animus; for men\, learing new forms of masculine power from a Spirit Brother; for women\, embracing a Sisterhood of Nature beyond patriarchy or matriarchy; and for both men and women\, reconciling opposites through contact with a primordial life source\, a center of creativity and healing.
