SUMMARY:The Child as Image and Reality in Art and Fairytales
DESCRIPTION:We all share the child because we all experienced childhood and we all carry a symbolic inner child within us on a daily basis until death. Two important avenues into this world are fairy tales and artistic creation.  \nIn this experiential workshop participants will be encouraged to actively share ideas and associations to the material presented to them. The workshop also serves as a container for sharing personal experiences. how do you experience your parents and their value system? Your siblings? Who is your symbolic child? What is the relevance of the inner child in your life? Do we or do we not have easy access? How can you best utilize the wisdom of the inner child?

SUMMARY:Reflections on Childhood and the Child in the Analysis of Adults
DESCRIPTION:This presentation on childhood will attempt to show the importance of analyzing childhood and relating to the personal childhood past of each of us. In addition we will look at the symbolic child within us. How we trust it and whether we value its messages determines the degree of psychological and spiritual integration we strive for during our lifetime.

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. Building on material presented Friday evening\, we’ll focus on the ongoing\, interwoven relationship of body\, psyche\, and emotions. 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:Body\, Psyche\, and the Emotions
DESCRIPTION:“On the one hand\, emotion is the chemical fire whose warmth brings everything into existence and whose heat burns all superfluities to ashes…But on the other hand\, emotion is the moment when steel meets flint and a spark is struck forth\, for emotion is the chief source of consciousness. There is no change from darkness to light or from inertia to movement without emotion.”\nC.G. Jung  \nFor Jung\, the emotions are the foundations of the psyche. The highest aspirations of the human spirit have evolved and are developed from them. An emotion is at once somatic (bodily innervations\, expressive physical action) and psychic (images and ideas). Active imagination\, Jung’s analytical method of psychotherapy\, is intricately interwoven with the expression and transformation of the emotions.  \nA differentiated understanding of the emotions is of great value to both analyst and analysand. We can train ourselves to recognize the fundamental emotions. One of the most useful approaches is through the study of the prototypical expressive actions. Darwin was the first to differentiate between the fundamental emotions\, the complex emotions\, and the symbolic cultural gestures. This lecture will take up the fudnamental emotions\, with particular attention to universal patterns of expressive behavior. This material is drawn from experiences in dance\, dance therapy\, and analysis\, as well as the contributions of Darwin\, Jung\, Henderson\, Tomkins\, and Stewart.

SUMMARY:In the Ever After: Fairy Tales and the Second Half of Life
DESCRIPTION:Handed down over centuries\, fairy tales are treasuries of wisdom distilling the observations and reflections of countless generations. In most familiar stories\, like “Cinderella” or “Snow White\,” the protagonist is a child or adolescent. These tales emphasize the psychological tasks of youth and end when the hero and heroine marry and (supposedly!) live “happily ever after.”  \nA unique group of fairy tales feature protagonists who are in the second-half of life. These “elder tales” reveal what really happens in the “ever after”-when the Prince becomes bald and the Princess dons bifocals.  \nIn this lecture and workshop a number of “elder tales” from around the world will be retold and discussed. The stories contain deep insights about the tasks of maturity\, from self-reformation and self-transcendence\, to helping the next generation and being open to magic. In charming and poignant dramas\, the tales depcit the final quest in life-for wisdom and illumination.

SUMMARY:The Return of the Spirit: C.G. Jung’s Psychological Foundation for 12-Step Programs
DESCRIPTION:When Dr. Lavin presented his Depth Psychology of Alcoholism lectures here in Portland in 1986\, he talked about Jung’s understanding that a person who lost contact with her or his inner creative spirit often went on to abuse alcoholic spirits in order to get high and warm again.  \nIn this lecture series\, Dr. Lavin will discuss the many forms of spirit and the ways in which twelve-step programs support the rediscovery of the creative spirit both within and without. In their best form\, twelve-step programs are meeting places and containers for the ecstasy of Youth and wisdom of the Wise Old Woman and Old Man.  \nThe lecture and workshop will discuss sobriety as a process of remembering one’s Self by loving the body\, finding the soul\, and accepting the embrace of one’s creative spirit. To grow in sobriety means letting go of dependence and co-dependence and walking a path which liberates the heart.

SUMMARY:Anima and Animus as Soul and Spirit
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will review the many different ways in which Jung used the terms anima and animus\, and will discuss the controversy these terms have inspired. We will explain why we believe that anima and animus actually describe particular intrapsychic functions\, which are best understood as the operation of soul and spirit. This useage allows these functions to be separated from their historical association with contrasexuality\, thereby freeing them from sexist bias.

SUMMARY:Psychotherapy as Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:Psychotherapy means service to the soul. In its most essential form\, it is a process by which an individual can be helped to develop or clarify a sustaining relationship to the Divine. For both analyst and analsand\, psychotherapy is a form of spiritual practice that utilizes the grit of human existence-the shadow\, intense affective experience\, narcissism\, old wounds-as well as the human capacity for joy and suffering. This workshop will explore the nature and dynamics of this process and will assist participants in learning to practice psychotherapy as a spiritual discipline.

SUMMARY:Narcissism and the Experience of the Divine
DESCRIPTION:An authentic religious experience is both an awesome and a potentially fragmenting experience that challenges the very structure of our personality. When accepted\, contact with the numinosum may lead to transformation. Such contect may\, however\, instill terror and activate defense mechanisms. Dr. Corbett will discuss examples of religious experience\, the ways they may or may not be healing\, and the ways in which our own vulnerabilities and narcissistic defenses prevent us from experiencing their transforming power.

SUMMARY:Psyche and Nature
DESCRIPTION:Because of the innate and inner need of humans to produce images of central value to relate to the world around them (which Jung called the religious instinct)\, primitive men and women identified themselves with the faces of nature-mountains\, trees\, water\, and animals. Frightened as they may have been\, they did not feel alienated from themselves or the Universe. But the human family moved from this state of participation mystique with nature to the opposite pole of alienation from the Universe. This is reflected in our current planetary abuse of natural resources and animals. We must now re-connect with nature to effect healing upon our earth and continue our own individual growth. Our consciousness\, by nature of our capacity to remember\, to re-member and reflect\, can allow us to see the natural order of life. We are the space in which the Universe can be cherished in a new and intense manner. \nIn this workshop we will see how our everyday experiences can be used to remind us of our place in the natural order of things. NOTE: please wear comfortable clothing\, and bring a mat\, drawing material and a small picture of yourself as a young child.

SUMMARY:What Animals in Our Dreams Can Tell Us
DESCRIPTION:By looking at animals as they appear in our dreams (through information from analytical psychology\, myth and religion) we are provided with a window through which we can glimpse something deep within the instinctive-body-matter aspect of an individual’s psyche. We also glimpse the aspects of nature by which we know the inter-connectedness of all things. The animal can connect us to the instinctive level\, but it is a mistake to simply interpret all animals as instincts without respect for the amazing\, mysterious specificity within the psyche of choosing precisely the image required. \nInseeing is a term used by Ranier Marie Rilke to describe that exact moment in creation when God knew that each creature was perfect just as it was. By inseeing into the images of the animals in our dreams\, perhaps we can better understand what they can tell us.

SUMMARY:Gnostics: The Knowledge of the Heart: A Film Seminar
DESCRIPTION:A drama-documentary film made by Stephen Segaller\, creator/producer of The Wisdom of the Dream. Gnostics was winner of the Gold Medal for religious programs at the 31st New York International Film and Television Festival\, 1988.\nDr. Stephen A. Hoeller will offer an independent point of view. He will introduce the series\, provide commentary\, and moderate discussion.  \nGnostics is a film in four parts.  \nThe knowledge of the heart which the gnostics sought went beyond dogma and faith to individual experience of spiritual realities. Long suppressed\, the Gnostic pulse continued to beat until our era\, when Carl Jung recognized the vital importance of its orientation and conclusions for the Self\, for the feminine side of God\, for the problem of evil and for the place of human beings in the cosmos.  \nPart One documents the new light that has been cast on the early Gnostics following the 1945 discovery\, by an Egyptian peasant\, of the 2000 year old Nag Hammadi manuscripts.  \nAuthor/scholar/filmmaker Stephan Segaller then focuses on the Cathars of twelfth-century southern France\, who cast aside Church authority for a time and sought Gnosis in another form.  \nIn the third film\, Segaller shows hermetic philosophy\, alchemy\, magic\, and the Gnostic attitude coming to synthesis in Renaissance Italy at the time of the Medicis\, and the later impact of the myserious magician John Dee\, who may have inspred Shakespeare’s Prospero. Segaller also touches upon the modern-day use of hermetic principles.  \nThe last film deals with the Gnostic attitude towards tragedy\, the appeal of Gnosticism to Jung and contemporary practitioners of Gnosticism.  \nFeatured scholars\, therapists and actors include Nigel Harrison\, Elaine Pagels\, James Robinson\, Gilles Quispel\, Brian Blessed\, C.A. Meier\, Hans Jonas\, Aniela Jaffe\, June Singer\, and Carl Jung.

SUMMARY:Jung and the Lost Gnostic Gospels
DESCRIPTION:The Gnostic Gospels\, discovered in 1945 in Nag Hammadi\, Egypt\, contain material that has a profound bearing on the psychology of C.G. Jung. Jug himself showed a deep interest in Gnosticism in general\, and in the Nag Hammadi Gnostic writings in particular. The speaker will trace the origins of the Gnostic traditon from the heterodox Jewish tradition through early and later Christianity to its relevance to the psychological and cultural concerns of the present.

SUMMARY:Saturday's  Child: a Down-to-Earth Look into the Spiritual Problem of Our Time
DESCRIPTION:It is now the last day\, the Saturday\, of the twentieth century and the eon\, and we are face to face with what Jung saw as the spiritual task of the new age: uniting the opposites of the human psyche-conscious and unconscious\, light and dark\, good and evil\, ego and Self. To pretend to be good\, light\, true\, and beautiful\, denying what lives in the unsavory dark\, is not an adequate adaptation to our present reality. Only by facing the shadow can we become equal to our awesome ethical burden\, for we have stolen the power to destroy the planet from the gods. \nSaturday’s Child\, to be published in 1991\, tackles these issues obliquely. By weaving a tapestry of her own and her patients’ dreams and daily experience against a backdrop of world events\, the author makes the archetypal psyche visible in a personal and immediate way. \nThe workshop will afford an opportunity for deeper interaction. Additional material will be offered as time permits. It is desireable but not essential for workshop participants to attend the lecture.

SUMMARY:Sex in the Forbidden Zone: A Focal Point in the Struggle for Personal Transformation and Cultural Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rutter’s work on sexual exploitation does more than focus attention on seldom discussed areas of sexual boundary violation. He shows how forbidden-zone relationships\, when ethically pursued\, have immeasurable value in providing us access to the deepest resources of self\, which\, in turn\, can help us to explore and integrate personal shadow issues relating to power\, to sexual fantasy and to the search for healing and wholeness. The workshop will allow discussion of the way these personal issues are linked in the forbidden zone to wider social issues such as our culture’s struggle to re-balance masculine and feminine power\, and to re-value the inner life and the life of the unconscious.

SUMMARY:Sex in the Forbidden Zone: When Men in Power Betray Women’s Trust
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rutter’s recently published book has challenged both professionals and their clients to confront the hidden epidemic of sexual contact between male professionals-therapists\, doctors\, clergy\, lawyers\, teachers\, and mentors-and women under their care or tutelage\, Dr. Rutter will elaborate on his Jungian understanding of the archetypal power emanating from the unconscious that can invest forbidden-zone relationships with overwhelming erotic allure. He will also discuss ways in which both men and women can develop healthier means of dealing with sexual boundary problems over which they may feel lack of control\, ambivalence\, or vulnerability to invasion.

SUMMARY:INFP: The Typological Counterculture
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will explore the Psyche-Eros myth as it relates to INFP development and individual dreams and experiences of the participants. The workshop will be of value to INFP personalities as well as to other types who seek individuation in the second half of life. Its centerpiece\, introverted feeling\, is necessary\, as Jung shows\, to connect with the self and others. \nReading: Eric Neumann Armor and Psyche; Robert Johnson\, She; Jung “Two Stages of Life”; and Hirsh and Kummerow\, Life Types

SUMMARY:INFP: The Typological Counterculture
DESCRIPTION:“Freud…interpreted the introverted type as an individual morbidly concerned with himself. But introspection and self-knowledge can just as well be of the greatest value and importance.”\n“…emotional value (i.e. feeling) must be kept in mind and allowed for throughout the whole intellectual process of dream interpretation”\nJung\, Man and His Symbols \nUsing the typological system developed by C.G. Jung\, we will examine the dilemma of the INFP (Introverted\, Intuitive\, Feeling\, Perceptive) type living in a predominately ESTJ (Extroverted\, Sensation\, Thinking\, Judgemental) masculine ethos. Typically\, INFP persons experience similar problems and challenges in dreams and in life. Often misunderstood and mistreated\, they may feel like strangers in a strange land. However\, we must recognize that as we enter an Einsteinian-Aquarian age\, this more “feminine\,” childlike\, communal\, and interior orientation is actively needed. \nThe lecture will present a general perspective on Jung’s typology and how it fits into his overall psychology. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of understanding types as a dynamic energy system\, and not as a way of classifying people.

SUMMARY:The Feminine Aspect of Wisdom: The Dove and the Stone
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop Alice Howell will introduce us to Hagia Sophia\, the archetype of feminine wisdom\, who in myth was with God  a co-creator of the manifest world\, symbolized by the dove and the original Third Person of the Trinity. Sophia today represents an evolution of our view of the feminine\, and therefore of “matter” (mater) and nature. Through the influence of Sophia one can feel the world aglow with love and meaning. Sophia can help us begin to know the process of recognizing the sacred in the commonplace in our everyday lives; then we would be able to see “the Kingdom of Heaven which is spread upon the earth.” Alice teaches in the gentlest possible way the most profound truth of all: “The dove can only be released from the stone through love…”

SUMMARY:Jungian Synchronicity in Astrological Signs and Ages
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture Alice Howell will show us in her unique\, original way the relevance of astrological signs to self acceptance\, deeper understanding\, and healing of the individual psyche. She will touch on the relevance of astrology to the evolution of the collective unconscious and the astronomical ages (a span of 12\,000 years) and the development of human consciousness as shown in history through mythological and religious symbolism. This leads us logically step-by-step to the present tasks and potential traps for humanity in the coming age.

SUMMARY:The Soul of Healing
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will present slides and encourage discussion relating the manifestation of soul in the mineral\, plant\, and animal worlds to the expression of soul in bodily\, emotional\, and psychic/spiritual afflictions. The conversations will focus on stimulating the homeopathic imagination bringing about the realization that attending to soul is at the same time a healing of body\, spirit\, and world.

SUMMARY:Homeopathy: The Soul in the Inner and Outer World
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture we shall explore homeopathy as a process of soul-making\, a creative aligning of the soul of the outer world with the inner soul. Through a careful description of this system of therapeutics brought into relation with the psychology of C.G. Jung\, we shall find that homeopathy re-discovers for our time the secret of the Alchemical art: that psyche is the inner essence of outer things. Archetypal images in the mineral\, plant\, and animal worlds are presented along with a description of the freeing of the soul qualities from the material aspect of these realms through dilution and potentialization. Then\, the suggestion that psychological healing is complete only when the capacity to perceive the soul in the outer world is explored. The aim is to show that soul work is a homeopathic art.
