The laws of nature suggest that in addition to dominion\, reciprocity is also an integral psychic dynamic\, a part of life that we’ve always known but seem to have forgotten. We need to be reminded. How do we encourage a realignment with and actively engage reciprocity?

In relationships\, we want to be treated as equals and to be seen and known for ourselves. Equal and reciprocal love between adults\, in marriage and committed partnerships\, is in many ways more problematic and unhappy now than ever\, after decades of struggle for gender equality and sexual freedom. 21st century love requires new psychological and spiritual skills that are go beyond secure attachment or “improved communication.” \nThis day-long workshop will show specifically how and why well-meaning couples who “know how to communicate” still get caught up in harmful emotional patterns if they do not understand their inner lives\, as individuals. Real dialogue requires the creation of a “mindful gap” in which partners relate as adults who recognize and take responsibility for their own thoughts and feelings. \nDrawing on object relations\, Jungian theory\, Dialogue Therapy (originated and practiced by the speaker)\, as well as mindfulness and Buddhist teachings\, this workshop will give an overview of what has to happen in order for couples to change their emotional behavior and learn how “mind the gap” between them with respect and compassion.

No matter how else it functions in our lives\, love will include loss\, separation or betrayal. In this lecture I will address the question\, “What is love\, anyway?” We will talk about loss in the context of the Buddha’s teachings about reality. This lecture presents a new context for personal love as a spiritual practice of deep acceptance of the human condition.

The myth offers the example of spirit and matter integrated in law and political economy. We use this myth and its teachings to interrogate legislative initiatives in the For the Peoples’ Act and the John Lewis Act. We then explore Jung’s construct of Active Imagination to construct images of the good society. We will imagine together core elements of the good society\, Multicultural democracy and the psychological resistances that undermine the architecture of the vision.

We take the archetype of the Life Cycle\, common to all living beings\, and ground it in visual arts as expressions of the aesthetics\, art\, and culture of the African Diaspora. We’ll explore how the commonalities and differences in Pan African sculpture\, as metaphor\, bridge consciousness to multiculturalism and world view.

You’ll have an opportunity to learn from and engage with Analysts who are experts in their fields. \nRegistration is now open for the Winter 2022 online seminar: Psyche’s Stories: Wisdom from the Depths for the Spirit of the Times. In keeping with our entire 2021-2022 Lecture series\, the seminar will be held online\, via Zoom Meeting. Attendance is limited to 15 participants. \nPlease see the seminar description below for details and registration information. \nPsyche’s Stories: Wisdom from the Depths for the Spirit of the Times \nC.G. Jung’s revelation of the mytho-poetic dimension of the human psyche\, i.e.\, its story-making structure\, gave credence to his hypothesis of the collective unconscious\, its archetypal images and their healing intent.  In this seminar\, we explore the wisdom hidden in the Scottish fairy tale Maol a Chliobain and in the ancient myth Amor and Psyche. Together\, we will discover how these age-old stories can provide solace\, meaning and guidance during times of upheaval and transition. \nIn Maol a Chliobain\, we ask what it means to receive a mother’s blessing or curse; we feel into being tied to a rock and left behind; we recognize the pattern of moving into and out of a Giant’s laird without being caught…and then link these symbolic images to Jungian concepts such as the formation of one’s shadow and psychological complexes\, the cultivation of one’s anima and animus\, and the individuation process itself.   Our aim is to cultivate symbolic perception and apply it to everyday life. \nIn Amor and Psyche we behold Aphrodite\, the great goddess of love and beauty\, and wonder at the torture she makes Psyche endure for usurping her claim to being the most beautiful. We ponder whether there’s more to this story than Aphrodite’s jealous claim and whether the outrageous behavior of this Greek goddess\, like that of many other Greek gods\, actually has something of great importance to impart. Finally\, we look for the reverberations of Amor and Psyche in modern stories and films to understand their hold on us and to identify new variations on the ancient themes. \nReading assignments and material will be made available to all participants in advance of the sessions.\n \nDates and Times\n\nSundays from 1:00 – 3:00 pm\n\nSchedule\nMaol a Chliobain: A Scottish Fairytale \n\nJanuary 30\, 2022 – Jenny Gordon\nFebruary 6 – Jenny Gordon\nFebruary 13 – Jenny Gordon\n\nThe Ancient Myth of Amor and Psyche \n\nFebruary 27 – Diana Oxley\nMarch 6 – Diana Oxley\nMarch 13 – Diana Oxley\n\nCost\n\n12 hours of instruction: $195 (OFJ members: $185)\nSorry\, we are unable to offer refunds.\nContinuing Education Credits are available\, with one hour of CE credit for each hour of attendance.

We will focus on the archetypal principles associated with Saturn\, Uranus\, Neptune\, and Pluto\, each of which is profoundly consequential for individuation\, moving us towards psychological maturity\, creative awakening\, spiritual realization\, and deep transformation.

What\, many of us wonder\, might be the nature of a mythology to come? In this talk\, we will consider the role of an archetypal astrology as a cosmological perspective that could help us better understand our relationship to the universal powers and principles shaping our experience and provide mythic orientation for our lives.

She is desperately unhappy about how humans fail to take care of the integrity of earth’s nature. The performance reveals Aidos’ grief for her death\, and for their two children who also make their descent\, following her tracks. Persephone’s Wake concludes with hopeful resolve from Persephone’s children to care for future cycles of generative life: a myth updated for our time. \nThis is a question for us all now. To answer requires listening not only to the spirit of the times and the spirit of the deep\, but also to the spirit of place\, bringing consciousness to our embeddedness within the living world as our home\, a central awareness within Indigenous cultures. We need to evolve depth psychological community practices in response to the climate and ecological crisis\, not only to bear witness to and engage with the destructions and the dark impulses that drive it\, but also to commit to creative actions of care for all beings rooted in place. San Roque refers to the interwoven “simultaneous care of sentient souls and care of ecosystems” as “the Persephone Impulse”. It is for each of us to connect to and give form to this impulse\, countering a collective psychosis of disconnection and blindness to who we are and where we dwell\, by fostering earth care and challenging destructive practices and beliefs based upon cultural myths of entitlement\, exceptionalism and endless growth. \nPersephone’s Wake belongs within a trilogy of performance works\, which also include Persephone’s Dog and Persephone’s Heart\,  that are re-imagined from Central Australia and take place simultaneously in ancient and contemporary times. Persephone’s Dog & Persephone’s Heart is published in the Ancient Greece/Modern Psyche series  edited by Thomas Singer et al.  Persephone’s Wake is included in the Routledge\, 2021 book Depth Psychology and Climate Change. \n  URL:https://ofj.org/event/persephones-wake-2/ LOCATION:Zoom Webinar\, OR\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211203T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211203T210000 DTSTAMP:20260618T192611 CREATED:20210729T223206Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211215T001220Z UID:52206-1638558000-1638565200@ofj.org SUMMARY:Persephone’s Heart/Persephone’s Wake DESCRIPTION:This special weekend program presents a radically different take on the meaning of the Persephone myth. It comes out of an imaginative perspective that mixes Australian desert experience with old Mediterranean folklore and the harsh\, confusing anxieties we face today around war\, climate and our environment. Through performance and presentation\, visuals\, discussion and reflection\, we will explore this psycho-mythological perspective. \nIn Persephone’s Heart Craig and Miriam recount the story of how and why an original creation force of nature became humanized as the daughter of Demeter/Gaia. Persephone needs to know how humans feel\, and she undertakes a painful journey of becoming human\, falling in love with Aidos\, and bearing children. Only then can she return to her mother Demeter\, where they initiate the Eleusinian Mysteries of death/rebirth. The play draws upon understandings of both European and Australian creation stories and how mythic beings assume human/animal form and incarnate as geographic sites. \nWriting from his own experience of working with Australian Indigenous communities\, San Roque links the devastating consequences of colonization on Australia’s traditional owners and their country to “the psychosis of the time” which “keeps one eye open and shuts the other.” San Roque identifies Jung’s Red Book visioning as Biblical and Northern European in heritage\, before exploring his own hybrid visioning combining this same heritage with his knowledge and experience of Indigenous Australian literature\, song cycles and practices. He asks himself “what unconscious fantasy drives my response to climate change anxiety?” His response emerges in stories – mythic and present time – of care for country\, alive even in the midst of climate catastrophes\, and an active imagination in the form of a community theatre work entitled ‘Persephone’s Wake’. This is a cathartic lament\, full of anger\, confusion\, despair and love\, which takes San Roque and his audience deep into a world where the old seasonal cycles celebrated in the ancient Near Eastern myths of Persephone and Demeter and Inanna can no longer operate\, and Persephone dies from exhaustion\, mourned by her children Kore and Kouros. The central question that surfaces through this\, is the same as the one Jung responded to in The Red Book\, “Will you accept this destruction?” URL:https://ofj.org/event/persephones-wake/ LOCATION:Zoom Webinar\, OR\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ofj.org/wp-content/uploads/Slide2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211113T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211113T150000 DTSTAMP:20260618T192611 CREATED:20210729T230025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211111T020554Z UID:52204-1636797600-1636815600@ofj.org SUMMARY:The Absent Father Effect on Daughters: Father Desire\, Father Wounds DESCRIPTION:The workshop will illuminate through a fairy tale and discussion the ramifications of identification with or ignorance of the absent father. Because a daughter does not appear in his vision\, she receives no reflection from him. She is left to wonder of her value and if she is worthy of loving herself and others. She retains a hole in her heart\, the threads of her personality ruptured. His absence may lead him to question what he wishes for her\, and how he has damaged and limited her growth. Participants will have experiential opportunities to explore ways to repair the missing pieces. Both lecture and workshop apply to everyone\, as the aspects of fathers and daughters are internal figures\, appear in dreams and in all relationships. Being trapped in a complex of absence and lack can sap energy and deplete the person and the culture.

Harm is done due to the presence of the father’s absence\, affecting a daughter—and the father–in body\, mind\, and soul. The father is an essential aspect of the psyche and significant for the daughter’s psychological and physical life\, personally and culturally. Topics of the psyche affected by the absent father include the negative father complex\, puella archetype and the concept of the animus. The Friday talk will focus on the daughter- father  relationship in order to shed light on its lack\, symptoms and problems\, as well as begin to address its repair.

He speaks to us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees us from the way we see ourselves. When\, therefore\, we find ourselves in a difficult situation to which there is no solution\, he can sometimes kindle a light that radically alters our attitude – the very attitude that led us into the difficult situation. \nC.G. Jung\, Civilization in Transition ( CW 10\, para 325) \nUnderstanding dreams is difficult. Understanding our own dreams sometimes seems almost impossible. Even for those who have studied dreams for many years\, one’s own dreams can remain frustratingly opaque. Why is it so difficult to understand what the unconscious is trying to tell us\, and how can we get better at hearing its messages to us? This weekend we will explore dream interpretation with the aim of making it easier for us to work with our own dreams. On Friday we’ll look at basic principles of Jungian dream work and learn techniques and skills that foster deepened understanding.

Working with Large Psychic Energies DESCRIPTION:Oregon Friends of Jung\, in partnership with The Pacific Northwest Society of Jungian Analysts\, continues our series of seminars designed to deepen your knowledge of Jungian psychology. You’ll have an opportunity to learn from and engage with Analysts who are experts in their fields. \nRegistration is now open for the Fall 2021 online seminar: What is an Archetype? Working with Large Psychic Energies. In keeping with our entire 2021-2022 Lecture series\, the seminar will be held online\, via Zoom Meeting. Attendance is limited to 15 participants. \nPlease see the seminar description below for details and registration information. \nWhat is an Archetype? Working with Large Psychic Energies \nFor Jung\, archetypes are basic forces in the human psyche that form part of our genetic or at least emergent mental heritage. They inhabit the collective unconscious. Jung believed that the human psyche was organized around fundamental experiences common to all humankind\, experiences such as having a mother or father or having or being a child. Thus there is a mother archetype\, father archetype\, and child archetype with the latter sometimes taking on a spiritual element in the form of the divine child. Archetypes are also found in psychic movement\, in dynamic processes such as rebirth\, in becoming\, in individuation. \nArchetypes describe human experiences of great intensity; where the unbound energies exceed the capacity of the ego to contain them. Experiences of such scope and depth are likely to arise in many human lives at some point\, with a range of baffling\, profound\, and sometimes disturbing effects. They may be numinous. They may give us access to the light\, or the dark\, or both. Although an archetypal engagement usually involves large forces\, these energies can at times come through the side door\, and somewhat paradoxically be encountered in small or ordinary happenings in our inner or outer lives.

We will then return to exploring and deepening understandings of the intelligences involved\, considering them from the perspective of the alchemical notion of the lumen naturae (the lights in nature). Possible links revealed by recent research have begun to reveal new understandings of ancient oracular traditions. Combining these threads\, we will seek to appreciate an oracular dimension of nature at the foundation of our vision of the unconscious\, and thus a basis for a revision and expansion of our sense of self.

G. Jung died\, great strides in understanding of whole systems have occurred.  It is now time to apply a holistic/systemic approach to a Jung’s model of the psyche with the aim of contemporizing our views of the unconscious.  In particular\, we will look at how ecological formulations offer richer\, more complex models of the psyche\, revealing a far more interconnected universe than previously imagined.   Examples of intelligences in nature will provide potential ways to explore layers of the unconscious not often taken into consideration. This will be augmented by recent studies on altered states of consciousness which have access to types of knowledge not readily accessible in other ways\, with qualities similar to oracles from the ancient world\, such as the Pythia at Delphi.

You’ll have an opportunity to learn from and engage with Analysts who are experts in their fields. \nRegistration is now open for the Spring 2021 online seminar: The Dynamic Psyche:  Working with the Unconscious as Psychic Energy. In keeping with our entire 2020-2021 Lecture series\, the seminar will be held online\, via Zoom Meeting. Attendance is limited to 15 participants. \nPlease see the seminar description below\, or visit ofj.org for details and registration. \nThe Dynamic Psyche:  Working with the Unconscious as Psychic Energy \nThe seminar will continue to examine the relationship to the unconscious that was the subject of the seminar given by Dunbar Carpenter and Robert Stuckey in the fall of 2019.  New and previous participants are welcome to attend. The unconscious makes its presence known in many forms\, including emotion\, imagination\, impulses\, and laughter as well as through images and dreams.  We will examine some of the forms through which the unknown parts of the psyche express themselves as part of their movement to become conscious.  For Jung\, this dialogue between the known and the unknown\, this relationship with the unconscious\, was fundamental to the psychic development he called individuation.  All psychic growth happens out of the new\, and the new always emerges from the unknown through a process Jung described as the transcendent function.  There will be a focus on the dynamic aspects of this dialogue\, on the psyche in motion\, on the unconscious as a verb rather than a noun. \nReadings for the first part of the seminar will be from Two Essays on Analytical Psychology\, which comprise Volume 7 of Jung’s Collected Works.  Participants are encouraged to purchase Volume 7 which should be available in paperback for under $25.  It is the best general introduction to Jung’s work in his own words. The primary reading for the second part of the seminar will be Jung’s essay on The Transcendent Function which is in Volume 8 of the Collected Works.\n\n \nDates and Times\n\nSundays from 1:00 – 3:00 pm\n\nSchedule\n\nMay 2\, 2021 – Dunbar Carpenter\nMay 9\, 2021 – Dunbar Carpenter\nMay 16\, 2021 – Dunbar Carpenter\nMay 30\, 2021 – Robert Stuckey\nJune 6\, 2021 – Robert Stuckey\nJune 13\,  2021 – Robert Stuckey\n\nCost\n\n12 hours of instruction: $195 (OFJ members: $185)\nSorry\, we are unable to offer refunds.\nContinuing Education Credits are available\, with one hour of CE credit for each hour of attendance.

Jung jotted down his crowning reflections concerning the Self’s inborn capacity to heal. He focused on the mythology of number symbolism in dreams as portraying the Self’s deepest creative potential. Too exhausted in his 80’s to take the discussion further\, he passed these reflections on to Marie-Louise von Franz. His handwritten page has recently come to light and details number symbolism’s central importance in the Self’s foundation of meaningful living. Friday’s lecture explores Jung’s note in his own hand and then surveys von Franz’s elaboration of his wider and concluding viewpoint in her book Number and Time.

What are some examples of common pathologic states? What are our reflexive protections against pathology? What are the challenges of living in a pathogenic world\, and with a pathologized soul? We will analyze three “cases” drawn from modern literature\, and then examine our own anxiety management systems.

This program will explore these most human of experiences—pride\, envy\, gluttony\, lust\, anger\, greed\, sloth—through the lens of analytic psychology\, and explore their causes\, mechanisms\, self-defeating consequences\, and their continuing\, contemporary challenges to us.

Teachings from alchemy and Sufism\, and from the doorway between life and death will be used as springboards for active imagination and discussion. Applying alchemy\, and working with dreams\, myths\, koans\, images from film and the practice of active imagination\, we will create an alchemical laboratory for growing one’s own experiences of the subtle body realms where spirit and matter together form a psychophysical unitary reality.

How do they prepare us for death\, our own and for the death of loved ones? When the veils between the worlds become very thin\, our world views can alchemically change\, opening us to the psychoid and to life changing experiences in the imaginal realms of reality. The experience of the metaphor of death is continually at the center of any authentic and lasting transformation. Alchemy and Jung’s work are built around this as the cornerstone of transformational processes\, individually and collectively.

You’ll have an opportunity to learn from and engage with Analysts who are experts in their fields. \nThe masculine and feminine archetypes are ever-present in the collective unconscious. By bringing more consciousness to the emerging re-balance of these archetypes\, we participate in the growth of the collective by tending to our inner lives. As Jung wrote\, “what is the fate of great nations but a summation of the psychic changes in individuals?” (CW 9i\, p. 47). We will explore the interconnection between the inner and outer Masculine and Feminine and discuss pathways toward a new collaboration. \nIn keeping with our entire 2020-2021 Lecture series\, the seminar will be held online\, via Zoom Meeting.

This alienation often leads to encounters in life and in therapy where they feel unable to describe what happens inside them. They prefer to spend hours each day online rather than interacting with real people as cyberspace becomes an alternate container for their projections of distress. The manifestation of apocalyptic fantasies of destruction will be considered as an expression of pain\, rage\, and shame that preoccupy many boys and young men.

These images have archetypal elements that are also represented in Western art. We compare examples to the images in a popular videogame\, Fortnite\, and show the similarities in form\, structure\, theme\, and coloration. What do such images tell us about destructive imaginings and their grip on the psyche? Many popular videogames use apocalyptic settings for a fight for survival\, and the centrality of apocalyptic vision for destructive fantasies will be discussed.

These powerful mages stimulate the imagination\, tell a symbolic story of meaning\, and connect us to our creative souls. \nThe Tarot is evocative and like our dreams brings symbolism alive. According to C.G. Jung\, symbols and archetypes are the means by which the psyche/soul speaks. The tarot has 78 cards with correspondences to astrological glyphs\, Hebrew mysticism\, numerology and mythological and alchemical imagery. Each card stimulates our imagination in complex and multilayered ways. The cards provide a non-verbal language through which we can find universal as well as personal\, social\, cultural and collective meaning. \nOn Saturday through didactic\, experiential and meditative encounters with the cards\, different aspects of the Self and primordial archetypes will be revealed.  Archetypal patterns from the collective unconscious will be studied regarding how they connect us to new understandings found in older esoteric knowledge. The Tarot will be used to understand Jungian psychology and depth spirituality. \nDecks to be used: Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Deck and the Rider/Waite Deck URL:https://ofj.org/event/living-symbols-of-the-tarot-a-journey-through-archetypal-patterns-of-soul-2/ LOCATION:Zoom Webinar\, OR\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201204T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201204T204500 DTSTAMP:20260618T192611 CREATED:20200825T210456Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201203T163438Z UID:43998-1607108400-1607114700@ofj.org SUMMARY:Living Symbols of the Tarot: A Journey Through Archetypal Patterns of Soul DESCRIPTION:A journey through the Tarot cards is primarily a journey into our depths providing a bridge to the mysteries and ancestral wisdom of our innermost selves.
