This workshop focuses 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 presents historical sketches and examples, including the dreams of two young students who resisted Nazi terror; the legend of St. 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 Whiteley, and the symbol of the Labyrinth. A symbol becomes a symbol only after it touches us emotionally. Dr. Asper discusses how she came to choose the different themes of the workshop and what each symbol touched in her.
