"Basic Jung: Active Imagination in the Journey of Individuation"
We will explore how engaging imaginatively with our dreams, fantasies, affects, and other energies arising from the Unconscious can heal emotional wounds, transform our sense of self worth, enable us to withstand collective pressure to conform, and foster a self of our own, which does not collapse under stress. On site and on Zoom.

"The Legacy of Screams that Could Not be Screamed"
Exploring how the ideas of D. W. Winnicott and C.G. Jung help us work with core issues encountered in analysis with adults. Silenced voices include the grandiose engineer who discovers his ordinariness, the puella who finds meaning in her art, and the businessman who repeats his abusive childhood.

 “Ethnology as Mirror”
Jung traveled to non-Western societies to see himself though the eyes of others. What unrecognized and unexamined aspects of ourselves, our attitudes, values, and norms, might be mirrored back to us from an encounter with another culture? How may this experience contribute to our individuation? On site and on Zoom.
