John Van Eenwyck: Archetypal Theory and Child-Raising
|
Lecture: Archetypal Dimensions of Child-Raising
The archetypal dimensions of child-raising appear in many activities.
From the actual raising of our children, to improving childish aspects
of our own personalities, to developing our society's potential
for new ways of living, to improving the adaptability of the human
race, the dynamics are the same. In this lecture Dr. Van Eenwyk
will break new ground to provide a conceptual framework for taking
Jung's formulations on archetypes into this crucial dimension of
our lives.
Workshop: Operation of the Archetypes in the Stages of
Child Development
The lessons of child-raising apply to many different areas of
psychological development. Archetypal child-raising seeks to
describe those patterns of dynamics that are common to all of these
arenas. Whether we focus on the child without or the child within,
or deal with issues of how we were raised or how we raise our
children, this workshop will be an exploration of what seems to work
and what doesn't. The overarching concern is with the play between
archetype and instinct in the individuation process during the
different stages of development.
John Van Eenwyck, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst practicing in
Olympia, WA. He is also an ordained priest in the Episcopal Church
of America. He has extensive experience both as a clinical
practitioner and a teacher in the mental health field, and has
authored numerous articles on a diverse array of topics in
psychoanalytical journals. His latest book is entitled: Chaos
and Strange Attractors: The Chaotic World of Symbols, published
by Inner City Books, Toronto, 1997.

Janice Conklin Taylor: Myth of Orpheus and Healing the Splits Between us
|
Lecture: Feminine Mysteries in the Myth of Orpheus
Why did Orpheus lose his bride on the day they were to be married?
Are the reasons similar to those which cause failure in relationships
today? Orpheus was unwilling to accept this loss, and he became
the only mortal in Greek mythology to risk his own life by
descending into the underworld to retrieve his beloved. His gift
for music rivaled that of the gods, enabling him to charm the
King and Queen of Hades into releasing his newly deceased bride.
Orpheus was recognized as the most important poet in Greek
mythology. This lecture will include images from the myth of
Orpheus to illuminate the contemporary problem between men and
women, and between the human species and nature.
Workshop: Healing the Splits Between Us
The potential for healing these splits is implicit in the words
of the French philosopher Jacques Maritain as he reports the
ancient definition of poetry: "that intercommunication between
the inner being of things and inner being of the human self..."
The workshop will include monologue, poetry, music, visual image,
reflection, and discussion of the voices presented in myths to
better understand everyday relationships.
Janice Conklyn Taylor, M.A., Ed.S., is a Jungian analyst
practicing in Washington, D.C. She frequently lectures, teaches,
and consults in the areas of analytical, developmental, and

Nancy Dougherty: Vampires, Eroticism, & the Lure of the Unconscious
and Animal Body, Animal Soul
|
Lecture: Vampires, Eroticism, & the Lure of the Unconscious
While many contemporary works of fiction expand on the legends of
vampires, it is an ancient theme. Symbolically, we can imagine
vampires as unconscious energy that preys on our feelings of desire,
preys on the desire to connect to life itself. What is the meaning
of these dark forces that can rob us of our libidinal connections
to life? And how might the hand of the Self be working through
this dark mythology? In this lecture Nancy will use Ann Rice's
novel The Witching Hour to focus on the sensual lure to
remain unconscious, and the kind of courage that is needed to face
individuation.
Workshop: Animal Body, Animal Soul
Native people have always looked to animals as important teachers
and appreciated their soulful qualities. Whether predator or prey,
bird, reptile, mammal, or amphibian, knowing the nature and habits
of the animals inhabiting our dreams can lead us into greater
integration, authenticity, embodiment. Attending to these animals
can assist us in developing an authentic libidinized life. Through
the experience of play, interaction with animal images, and active
imagination, this workshop will explore the instinctual aspects
of the psyche.
Nancy Dougherty, A.C.S.W., is a Jungian analyst in private
practice in Birmingham, Michigan. Recent publications include
Snow White: Death, Desire, and Transformation in Psyche
Speaks, Volume 3; and Vampires, Eroticism, & the Lure of the
Unconscious in The Soul of Popular Culture.

Jean Chodorow: Active Imagination
|
Lecture: A New Look at Active Imagination
For Jung, life is paradox, so it is not surprising that he described
his most important ideas in paradoxical ways. On the one hand,
active imagination is a meditative procedure or expressive technique
meant to be used by the patient alone, away from the analyst. On the
other hand, by linking active imagination to his symbolic method of
dream interpretation and to the dynamics of the therapeutic
relationship, Jung seems to be laying the groundwork for a
comprehensive method of psychotherapy. In its deepest sense,
active imagination is a central, self-reflective psychological
attitude drawing from the creative resources of human culture:
aesthetic, religious, philosophical, and social.
Workshop: Moving Active Imagination
This one-day workshop will introduce a way to use body to express
imagination: it involves a mover, a witness, and the dynamics of
their relationship. Sometimes called "authentic movement" or
"movement in depth", it is a form of active imagination as well as
a way to explore the dynamics of projection and empathy.
Participants are invited to bring journals and/or art materials.
Joan Chodorow, Ph.D., is an analyst member of the C.G. Jung
Institute of San Francisco, in private practice. Publications
include Dance Therapy and Depth Psychology - The Moving
Imagination (Roulege 1981) and C.G. Jung on Active
Imagination (Princeton University Press, 1997).

John Beebe: Integrity and the I Ching
|
Lecture: A Textbook of Integrity: A Contemporary Commentary
on the I Ching
The I Ching is an oracular book which has been used for
divination in China for at least 3000 years. Although it has
shamanic roots and Taoist content, the I Ching is one of the
foundations of Confucian philosophy, which places emphasis on the
correct handling of situations. In the West, students of C.G. Jung's
psychology have turned to the I Ching when an archetypal issue
demands an ethical standpoint. In this lecture, Dr. Beebe will
relate the philosophy underlying this ancient text to the psychology
of integrity that has been developing for Jungian analysis.
Workshop: Living with the I Ching
C.G. Jung used the I Ching to anticipate the dynamics of the
Self in problematical situations. His many inquiries of the
traditional Chinese oracle convinced him of its reliability as an
analytical method. What can we learn about human dilemmas by
following the way of the I Ching? How can we determine
when it is appropriate to consult it? What would a life look like
if lived in accordance with its guidance? In this workshop Dr. Beebe
will work interactively with participants to explore these questions.
John Beebe, M.D., is a Jungian analyst practicing in San
Francisco. He is the U.S. editor of The Journal of Analytical
Psychology. An internationally recognized Jungian lecturer,
he is the founding editor of the The San Francisco Jung Institute
Library and author of Integrity in Depth.
