Symbols of Transformation – A brief introduction, with Olga E. Turcotte, MIM

Date – September 6, 2025
Time –  10 am to noon
Cost – $40
On Zoom


Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, 1484-1486

Considered by many as his “piece de resistance”, the contents of C. G. Jung’s book on symbols and their importance in our conscious as well as our unconscious lives will be the topic of our first seminar.

Dr. Jung drew material from art, dreams, ethnology, literature, mythology, psychology and religion, among other fields in his work, and because of his consideration of many literary works (Classical, Oriental, Western) Symbols of Transformation has always had a special interest for lovers of literature.

This is a perfect opportunity to learn about Jung and symbols, regardless of whether you are new to or well-versed in his works. We will go over some of the priceless 130 illustrations in the book and discuss Jung’s comments as well as share our own personal understanding of them, to the extent we feel comfortable.

Participants are NOT required to obtain the text as all relevant material will be provided.

The seminar is limited to 20 participants so please sign up early!

A 6-Week Daytime Dream Group for Previous and New Participants , Writers, Artists, Storytellers, and Clinicians, with Jill Fischer

Date – September 10th – October 15th, 2025
Time – Wednesdays: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Cost – $150 Adults / $75 Students and Seniors
On Zoom

You are invited to join a small interactive dream group for writers, artists, storytellers and clinicians interested in exploring their own and the dreams of others. This is not a therapy group, but individuals will learn a method of working with dreams and the creative imagination that will enhance their understanding of how dreams can influence their creative projects. Clinicians will also learn to use this method in their work with clients.

 

 

During the dream group, participants are guided to re-enter the landscape of each participant’s dreams. A slow and careful exploration of the dream images, from a variety of perspectives, elicits sensations and affective states that are experienced in the body. This work is known to lead to an increased depth of the creative imagination and a profound sense of one’s own humanity.
