We will review essays on:

This is a perfect opportunity to learn about and widen our knowledge of Dr. Jung’s approach to and use of alchemy, art, literature, and sinology in psychoanalysis.

As a central notion in Jungian psychology, individuation generally has been treated as a hard-won goal, following a model of heroic efforts to achieve a realization of the self. In this course we will look at how Jung developed this concept as a type of modern spirituality. Drawing upon ancient and medieval philosophical roots coupled with a prolonged confrontation with the unconscious, during his “Red Book” period (1913-1932), we will explore the path which led him to this vision of human potentiality.
This will be followed by an examination of potential extensions: synchronicity will be seen as a needed, fundamental conceptual bridge towards a fuller, more holistic conceptualization of individuation. An approach to a reenchantment of the mind, and of the world emerges from this extension. Further, consideration of contemporary complexity theory offers a path towards a broad revision of Jung’s opus. Consequently, the notion of individuation into to a more open-ended, dynamic process, which includes a critique of its classical “heroic” orientation. Collective, cultural dimensions to individuation can then be considered and better appreciated.
More controversially, we will look at the post-mortem potentiality of individuation, starting with Jung’s own beliefs. Exploration of unconscious imagery will be considered in terms of a recovery and reanimation of the forgotten gods/goddesses of the netherworlds in various cultures. Individuation in this way becomes a collective enterprise to restore and revitalize psychic verticality and open space for the reality of the imagination.

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.
