You are invited to join a small interactive dream group experience for previous attendees and new 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 an understanding of how dreams can influence creative projects. Clinicians will also learn to use this method in their work with clients.
Participants will be guided to re-enter the landscape of one’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.

“Something of the abysmal darkness of the world has broken in on us, poisoning the very air we breath and befouling the pure water with the stale, nauseating taste of blood.” C. G. Jung
In response to the outbreak of The Second World War, Jung wrote one of his most compelling and passionate articles, entitled; “After the Catastrophe”. His plea was for humanity to understand the unimaginable power of the dark unconscious and the collective contagion accompanying unconscious evil. Never reticent to address the reality of evil and the consequences of the eruptive forces from the Psyche, he sought to understand something of the genesis of these pernicious contents.
Drawing on the correspondence between Einstein and Freud in a little known book entitled “Why War” coupled with the work of Jung, Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi, and others, we will look at the nature of these archetypal contents which are manifested as Crimes Against Humanity. So too we will look at those beginning signs alerting us to the constellation and potential emergence of this dark unconscious into the personal, collective and global society.
Perhaps there is no better time to consider Jung’s prophetic comments that: “The world hangs on a thin thread, and that is the psyche of man…(The} H-bomb; that is all man’s doing. WE are the great danger. The psyche is the great danger. What if something goes wrong with the psyche?… It is demonstrated to us in our days what the power of the psyche is of man, how important it is to know something about it. But we know nothing about it” and later adding “We have not understood yet that the discovery of the unconscious means an enormous spiritual task, which must be accomplished if we wish to preserve our civilization.”
Dr. Michael Conforti, PHD, is a Jungian analyst and the Founder and Director of the Assisi Institute. He is a faculty member at the C. G. Jung Institute of Boston, the C. G. Jung Foundation of New York, and for many years served as a Senior Associate faculty member in the Doctoral and Master’s Programs in Clinical Psychology at Antioch New England. A pioneer in the field of matter-psyche studies, Dr. Conforti is actively investigating the workings of archetypal fields and the relationship between Jungian psychology and the New Sciences. He is currently working on a new book, Hidden Presence: Archetypes, Spells, Possessions and the Complex.
