SEMINAR: Entering The Red Book
Jacqueline West, PhD and Monika Wikman, PhD February 1 and March 1 Time: 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM (lunch included) Location: 1536 Bishops Lodge Rd Santa Fe, NM 87574 Fee: $200 CEU's 12 Reading selected segments of The Red Book, by C. G. Jung, we will consider what psychological processes are being portrayed from both alchemical and clinical perspectives. As we examine Jung's capacity to allow himself to be anchored in agony and embraced by love, we'll explore what it takes to meet and forge a relationship between the opposing forces that threaten to tear us apart - individually, interpersonally, and culturally. We'll discuss the various components of narcissistic dynamics, how the unimpeded emergence of flexible and humble consciousness supports the individual's capacity to first form, and then meet and transform, essential narcissistic dynamics. In these discussions, we'll trace the alchemical operations that are at work in these processes. For information and registration please call Jacqueline West, 505-984-0102 jjwphd@gmail.com |

Refining the Inner Bullshit Detector: Humor, Hermes and the Human Shadow
March 7 and 8; Calgary Jung Institute of Canada Alchemical work starts with the prima materia, the shit we find ourselves in. We need to grow an inner compass (a bulllshit detector, if you will) to guide us when we step into the unconscious, or when we are somehow “full of it”. This sobering work can be so heavy, the other side appears through humor. The god of alchemical work is Hermes, the god of humor and insight who helps us to consciousness through laughter at our foibles, changing how we think and live in relation to others and the greater psyche. We will look at the mythic patterns of Hermes, hubris and humor that reveal various ways we humans can get along with the god of insight, whose light shines along our paths of individuation. Mythic material revealing Hermes will be resourced from various traditions including Coyote stories from the Southwest Native tribes. http://www.eventbrite.ca/e/monika-wikman-refining-the-inner-bullshit-detector-tickets-9858115890?aff=eorg |

October, 2014 - May, 2015 JACQUELINE WEST, Ph.D. and MONIKA WIKMAN, Ph.D. We will read and reflect upon selected segments of Mysterium Coniunctionis, by C. G. Jung, from both alchemical and clinical perspectives. Reviewing Jung's early work as it appears in The Red Book will provide an entry into his capacity to allow himself to be anchored in agony and embraced by love. The experiences Jung endured in these investigations lead him into the fruition of his later ideas, as presented in Mysterium Coniunctionis, where he delves into the tension between the opposites and the processes involved in their conjunction. These readings will lead us into explorations of what it takes to meet and forge a relationship between the forces that have the potential to tear us apart - individually, interpersonally, and culturally - while they also have the potential to engender wholeness. We'll discuss how the unimpeded emergence of flexible and humble consciousness supports the individual's capacity to first form, and then meet and transform, essential defensive dynamics. In these discussions, we'll trace the alchemical operations that are at work in these processes. Dates: Thursday evenings: Oct. 23, Nov. 13, Jan. 15, Feb 12, Mar 19, April 16, May 7 Time: 6 pm to 8:30 pm Location: 1536 Bishops Lodge Road, Santa Fe Contact Person: Susan Steffy: sgsteffy@gmail.com, 505-469-0430 Fee: $525.00 for series 17.5 CEU's Enrollment limited Jacqueline J.
