“One must never look to C.G. Jung |
|
|---|---|---|
The ideas of C.G. Jung have made an enormous contribution to depth psychology and human understanding. His visionary concepts such as archetypes, complexes, persona, shadow, anima and animus, introvert and extravert, individuation, and the collective unconscious have had a profound influence on the way people around the world view themselves and humankind today. In its commitment to bringing Jungian thought to the public, the New England Society of Jungian Analysts (NESJA) sponsors the NESJA Public Program, a series of evening and weekend seminars and workshops centered on various aspects of Jungian Psychology. These seminars and workshops are open to individuals from all fields including education, the arts, religion, social work, medicine, nursing, and mental health professionals.

The Summer Intensive Program is open to all who are interested in the Jungian approach to the psyche and is particularly suited to professionals in counseling, psychotherapy, psychiatry, nursing, social work, medicine, education, religion, education and the arts. This program is strongly recommended for those who are considering training in Jungian analysis.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Summer Intensive Program is designed to provide an exploration of Jungian theory and practice. This year our program embraces Jung’s core concept of individuation as the lifelong process of becoming a whole and balanced individual. Jungians use dream images and symbols as connecting links between the conscious ego and the unconscious psyche, thereby facilitating individuation. In this program, five Jungian analysts, all members of the faculty of the C.G. Jung Institute-Boston, will present their work, weaving together theory and practice, using the symbolic dynamism of dreams to enlighten the process of individuation. Participants are encouraged to bring their curiosity, questions, imagination and dreams to engage in lively discussion with the presenters.

INDIVIDUATION AND DREAMS: A GRAND OVERVIEW
John Ryan Haule, Ph.D., IAAP
For Jung, individuation was both a personal quest (MDR) and a therapeutic context (CW 7). We will look at how Jung followed the individuation theme in the dreams of Wolfgang Pauli (CW 12) as they led the dreamer to a cosmic vision of harmony between his own self and objective reality as a whole. Recent discoveries in neuropsychology reveal the physiology of the individuation process and describe the role that dreams play. Finally, the theory of synchronicity (CW 8) describes how familiarity with the micro-codm of the self opens us up to “absolute knowledge” concerning the macro-cosm.

THE ART OF DREAMWORK
Ethne Gray, M.Div., IAAP
In a letter to Sir Herbert Read, Jung wrote: "We have simply got to listen to what the psyche spontaneously says to us. What the dream (which is not manufactured by us) says, is just so.... It is the great dream which has always spoken through the artist as mouthpiece." In this course, we will play with the idea of the dreamer in us as Artist -- dreams as pictures-- and will look at spontaneous drawings and paintings, as dreams. We will explore how Jungian principles of dream elaboration ('interpretation') may be fruitfully applied to pictures, and how ways of looking at art might help in understanding pictures from the unconscious in the form of dream images. In other words, we will explore how images--inner and outer--" dream the dream on" in each other. Time permitting, there will be an opportunity for participants to experience a simple exercise of creative expression. Recommended reading: C.G. Jung: Word and Image, Ed. by Aniela Jaffe, Princeton N.J.: Princeton Univ. Press, 1979.

Also, The Black Madonna Within: Paintings, Dreams, Reflections by Tatayo Mato, (LaSalle, Ill. Open Court ,1994) is an excellent illustration of our topic.

DREAMS OF A WOMAN
Manisha Roy, Ph.D., IAAP
This presentation will summarize and highlight relevant aspects of a five-year inner journey of a woman in analysis by discussing many of her dreams which guided her individuation. The purpose of such a presentation is to demonstrate how an analyst uses C.G. Jung's theory and method of dream interpretation to help the dreamer to make a healing connection to her deeper self - her unconscious - which guides her individuation process.
12:30 pm – 2 pm
LUNCH
2 pm - 5:30 pm
INDIVIDUATION AND THE DREAMS OF CHILDHOOD
Randall Mishoe, D.Min., IAAP
In what way might one’s dreams of childhood anticipate the path of individuation? Between 1936 and 1941, C.G.Jung taught four seminars on children’s dreams. These seminars have recently been published in English by Princeton University Press (2008). In his introductory remarks, Jung makes this interesting observation, “These early dreams in particular are of utmost importance because they are dreamed out of the depth of personality and, therefore, frequently represent an anticipation of the later destiny.” Participants in the Summer Intensive will be given an opportunity to share dreams from their childhood, if they wish, and to join in our mutual reflection upon the significance of early childhood dreams.

DREAMING ANIMALS
Penelope Tarasuk, Ph.D., IAAP
“The animal is sublime and, in fact, represents the ‘divine’ side of the human psyche. You remember that the purpose of the Dionysian mysteries was to bring people back to the animal . . . to the animal within. . .” (Jung, VS, p.161) With permission, I will use a series of dreams with a variety of animals from a profoundly creative woman who was in analysis eight years. Here we find instruction, beauty and assistance in a life’s completion. Epiphany, the direct experience of Deity, came to this individual via dreams and in a vision of an animal. I feel the dignity and depth of Jungian psychoanalysis is illustrated and accessible in this series of dreams that are illustrated with art, photos and poetry.
