The New England Society of Jungian Analysts Public Program
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 the Jungian approach to the psyche. These seminars and workshops are open to individuals from all fields including education, the arts, religion, social work, medicine, nursing, and mental health professionals. A separate brochure on the analyst Training Program of the C.G. Jung Institute-Boston is also available for those who wish to pursue a formal course of study.

NEPTUNE: PLANETARY ARCHETYPE OF MIRAGE, MYSTICISM, AND MADNESS
Elizabeth Spring, M.A.
Saturday, March 13, 2010 ● 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cost: $60 5 CEUs
When Jung wrote to Bill W. about Spiritus Contra Spiritum he was writing, in part, about the archetype of Neptune. Oceanic Neptune reflects the yearning for Spirit, inspires great art and the religious impulse, but is also filled with the flotsam and jetsam of illusion and discontent. Neptune touches all of our lives and can be uniquely understood by its placement in our astrological birth chart. In this workshop you will gain a deeper understanding of how this illusory planet operates in your life, as well as in the life and chart of Carl Jung. You will also learn what other planetary archetypes are obscuring or influencing the expression of Neptune in your particular chart. All levels of experience are welcome, and a previous knowledge of astrology is not required. It is suggested that beginners read The Inner Sky by Steven Forrest. Participants will also find helpful Elizabeth Spring’s book North Node Astrology; Rediscovering your Life Direction and Soul Purpose..
Please note: As part of this workshop each participant will receive their birth chart. Upon registering for class, call Elizabeth at 401-294-5863 or email her at elizabethspring@verizon.net and provide her your date, time and place of birth. If you don't know your exact time of birth, she can help you get this information.
Elizabeth Spring, MA, is an astrologer, writer, and therapist in private practice in Wickford, Rhode Island. Her astrology could best be described as “archetypal astrology” in that she specializes in exploring the hidden dynamics and symbolic meanings of the planetary archetypes. She is the author of North Node Astrology; Rediscovering Your Life Direction and Soul Purpose.
THE PERSONAL AND COSMIC IMPLICATIONS OF SYNCHRONICITY
(Lecture and Workshop)
John Haule, Ph.D., IAAP
Friday Lecture: Synchronicity & Jung’s Vision for the Future
Friday, March 26, 2010 ● 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Cost: $20.00 2 CEUs
Jung believed that 2000 years of Christian repression has helped to build the Western ego with its emphasis on reason and empirical measurement. It has been a great achievement, but we have paid an equally high price: loss of our sense of wholeness. According to his Pueblo friend, Mountain Lake, we have become hollow-eyed and restless. Jung argues that we have to develop our “non-rational” capacities alongside of “directed thinking.” In this context, synchronicity is the lynch-pin, the secret to rediscovering our internal wholeness and our oneness with the cosmos.
Saturday Workshop: Living in the Synchronistic World of the Future: A Jungian Perspective
Saturday, March 27, 2007 ● 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cost: $60.00 5 CEUs
Jung urges us to expand our consciousness and our lives by embracing all of our psychic capacities and not just the “directed, rational thinking” that has given us modern science. This workshop investigates what telepathy has to teach us; how we can learn to develop our latent powers of clairvoyance; why some archaeologists have taken up dowsing and what they are learning from it; the exasperations of psycho-kinesis; and how shamanic consciousness can be developed and used on the model of the ayahuasqueros of the Amazon.

HERMES, GUIDE OF SOUL (Saturday & Sunday Workshop)
Gary D. Astrachan, Ph.D., IAAP
Saturday, April 10, 2010 ● 10 am - 3 pm & Sunday, April 11, 2010 ● 10 am – 3 pm
Cost: $100.00 8 CEUs
Hermes, messenger, thief, servant, journeyer, and bringer of dreams, is also known as 'the friendliest of all the gods to men'. He leads us along the paths of life, and just as easily laughs as we go astray. He is a trickster figure. Intuition, synchronicity and the many arts of interpretation are all embraced within the folds of his traveler's cloak. As Mercurius, the patron god of alchemy, he presides over the infinite exchanges and transformations of matter and psyche. This scintillating god, in traversing all borders, boundaries and edges, both images and reveals the unus mundus, the objective psyche itself. We will explore, celebrate and delight in the Hermetic mythologem with slides, music, readings, lecture material and lively discussion.
Suggested Readings:

ENVISIONING THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS
Warren Erickson, MSW, IAAP
April 23, 2010, 2010 ● 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Cost: $20.00 2 CEUs
Imbalance, instability, and volatility permeate all aspects of our world today. Human consciousness, a jewel of the universe, is wreaking havoc on our planet. In the deepest regions of psyche, the collective unconscious appears to be terrified that her problem child, consciousness, has become a threat to life itself. Jung's encounter with the collective unconscious was recorded in his recently published journal which he named The Red Book. In this seminar we will explore Jung's reflections on this foundation to his opus, and it's relevance in our individual and collective lives.

MEMOIR AND METAPHOR
Susan Tiberghien
Sunday, May 2, 2010 ● 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cost: $60.00 5 CEUs
"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness visible.” C.G. Jung
In writing memoir, if we find metaphors, we can bring our life experiences into clearer focus. In this workshop we will first look at metaphor and how it has been used in literature, with examples from Plato’s Dialogues to C. G. Jung’s The Red Book. Then we will look at the specific genre of memoir, reading excerpts from contemporary authors to see how they used metaphors to illuminate their work. As memoir is a window into our lives, so metaphor becomes the lamp that lets us see within and without. There will be guided writing exercises, and each participant will be helped to produce a short piece of memoir.
Susan Tiberghien, an American writer living in Switzerland, has published three memoirs—Looking for Gold; Circling to the Center; and Footsteps, A European Album—and most recently a book on writing, One Year to A Writing Life. She has been teaching creative writing for twenty years both in the States and in Europe, at writers conferences, graduate programs, C.G. Jung Centers, the International Women’s Writing Guild, and at the monthly Geneva Writers’ Workshops. She directs the Geneva Writers’ Group and Conferences. Her website is www.susantiberghien.com
ATONEMENT: EXAMINING THE EFFECTS OF RITUAL IN ANALYSIS
Richard Kradin, MD., IAAP
Saturday, May 15, 2010 ● 10 am - 4 pm
Cost: $60.00 5 CEUs
A primary aim of Jungian analysis is to achieve an enhanced relationship between ego consciousness and the archetypes of the unconscious. In his wide-ranging studies, Jung examined the precursors of modern psychotherapy, including religious and secular rituals, e.g., alchemy, in order to gain insight into the pre-modern healing activities of the psyche. In the current workshop, we will explore the complex rite of the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) as outlined in the book of Leviticus, in order to explicate how pre-verbal rituals can transform consciousness by constructing meaning and promoting what Jungians refer to as the "ego-Self axis." The course will include an introduction to current psychological, neurobiological, anthropological, and religious theories with respect to ritual, as well as an exploration of the role that it plays both in human psychopathology, e.g. obsessive-compulsive disorder, and in fostering states of well being. As the rituals of therapy also produce a complex symbolic structure, referred to as the "frame" or "vessel" of the treatment, part of the workshop will consider how analytic rituals can either promote or detract from the goals of the treatment. Readings will include handouts from Jung's Collected Works on archetypes and the alchemical process, as well as handouts from Leviticus, excerpts from Mary Douglas' Leviticus as Literature, and Freud's On Beginning the Treatment.

ON DREAMS, PAINTINGS AND ACTIVE IMAGINATION
Ethne Gray, M.Div., IAAP
Saturday, June 5, 2010 ● 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Cost: $40 4 CEUs
With the recent publication of C. G. Jung's The Red Book, we have been provided a window into what Jung termed his "experiment in self-examination." As part of his self-exploration, Jung bravely granted himself free reign in inducing and bringing to the fore what he understood to be waking fantasies, likewise cultivating and recording dialogues with personified inner psychological states and perspectives. He painted many of these fantasies and figures, which also appear in The Red Book. Once completed, Jung would step back and reflect upon these otherwise raw and spontaneous products arising from out of the depths of the unconscious, trying to better understand their psychological meaning and import. Altogether, Jung named this process the method of active imagination, which is one of the pillars in the theory and practice of Jungian analysis today. In this workshop we will look at one or two of Jung's images from The Red Book, and consider his comments regarding them. Examples of patients' creative work in analyses with Jung as well as with some of his colleagues will also be discussed.
