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.

C.G. JUNG ON THE FUTURE OF RELIGION
John Haule, Ph.D., IAAP
Friday, September 24, 2010 ● 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Cost: $20 2 CEUs
Jung’s life and work was, among other things, a quest to plumb the mystery of life’s meaning. He had mystical experiences from around the age of eleven and a mid-life crisis around the age of thirty-eight that he recorded in his recently published Red Book. He undertook the exercises described in that book out of his conviction that each of us is “living a myth,” a narrative of profound meaning, whether we know it or not. He was shocked to discover that he knew only one thing about the myth he himself was living—that it wasn’t Christianity. What he learned through his Red Book exercises, however, was at first more challenging than comforting. At one point he cries in anguish, “My god is a frog and the son of frogs!” The discoveries recorded in his Red Book became the foundation of his psychological theory and practice, but he dared not write openly about what he really thought until after the near-death experience he had in the wake of a heart attack at the age of sixty-eight. Then a series of major works emerged with profound implications for living in a post-Christian world.
John Haule is a graduate of the Zurich Institute and a training analyst in the Boston Institute. He is the author of numerous articles and books, including Divine Madness, The Love Cure, Perils of the Soul, and The Ecstasies of St. Francis.

THE EMERGENCE OF SELF THROUGH CREATIVE COLLABORATION
Saturday, October 2, 2010 - 1 pm - 4pm
Place: Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis, 1581 Beacon St., Brookline, MA
Cost: Free, but pre-registration is required
Schedule:
1 to 2 pm: Viewing of the Art Exhibit
2 to 4 pm: Program
The C.G. Jung Institute - Boston will join together with the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis at BGSP's Brookline campus to celebrate our many years of creative collaboration. The public is invited to view the Jungian inspired art exhibit of artists Louise and David Weinberg, which will be followed by comments by the artists, Jungian analyst Cornelia Dimmitt, Ph.D, and Modern Psychoanalyst Mara Wagner, PsyD. The program will explore the many relationships with the Self including individuation, creative work, creative collaboration, and the process of analysis itself.
Cornelia Dimmitt, PhD, is a Zurich trained Jungian Analyst in private practice in Boston. Prior to her training she taught History of Religions at the university level for over a decade, specializing in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Cornelia works analytically with clients’ dreams, sandbox configurations and pictures in various media and has recently begun herself to capture the natural beauty of vegetables in pastels.
Mara Wagner, PsyD, Cert. Psya., serves as a core faculty member at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. An unexpected foray into blind contour drawing brought her attention to the intersection of the unconscious elements in art and psychoanalytic inquiry, leading to the founding of Gallery 1581, housed in BGSP.
Louise Weinberg, LICSW, was an adjunct Professor at BU School of Social Work, and has supervised and taught courses at the Boston Institute for Psychotherapy. Louise is a full-time artist, teacher, and founder of the Drawing Program at the Brookline Senior Center. Guided by the works of Jung, her exhibit of abstract spheres reflects Louise's lifelong interest in the subject of the Self and the process of its development over the span of a lifetime.
David Weinberg worked for 28 years as an academic pathologist at a Boston teaching hospital before deciding to pursue his longstanding interest in photography on a full-time basis. In 2006 he obtained a Certificate in Professional Photography from the Center for Digital Imaging and the Arts at Boston University. His fine art photographic projects include portraits, landscapes, and architecture. His exhibit is a series of self portraits that illuminate the Self, including those aspects we hide even from ourselves.
COLLAPSE: THE SYMBOLISM OF 9/11, THE CREDIT CRISIS, AND THE END OF AN AGE
D. Stephenson Bond, IAAP
Friday, October 15, 2010 ● 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Cost: $20 2 CEUs
From the plains of ancient Sumer to the Twin Towers in New York collapse plays an important role in the history of civilization. Its symbolism runs deep in the mythology of Time itself. This lecture will offer a Jungian perspective on current events, drawing from the work of Jared Diamond, complexity theory, and the mythology of time. As Jung wrote: "...We are shaken by secret shudders and dark forebodings; but we know no way out, and very few persons indeed draw the conclusion that this time the issue is the long-since-forgotten soul of man." (Memories, Dreams, and Reflections, p.333)
THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF PERSONAL AND GLOBAL COLLAPSE: WORKING THROUGH GRIEF AND SHOCK
D. Stephenson Bond, IAAP
Saturday, October 16, 2010 ● 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Cost: $50 5 CEUs
"Sudden Violent Death" evokes a special circumstance of grief that without warning or preparation thrusts survivors into a collapse of the basic psychological structures of social identity and support. This workshop will explore the psychological dynamics of this dislocating event utilizing cognitive mapping and anxiety management theory to gain a Jungian perspective on the individual, social, and collective implications of working through and surviving collapse.
D. Stephenson Bond, IAAP, is the author of four books, including the recent novel Healing Lily: a novel of Hope (2010) about a 9/11 widow and a psychoanalyst, The Archetype of Renewal (2003), and Living Myth: Personal Meaning as a Way of Life (1992). He teaches at the C. G. Jung Institute - Boston.
THE RED BOOK
Chessie Stevenson, IAAP
Friday November 5, 2010 ● 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Cost: $20 2 CEUs
“The years when I pursued the inner images were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this… My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. .. Everything later was merely the outer classification, scientific elaboration, and the integration into life.” – Carl Jung on his “Confrontation with the Unconscious”
Spoken of in Memories, Dreams, Reflections as his “Confrontation with the Unconscious”, C. G. Jung recorded much of this period of intense self-examination in the recently released Red Book. Jungian analyst Chessie Stevenson will serve as guide in examining some of the archetypal images which Jung reproduced there in an effort to give an account of his deeply personal journey. We will discuss the context of The Red Book, and some of its consequences for the understanding and practice of analytical psychology today.
Chessie is a Jungian analyst with a private practice in Waitsfield, Vermont. She is a graduate of the New York Institute for Analytical Psychology and the president of the New York Association for Analytical Psychology. She is also a member of The New England Society for Jungian Analysis and the C. G. Jung Society of Vermont.

SURFACES, DEPTHS, & THE SOUL: THE CONVICTION OF THINGS UNSEEN
A Day of Inquiry with Dr. Lionel Corbett and Dr. James Hollis
Friday, October 22, 2010 ● 9 am – 5 pm
Place: Andover Newton Theological School, Newton, MA
Web site registration only: Andover Newton Theological School Registration
CEUs Available
IN A DARK WOOD: THE LORE OF SHADOWS & UNDER THE STARS: THE LURE OF THE NUMINOUS
What hold does the language of “soul” have in a hurried culture like ours, shaped by the pressures of saturation and the widespread experience of depletion? This day of inquiry brings two nationally acclaimed psychologists into conversation with members of our theological school, therapists, and those interested in the pressing questions that will shape this gathering. What relationship does the “unseen” world have to ordinary experience? How do we find our way in the confusions and complexities of our lives toward a clarity that promises healing and wholeness? Can we recover the language of “soul” in vibrant and life-giving forms?
The morning session, led by Dr. James Hollis, takes Dante’s journey “in a dark wood” as a point of departure, examining our experience of “shadows” as places of discovery and transformation, occasions for discerning the meaning of the soul’s pain and power. The afternoon session, led by Dr. Lionel Corbett, considers Dante’s metaphor of life “under the stars” to explore the experience of the numinous, and how this dimension of our lives leads us toward integration and a more expansive life in the world.
This day will be held in conjunction with a new exhibit in the Meetinghouse at Andover Newton, “Into the Radiance,” a collection of drawings and paintings inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy by Wisconsin artist Thomas Duff. Participants will be invited to explore these images during the day, and Mr. Duff will be present to participate in the discussions with the keynote leaders.
James Hollis,Ph.D Zurich trained Jungian analyst in private practice in Houston, Texas, is Director of the Saybrook Graduate School Jungian Studies program in San Francisco and Houston, and the author of thirteen books. His publications include The Middle Passage: From Misery to Meaning at Mid – Life; On this Journey We Call Our Life; The Eden Project: In Search of the Magical Other; Creating a Life: Finding Your Individual Path; Why Good People Do Bad Things, with his latest being What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life.
Lionel Corbett, M.D trained in medicine and psychiatry in England, and as a Jungian analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute – Chicago. His primary interests are in the religious function of the psyche, especially the way in which personal religious experience is relevant to individual psychology, and the development of psychotherapy as a spiritual practice. Dr. Corbett is a core faculty member of the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California, where he teaches Depth Psychology.
DOING THERAPY
Gary D. Astrachan, Ph.D., IAAP
Saturday, November 13 & Saturday, November 20, 2010 ● 10 am – 5 pm
Cost: $120 12 CEUs
What are the differences between 'doing' psychotherapy and 'doing' psychoanalysis? When and how are we 'doing' either, and what is an actual analytical experience or process? Conversely, what is it to be 'in' therapy or 'in' analysis, and what are the differences? Are the theoretical and/or practical distinctions among the various modalities of doing soul work important, interesting, valuable or meaningful? This is a clinical case seminar for professional practitioners of whatever training background, theoretical or practicing orientation, or experiential perspective, to discuss their work in a confidential, safe and peer supervisory group environment. Participants will be expected to share psychological material from their own therapeutic practices or personal lives so that we can engage co-creatively, explore, deepen and differentiate just what we are doing in this ongoing journey of soul making.
Gary Astrachan is a clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst in private practice in Portland, Maine. He is a faculty member and supervising and training analyst in the C.G. Jung Institute – Boston, and lectures and teaches widely throughout North America and Europe. He is the author of numerous scholarly articles in professional journals and books and writes particularly on the relationship between analytical psychology and Greek mythology, poetry, painting, film, postmodernism, and critical theory.
