Body as Shadow: Listening to the Somatic Unconscious
Erica Lorentz, Med, LPC, IAAP
Sunday, March 18, 2012 ● 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Cost: $60 5 CEUs
In our culture, the body is too often seen as mechanical and unimportant. It has become shadow. Yet there is a renewed interest in sensorimotor research, the imaginal, and the body-psyche connection. Jung understood that transformation can only take place “if we are in our bodies, otherwise it is like the wind blowing in the desert.” In this workshop we will hear Jung’s view of the importance of the body in transformation, and gently learn to listen to the somatic unconscious through non-directive, meditative movement. Movement, image, memory, and sensation will guide us to a healthy dialogue with our shadow. Drawing, writing, and sharing will help to anchor our experience in consciousness where our truth can be honored. In sharing, the facilitator will help insure a safe container within which each participant’s own journey is respected. No prior experience is necessary.
Erica Lorentz, Med, LPC, IAAP, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Northampton, MA, and Brattleboro,VT. She is a training analyst with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts and the New England Society of Jungian Analysts. She was an adjunct faculty member at Antioch School of Professional Psychology and has lectured in the US and Canada.
Shamanism: Natural Religion of the Human Psyche
John Haule, Ph.D., IAAP
Friday, April 13, 2012 ● 7:00 – 9:00 PM
Cost: $20 2 CEUs
Jung called shamanism “the oldest form of medicine” and also suggested that it expresses the natural spirituality of the human psyche. It is certainly as old as our human species. We will view slides giving evidence from the painted caves of the last Ice Age that as soon as our ancestors became conscious of themselves, they began “journeying” through the landscape of myth. Shamanism, too, is the foundation of Jung’s method of “active imagination.” Before he had studied shamanism, he was already sending his soul on daily “journeys” into a “lower world.” These experiments on himself became the foundation of his “confrontation with the unconscious” and also shaped his approach to psychoanalysis. Jung explicitly says, that those journeys took him out of the “Spirit of This Time” (the modern world), into the “Spirit of the Depths.” We will view some of the results he brought back from those journeys and painted in his Red Book. His prescription for us is that we, too, should learn to value the psychological potentials we all inherit as humans—even the ones our modern world views with suspicion. We will also look at some evidence from anthropology concerning the shaman’s initiation and shamanic methods of healing.
Shamanism: Soul Loss & Recovery
John Haule, Ph.D., IAAP
Saturday, April 14, 2012 ● 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Cost: $60 5 CEUs
We will start with how shamanism is practiced today in the Upper Amazon region of South America—how souls are lost and found, as well as the perils of entering that world. Such experiences have been richly illustrated by shaman-painters, and we will view photographs of some
of those paintings. Those shamans and their patients ingest a drug they call ayahuasca or yagé that tells us a great deal about the neurological basis of shamanic states of consciousness, and why shamanism represents the “natural religion of the human psyche.”
An overview of the history of consciousness reveals that shamanic activities have helped us to survive in the empirical world, for example by learning to raise our own food and much more. Shamanic cures also reveal the sorts of “synchronistic” bond that can occur between shaman and patient—but also between any individuals that have become deeply connected on an emotional level. Shamanism has been gradually marginalized over the millennia. Perhaps we are ready for its return, Jung certainly hoped so.
John Haule, Ph.D., IAAP, past President of the C.G. Jung Institute-Boston, is a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

Writing Our Own Red Books: Writings to the Soul
Susan Tiberghien
Sunday, May 6, 2012 ● 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Cost: $60 5 CEUs
“I should advise you to put it all down as beautifully as you can…”
C.G. Jung to Christiana Morgan, 1926
In this workshop, you will look at the images in your writing, letting them open doorways to the soul. You will engage in conversations of imagination, asking the soul what it wants. And following the advice of C.G.Jung, you will craft short pieces of writing, fragments to be copied into your own Red Books--“the silent places of your spirit, where you will find renewal.”
Susan Tiberghien, an American-born writer living in Switzerland, has published three memoirs, Looking for Gold, Circling to the Center, and Footsteps, A European Album, and most recently One Year to A Writing Life, along with numerous narrative essays in journals and anthologies on both sides of the Atlantic. She teaches and lectures at graduate programs, C.G. Jung Centers, and at writers’ conferences both in the United States and in Europe, where she directs the Geneva Writers’ Group and Conferences. Her website is www.susantiberghien.com.
The Herald Dream: An Approach to the Initial Dream in Analysis
Richard Kradin, M.D., I.A.A.P.
Saturday, June 10, 2012 ● 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Cost: $60 5 CEUs
This course examines the singular importance of the first dream reported in the treatment as an imaginal statement of the core issue that the patient brings to therapy. The course will examine how the herald dream can be adopted in the service of psychodynamic formulation, prognosis, and analytical stance. Examples of the initial dreams of patients in analysis, will be examined in detail, allowing the participants an inside view of how it is possible to synthesize archetypal and personal
elements, in order to achieve an in depth understanding of the patient's psychological conflicts and the process of individuation. The course represents a unique opportunity for both new and seasoned practitioners to gain insight into how to approach dreams within the treatment.
Richard Kradin, MD., IAAP, is a Jungian Analyst, a physician and researcher at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. He is former Director of Research at the Mind-Body Institute at Harvard Medical School and is on the faculty of the C.G. Jung Institute. Dr. Kradin has authored over 150 scientific papers in the medical and psychoanalytic literature and two recent books, The Herald Dream, (Karnac, 2006) and The Placebo Response: The Power of Unconscious Healing (Routledge, 2008).
