Introduction to the Theory of Archetypes

The concept of the archetypes of the collective unconscious is the most central of Jung’s theories. To understand Jung you must understand his theory of the archetypes. I will present the basic theory as it developed over time and how it was interpreted by some of his principal followers.

Shadow: Dirt or Fertilizer?

Everything substantial casts a shadow. The psychological shadow is what the ego (or a culture) denigrates. The less conscious we are, the darker the shadow becomes, the more it opens a door to evil. Consciously facing the shadow increases our awareness, thus transforming dirt into fertilizer.

“Alchemical Water Region”: An Archetype of Transformation Encountered in Dreams

Archetypes in Analysis: Trickster/Healer/Mother?

Psychotherapy can be seen as an archetypical drama in which deeper motifs influence the process, sometimes helping us, sometimes leading us astray. In this lecture we will discuss how the archetypes may be directing our work without our full awareness.

Why Jung and not Freud? Why Freud and not Jung?

Historically, for the most part, people studying analytical psychology have eschewed psychoanalysis, and vice versa. Freudian psychoanalysts not only have rejected studying Jung, but have held biased beliefs born out of a propaganda campaign that began immediately upon the split between the two men.

Gender: Given or Constructed?

How do we come to understand gender? Recent evidence suggests that it is not a given of biological determinism - unless, that is, we want to continue to pathologize an entire subset of the human population. And, if we do pathologize, do we absolve culture of its role?

Shamanic and Modern Initiation - Die Before You Die

What do shamanic initiation and the individuation process of the analyst (as a modern shaman) have in common? Through an examination of Siberian shamanism, I invite you to explore how both shamanic and modern initiation require one to die in order to grow spiritually and to reach greater consciousness.

Our Promethean Debt

The story of Prometheus provides a rich mythic narrative that has captured our imagination for over two millennia. Using this Greek myth, I explore the Promethean complex and the origins of our Promethean debt. I conclude with an exploration of how this complex affects our relationship with the natural world.
I will provide a collection of sources of the Promethean myth, including works from Hesiod, Plato, Ovid and Aeschylus.

The Mandala as a Pathway to Healing Our Split with the Sacred World

The mandala is the foremost archetypal image of wholeness. In this course I explore the manifold forms of the mandala and how they may help us heal our split with both our inner and outer worlds. I also explore how emergent mandalas, rooted in the ‘new’ sciences, facilitate the creation of a more meaningful life.

Jung’s Reformation of Christianity

Analytical psychology can be understood as a result of Jung’s “working through” his own Christian faith and tradition. This lecture examines Jung’s wrestling with Christianity, his rendering of imitatio Christi and asks if Jung’s psychology is an attempt to reform or transcend Christianity.

Acts of Imagination: The Creation of the (Inner) World

In 2022, what is our Spirit of the Times? We live in a world of incredible inter-connectedness, yet without a spiritual center or a meaningful collective narrative that offers people guidance for their lives. Our time has been designated by the Polish philosopher Zygmund Bauman, “liquid modernity.” Everything is fluid, nothing quite stable. This induces anxiety and emotional regression to paranoid splitting. Witness the hot debates about gender designation among people today as an example. People have had to learn to swim in this fluidity, but mostly they are swimming in tight circles and without a sense of coherence of the whole. The guidance of a transcendent North Star is invisible to the naked eye. Where is our Virgil? Who or what will be our guide? Soul, where are you?

Our existential crisis is not only about the individual. It is also much more general. It is an issue for the entire human world. “Anima mundi, where are you?” would be our cry. Worldwide pandemic, genocidal wars, increasingly dire effects of climate change, economic insecurity, hunger, migration – these conditions affect everyone on the planet today. Is there a Spirit of the Depths around that can guide us through this Inferno, perhaps to the emergence of a meaningful narrative that can stabilize the global community and provide a sense of meaning? This is a question that will occupy us in this presentation as we reflect together on searching for Soul in the 21st Century.

Nature and Mysticism: The “Divine Thou” and our Relationship to Inner and Outer Nature

The ecological transition, which is so urgently needed, calls for a fundamental shift in our worldview as well as in our identity. The realization that we are one with, not separate from, nature can be a mystical experience. How can mysticism itself inspire a new relationship with our inner and outer nature?

The Archetype of the Wounded Healer in Multicultural Analysis

Encounters between an analyst and a patient from different cultures bring up the whole history of cultural complexes. The unconscious impact finds expression in specific dynamics in the transference and in the activation of the Wounded Healer archetype.

The Shadow Within Us and Our Narcissism: A Connection?

What does our narcissism have to do with the shadow within us? The shadow contains the uncomfortable, unaccepted sides in us; confronting the shadow is a difficult process when working with patients. To compensate for the shadow we may develop negative narcissism.

Chaos and Containment: Anchoring Soul in a World of Uncertainties.

We live in a world full of opportunities, but also full of uncertainties. How can we live here without repeating the failures of previous generations? Jung suggested that a radical acceptance of limitations can enhance the freedom to choose between good and evil.

The Presence of the Absent Father

The Puer Shadow through a Fairy Tale

Fairy tales portray the puer archetype prevalent in Western cultures. It is connected to the senex archetype, and both are aspects of the psychological development for leaving the family and accessing the self. This applies to all people. Jung said: “The archetype persists throughout the ages and requires interpreting anew”. CW 9i

The Transformative Node: In Search of Creativity, Simplicity and Relationship

One simple brush stroke by a Zen painter can open up to a whole unknown universe and thus act as a “transforming node”. We amplify the node with mandalas - from nature (heart, tree, etc.) or geometry (double spiral, double cone); the node and its amplifications reconnect us to a vivifying wholeness and deeper knowledge.
