03 03 Lecture | Individuation and Fairy Tale Drama: Enacting Rituals of Play, Laughter and Tears
In the lecture I will explore the use of psychodrama as a means of deepening our experience and understanding of fairytales through enactment. As most fairy tales represent patterns of individuation, fairy tale drama attempts to capture the living quality of those patterns. Through enactment, fairy tales become embodied. They move mind, heart and body, hence are a potential for transformation.

11 04 Lecture | Individuation Motifs in the Works of Swedish Artist Hilma af Klint (1862–1944): A Depth Psychological and Symbolic Perspective
C.G. Jung presented us with a model through which human beings progress on their psychological developmental journeys across the lifespan. We will explore the artistic work of Hilma af Klint, encounter universal motifs, consider the influence of culture and time in her work, and how interior processes are revealed in her art.

Ursula Wirtz, Dr. phil.
11 05 Lecture | Trauma and Individuation
We will explore the transformational aspects of trauma and how traumatic experiences can trigger a change in consciousness and guide us towards individuation.

Jody Schlatter, Dr. med.
11 07 Lecture | The Broader Picture: Individuation of the Western World Based on Jung’s Less Known Later Work Aion
In this lecture we will look at Individuation on the collective level as seen in the West.
Following Jung, we will look at astrological aspects of the Pisces symbol and how the symbol of the Fish has changed since the beginning of the Christian era.

Maria Grazia Calzà, PhD
06 08 Lecture | “Love ... Can Unite Opposites and Reverse the Paradox”: The Individuation Process of the Medieval Mystic Hadewijch of Antwerp
Throughout the Christian Middle Ages, religion played a much greater role in the fundamentals of medieval life, in a way now largely lost. Especially for women, the devotion to Christ represented the via regia on which their individuation process might unfold. In her sensuous and even erotic writings, Hadewijch, a well-educated Beguine from Antwerp († ca. 1240), describes her intimate, embodied encounters with Christ as Love-Made-Flesh. Her deep longing for a union with Him—in psychological terms: for wholeness—led her along a path that could, as she put it, “unite the opposites” (mind and body, divine and human, earth and heaven, etc.) and “reverse the paradox” (quoting Hadewijch).

11 09 Lecture | The Role of Love Relationships in Individuation
“Falling in love” is not an act of will but rather an impulse or urge from psyche that nudges us along the path to individuation. Whether requited or not the experience has the potential to be transformative. Based, in part, on Jung’s essay in CW 17 “Marriage as a Psychological Relationship”, this lecture will explore the meaning of “falling in love” as a part of individuation.

Dariane Pictet, Ad. Dip. Ex. Psych
11 10 Lecture | MyBody MySelf
“Only if you first return to the body, to your earth, can individuation take place” (Jung: Vision Seminars p. 1313-14). We will explore how attuning to the body furthers the individuation process and how objectification of the body hinders this.
