Basic Jung is a series of lectures taking place the first week of each semester during the late afternoon and early evening sessions. It is designed to be an intensive introduction to basic Jungian concepts and ways of working for new students and guests wanting a concise presentation of Analytical Psychology. Although designed as a series, each course can be attended independently.
As a foundation for this work, we will look at how Jung conceived of the psyche as a rich interplay of conscious, personal and collective unconscious. Although most courses are lectures, on Wednesday all attending will have a chance to discover what symbols are in their own unconscious and the experiential nature of most of our training.
As Jungians, we look to the symbols presented by the unconscious to guide our work as analysts. They can be seen in our complexes and our dreams. Jung’s great work The Red Book depicts his initial work with the symbols presented in his own unconscious. That was the myth that he was living, or that was living him. What is yours?

07 03 - Things that Go Bump in the Night
Analytical Psychology started with the study of complexes probably because of the strong physical reaction when a complex constellates. It appears and robs consciousness from the ego. Other psychological schools have described this same reaction in similar terms. We will look first at what is a complex, and then how this compares with similar concepts.

04 05 - Working with Images: The House
The house is an important symbol in dreams, drawings and art.
In the first part we look at houses in drawings by children and adults and artists. How do they affect us? What can we learn about the creator of the image? In the second part, participants can create their personal presentation of a house. Material provided.

03 09 - What is the Nature of the Myth You Are Living? Why Do Jungians Study Myths and Fairy Tales?

10 80 - The Alchemical Process of Depression [Part 1 of 2]
Jung’s fascination with alchemical symbolism and the unconscious provides us with the tools to understand our own psychological processes. A path is opened to transform the dark night of soul into a meaningful, enlightening experience. In order to accomplish this, the ego must undergo its own death and rebirth.
19:00–20:45

01 12 - Working with the Body and the Imagination in the Analytical Process
The transference relationship in analysis is chiefly non verbal, even though we spend the majority of our analytic hours talking. In this course we will be looking at ways to be more aware of the messages from our bodies and our imagination to understand the depth of communication between people.
