You will be given a short article “Obstacles and Helps to Self-Understanding” by Mary Ann Mattoon to read. After a short introduction the students will divide into groups, each group will be given a complex to work on and present in the second session. Further instructions will be given. In the second session, each group will present “their” complex, explaining what factors in the life of the individual may have contributed to its formation, how it limits the individual, how it serves to protect the person, what may be the archetypal core. This will be done both as explanation and as a short acted drama.

The symbol is one of the most important basics in Analytical Psychology of C. G. Jung. In addition to dreams and active imagination, it allows direct access to the unconscious.

We will reflect on the nature and meaning of vocation from self-experience and the experience of others from a Jungian perspective, inspired by, and in light of, Jung’s lecture on vocation entitled “The Development of Personality” in CW 17. We will explore the experience of “the call” in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, the calling and the initiation of the Shaman, and the vocation of the wounded healer. We will also reflect on the experience of individuation and the call to self-transcendence.

Often, the things that we like the least in ourselves help us the most. In The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri describes a journey through the seven cardinal sins and virtues. Awareness of these human polarities brings freedom from shackles, transformation and deeper understanding of our own personality.
It can be liberating and healing to acknowledge the Shadow, the least wanted or unrealized part of yourself. We will explore the fundamental psychological dynamics between sin and virtue and why personal development is relevant to leadership. How can we access the potential for our consciousness’ expansion and live a truly creative and purposeful life?
