 | Jungian Dream Interpretation: A live, online, audio class with international discussion. Five consecutive Tuesdays, 7.00–8:30 pm, Eastern Time, USA.
Instructor Maxson J. McDowell, PhD A dream is like an all-seeing x-ray. It shows where we are blocked and how we might release the block. But it reads in pictures like hieroglyphs or a poem. Dream analysis is both a science and an art and we will learn both aspects. This class is interactive and fun. An interpretation succeeds when the class as a whole feels convinced, when together we experience a deepening of consciousness. |

Five consecutive Tuesdays, 7.00–8:30 pm, Eastern Time, USA.
Instructor Maxson J McDowell, PhD Fresh, surprising fairy tales from a wide range of cultures describe narcissistic injuries and show how they may be healed. We will explore a different tale each week, finding that narcissistic injuries have always been addressed with psychological insight. Like dreams, legends and fairy tales use symbolic images, images which best represent the psyche's vitality and nuance without trivializing its mystery. In lively, interactive discussion you will practice interpreting such images. |

Upcoming Classes | |
 | Jung's Word Association Test and Complex Theory 5 consecutive Mondays, 7.10–8:50 pm
Instructor Jane Selinske, EdD, LCSW, LP As seen in the film A Dangerous Method, Jung's Word Association Test was an experimental method that determined personal complexes.... In this course, participants will have the experience of taking and giving Jung's Word Association Test. A fairy tale will also be written using key words from each participant's Word Association Test, which will underscore the value of Jung's work. |
 |
5 consecutive Tuesdays, 6:00 – 7:40 pm Instructor Fanny Brewster, PhD Jung spoke often about spiritual topics, as seen through his Collected Works and The Red Book. When we can recognize the essence of spirituality in our dreams, we are given a vision for creating a valued and depthful life. This class provides an exploration of spiritual themes in our dreams, and their influences and significance to our lives. |
 | Archetypal Psychology: Foundations 5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:10 pm Instructor Sylvester Wojtkowski, PhD
This course will examine images, ideas and stories that constitute the ''healing fiction'' of archetypal psychology. By emphasizing imagination over ''the unconscious,'' images over concepts, and multiplicity psychic persons over the self, Hillman developed Jung's notion of ''sticking to the image''' into a richly imaginal phenomenological approach to psyche....We will study the origins of archetypal psychology in works Carl Gustav Jung, Henry Corbin and in Neoplatonic tradition of the Renaissance. |
 |
5 consecutive Mondays, 7.00–8:40 pm Instructor David Rottman, MA In this class, we will read aloud from selected ''famous'' passages of Jung's work, and discuss the meaning of his ideas in depth. The topics will include fate, relationships, the nature of complexes, approaches to healing, the search for meaning on an individual path, the meaning of dreams, synchronicity, and last but not least, what is going on in America life now at an archetypal level. |
 | Searching for Identity: Dismantling the Caretaker Complex 5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:40 pm Instructor Irina Doctoroff, LMFT, MS In this five-week course, we will explore some ways our personalities are shaped by family and culture to identify with the Caretaker archetype. We will also discuss ways to disidentify from such conditioning and connect to the true self. We will look at mythological material in the myths of the Hermaphrodite and Narcissus, as well as Jung's views on the Self and the individuation process...We will also discuss differences between healthy and compulsive caretaking using Grimm's ''Mother Holle'' fairy tale. |
 |
5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8.10 pm Instructor Sylvester Wojtkowski, PhD In this course, we will explore Hillman's contributions to imaginative engagement with anima mundi in its multiple manifestations. We encounter Hillman the iconoclast, who in martial style crashes sacred cows of therapeutic industry, who deconstructs dominant narratives of family values, of personality, and social and political ideas. We will contemplate various themes that Hillman so beautifully, profoundly and poetically articulated: soul-making, therapy of ideas, thought of the heart, Senex and Puer, alchemical motives, war, psychological polytheism, dreams, myths and metaphors, acorn theory, etc. |
 | Beyond Words: Self-Discovery through Journaling in Images 5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:30 – 8:10 pm Instructor Barbara Barry Jung was particularly attuned to the place images play in the life of the psyche, telling us that ''the psyche consists essentially of images . . . full of meaning and purpose.'' This class is instructive and experiential. Participants will learn techniques for eliciting images and how to give them visual expression using a simple painting approach in journal form. They will also learn ways to break through creative blocks and work in a spontaneous manner. No art experience or skill is necessary, only the desire to explore how a journal beyond words can enrich one's life. |
 |
5 consecutive Thursdays, 7:00 – 8:40 pm Instructor Harry W. Fogarty, PhD We shall review Jung's approach to dream work as well as expansions on that work by contemporary Jungians. In general, we shall endeavor to place the dream within an actual context so that our focus will be on how dreams form part of a larger dialogue between our ordinary sense of ourselves and the aspects of ourselves of which we are unaware and which are emerging. |

Upcoming Tuesday Lunch Forums | |
 | Oh, Those New Year's Resolutions: Everyday Mindfulness for Creating Change Tuesday, January 3, 2012, 12:30–1:30 pm Speaker: Joan Griffiths Vega This year, establish your goals without striving. During this luncheon discussion, learn ways to recognize the patterns of the mind and in the body that might lead to frustration and postponed visits to the gym. Through the cultivation of mindfulness, kindness and appreciation new habits may be embraced with sense of curiosity and play. Welcome even the grumbling. |
 | Who was Sabina Spielrein? An exploration of her life and work Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 12:30–1:30 pm Speaker: Ilona Melker, LCSW Since the release of the film A Dangerous Method, Sabina Spielrein's name has become known to a wider public but the film does very little justice to this exceptional individual. Sabina, once freed from her debilitating hysterical/sexual complex, went on to become a psychoanalyst, one of the first female psychoanalysts in the early days of the Vienna and Zurich schools. Her contributions to psychoanalysis and her uncredited impact on both Jung and Freud will be the topic of this lecture. |
 |
Tuesday, March 6, 2012, 12:30–1:30 pm Speaker: Gary Brown, LCSW, LP The unabashed purpose of Analytical Psychology, whether in the consulting room or in the auditorium at the C.G. Jung Foundation, is to connect us, individually, culturally and socially, with spiritual meaning. We will discuss the why and how of this project and its especial need now at this socially pivotal time. |

Upcoming Workshops | |
 | The Chenoo Who Stayed for Dinner: Taming the Negative Father Complex Saturday, February 11, 2012, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. A daylong workshop led by Lisa Marchiano, LCSW A negative father complex may make it difficult to trust ourselves, to experience ourselves as basically good and competent. In this workshop, we will explore the negative father complex through fairy tales such as "Nesoowa and the Chenoo," "Rumplestiltskin," and "The Handless Maiden." Use of biographies (Charlotte Bronte and Margaret Mitchell) and film will round out our discussion. |
 |
Saturday, March 10, 2012, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. A daylong workshop led by Anne Pickup, LCMFT There is an old song that says, "Only love can break a heart, only love can mend it again." Beginning with the myth of Adam and Eve and spanning to the present every-day struggles, we face relationships, loyalties, and ideas that may need to be broken in order for growth to occur. This is a significant theme which can bring us to our knees and tear us apart inside. It is often depicted in myth, literature, and opera. We will utilize music to convey the feeling state of this theme, along with dreams, fairy tales and individual stories. |
 | What is the Archetype of Love? Saturday, April 21, 2012, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. A daylong workshop led by David Rottman, MA When we truly love, we are exquisitely attuned to the individuality of those we care about. We are able to put the other person "in the center" without losing our own center. In this workshop, we will explore the nature of this deep form of love from Jung's "archetypal" and "orientational" point of view. Among the questions we will explore: .... How do complexes limit the amount of love we experience? What role does love play in becoming who we were "meant" to be? What is the "divine" nature of love and how is "love as strong as death" (as the Song of Solomon puts it)? |
 | Bluebeard ~ A Killer to reckon with: How to Survive the Soul's Predator Saturday, May 5, 2012, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. A daylong workshop led by Heide Kolb, Ph.D. Jung experienced the core of the archetypal shadow as an encompassing destructive and fragmenting force. The fairytale of Bluebeard is an exquisite illustration of how to engage this predatory force. In this day-long seminar we will allow the dark eros of the fairytale to guide us through its various manifestations in lived life and we will explore ways of how psyche can escape the grip of her own inherent destructiveness. |

Upcoming Advanced Seminars | |
 | Interpretation of Dreams, Legends, and Fairy Tales Wednesdays, 6:30 - 8:00 pm, January 25 - May 9 (excluding April 11), 2012 Instructor Maxson McDowell Dreams compensate for one-sided conscious viewpoints, show us where we are blocked, and suggest ways that we might move forward. Legends and fairy tales do the same thing, not for an individual, but for a whole people .... An interpretation is only successful when it rings true for the class as a whole, when together we experience a deepening of consciousness. Students participate actively throughout this seminar. |
