Master Workshops

Saturday, April 13, 2019   9:30 am– 4:30 pm

A daylong seminar led by
Melanie Starr Costello, PhD

Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

By aligning psycho-spiritual maturation with the natural process, our program envisages individuation as a path that embraces the inextricable relationship between life and death principles and assents to Creation as mystery. We will confront dominant cultural constructs that alienate us from the body and obstruct psyche's connection with the non-human world. In hope of redress, we construct an alternative model of consciousness, envisaging a nature-based-symbolic attitude that reconnects us with our roots in nature, conjoining mind, soul, and cosmos.

Dr. Costello demonstrates how our environmental crisis and our collective fear of death stem from the same ideological root. She discusses our fear of change and our fear of loss—anxieties that stymie the spirit and inhibit growth. She explores how changes in our bodies and in our life-circumstances may be harnessed as a motive-force for reconnecting us to our roots in nature, opening us to mystery, and honing our intentions in regard to self, others, and our work in the world.

Images, stories, and dream analysis will throw light on the archetypal forces—both fierce and generative—that promote psycho-spiritual maturation. Special attention will be given to the recurrence of cosmological and elemental themes in dreams of individuals undergoing life-transition.

To promote awareness of the link between maturation of consciousness and our acceptance of natural cycles, Dr. Costello will guide us through a life-narrative review. We will discuss the varied archetypal energies that inform our identities and chosen place in the world. We consider: what is the purpose of longevity? What is wisdom? We conclude by reconstructing our portrait of the individuated person, elucidating the nature-based dimensions of social, family and spiritual life.

The Alchemy of Journaling: Through Darkness to Light in the Red Book

Tuesday, May 7, 2019
12:30 – 1:30 pm
Speaker: Susan Tiberghien

We will discuss how Jung went through darkness to light in his journey from 1913 to 1928 in The Red Book.  And how through our own journaling we also can make the same journey and find light in the darkness.

Susan Tiberghien, an American writer living in Geneva, Switzerland, has published three memoirs and the highly appreciated writing book, One Year to a Writing Life. Her more recent titles are Side by Side: Writing Your Love Storyand Footsteps: In Love with a Frenchman. Her latest book is Writing Toward Wholeness, Lessons Inspired by C.G. Jung.  She teaches at C.G. Jung Centers, at the International Women’s Writing Guild, and at writers’ centers and conferences in the States and in Europe where she directs the Geneva Writers’ Group and Conferences.

The Art of C.G. Jung

5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:30–8:10 pm. Begins April 10, 2019

Instructor: Maria Taveras, LCSW

Inspiration for this course derives from the book The Art of C.G. Jung. Just published in November, this new book is not about Jung the analyst, but about Jung the artist.

For the very first time, this book documents the full extent of Jung’s creative imagination as a visual artist. It comprises examples of Jung’s visual art both before and after The Red Book. It includes sketchbooks and pencil drawings from Jung’s childhood, pastel and watercolor landscapes from his youth, carved and painted wooden fantasy figures, ink and colored pencil mandalas, gouache visionary paintings, and stone carvings. Essays in the book situate Jung’s artistry in the context of modern art (Dada, Cubism, and Surrealism) and describe his own personal art collection. The Art of C.G. Jung will be required reading in this course. (Copies will be available for purchase at the bookstore of the C.G Jung Foundation.) Participants will bring their own copies of the book to each class meeting for discussion of the weekly assigned readings. Finally, participants will also apply their own creative imagination by doing hands-on, in-class art exercises (mandalas and fantasy drawings) under the guidance of instructor Maria Taveras, who is not only a Jungian analyst but also an award-winning practitioner of “Dream Art.” Fee for art materials: add $15 to tuition fee.

Relationships with Others

 

What Can We Learn About Them from C.G. Jung?

5 consecutive Mondays, 6:00–7:40pm  Beginning February 25

 

Instructor: David Rottman, MA

Fulfilling relationships are "Extroverted Individuation" according to C.G. Jung. In this course we will explore what Jung meant by that statement, as well as his many other helpful ideas (and the ideas of his pupil, Marie-Louise Von Franz) about the nature of both conscious and unconscious connections between people. We will focus on these questions: What makes energy flow in relationships? Where do relationships get blocked? How do we find positive relationships with individuals and with groups or communities? How do we renew existing relationships? How do outer relationships mirror what's going on inside us? What does it mean to have a connection with another person at the deepest level? What does it mean to have a positive connection with a group?

The Religious Ground of Jung’s Analytical Psychology

Seminar 2: Spring 2020

12 Mondays: 6:30-8:00 pm
February 10 – May 11
(excluding February 17 and April 6)

According to Jung, a fundamental aspect of being human is to be religious by nature. Homo religiosus. From his deep well of Judeo-Christian scholarship and his personal understanding of what he saw as an innate religious attitude that is a significant aspect of the human psyche, Jung was a master of finding the common ground in his ability to “translate” such texts as The Tibetan Book of the Dead, The Taoist Secret of the Golden Flower, and D.T. Suzuki’s teachings on Zen Buddhism into a psychologically oriented language, while also expanding his Western readers’ knowledge-base of their own traditions. 

This course will draw material mainly from Jung’s essays in Collected Works Volume 11, Psychology and Religion: West and East. It is intended to inform participants about the religious background of some of the general principles of Analytical Psychology and its contribution to the East-West psycho-spiritual dialogue, and will serve mental health professionals interested in the spiritual aspects of Jung’s approach to psychotherapy.

Instructor:  Royce Froehlich, PhD, MDiv, LCSW

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe how Jung’s early personal life influenced his theoretical understanding of psychological phenomena.
  • Assess Jung’s contribution to the understanding of the human psyche and its value for clinical treatment today.
  • Discuss some key concepts in Jung’s Analytical Psychology within a context of inter-faith dialogue.
  • Critique the term homo religiosus.
  • Describe connecting links between Jung’s analytic paradigm and the cure of souls (the root meaning of psycho-therapy).

Sacrifice and Individuation

5 consecutive Thursdays, 6:30 – 8:10 pm    Beginning April 11

Instructor: David Walczyk, EdD, LP

“Sacrifice is nothing other than the production of sacred things.” — Georges Bataille

Sacrifice, in its spiritual sense, is defined as something you give up for the hope of something better. If the purpose of sacrifice is something better, the production of something sacred, then why is it so hard? In this class, we seek to answer that question and also ask the larger question, what is the relationship between sacrifice and livingthe process of individuation? Our interest is not intellectual or abstract but rather practical, existential, and relational. Participants are encouraged to consider their relationship to sacrifice and its purpose in their individuation and in the individuation of those they care about.

We begin by grounding sacrifice historically asking the questions why did it develop and how has its meaning and purpose changed over time? We then sharpen our focus and consider sacrifice and its relationship to individuation by engaging with the work of Carl Jung and Georges Bataille. With a firm grounding in the history and fundamentals of sacrifice and individuation, we consider how that relationship manifests itself in our time: first, collectively in the wellness industry and then personally in clinical practice.

Natural Cycles, Natural Symbols: Individuation as Ecology

Saturday, April 13, 2019

Trauma and the Healing Power of the Image

5 consecutive Mondays, 6:00–7:40 pm  Beginning April 8

Instructor: Gary Brown, LCSW, LP

Human life is trauma, at best pain and pleasure mixed fine . . . More often, “nasty, brutish, and short” (Hobbes, “Leviathan”). Religion and, later, psychoanalytic work addressed this fact of life.  War and what was then called shell shock, as well as hysteria, were some of the early foci of the newly discovered and developed psychotherapy.  At the heart of this was psyche, the mysterious function which develops images from the pains and pleasures of life and allows meaning to happen. Though Freud enunciated what he called the Unconscious, Jung scientifically proved its existence via the Word Association Test, bringing Freud and psychoanalysis international attention.  Jung’s work became a quest for how the newly-discovered psychotherapy worked.  In a private conversation with an analyst, Jung said that history would record that he had discovered the “healing power of the image.”  We will explore in this class what Jung discovered:  that images contain and hold affect, the experience of feeling or emotion.

The Red Book: An Encounter with Jung’s Words and Images

Saturday, June 8, 2019
9:30am – 4:30pm

A daylong seminar led by Sanford L. Drob, PhD
Note: This is a repeat of the March 30, 2019 workshop.

Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.

Please note that if you received CE contact hours for Dr. Drob’s March 30, 2019, workshop on the Red Book, you cannot receive credit for this workshop. It is the same program.

This workshop will provide an introduction to Jung’s Red Book (Liber Novus) and a meditation upon a selection of Jung’s painted images. Our primary goals will be to understand the relevance of The Red Book to personal growth, the psychotherapeutic process, and the pursuit of life-meaning. We will examine the Red Book in the context of Jung’s earlier and later works, his personal crisis in relationship to Freud, and the work’s place in the history of ideas. Amongst the topics to be considered: meaning and the absurd, chaos and order, the death of the inner hero, masculine and feminine, shadow and persona, good and evil, reason and unreason, sanity and madness, “accepting all,” God and self, and the guidance of one’s soul.
