Ecosophy: An Ethico-Aesthetic Paradigm
Instructor: David Walczyk, EdD, LP, NCPsyA
7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.
“Individuals must become both more united and increasingly different.”– Felix Guattari
“Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.”– Carl Jung
In this course participants will be introduced to the ethico-aesthetic paradigm called Ecosophy, developed by French psychoanalyst Felix Guattari (1930-1992). Specific attention will be given to his text The Three Ecologies and its critique of capitalism’s effects on our personal and collective mental ecology (subjectivity), social ecology, and environmental ecology. We will connect The Three Ecologies and the psychological tools it provides directly to psychological wellness and clinical practice.
After unpacking and applying the Three Ecologies we will bring in Jung to help us answer the question, did Guattari overlook a fourth ecology? The ecology of spirit. Or might the ecology of spirit already permeate the three ecologies identified by Guattari?
Get ready for a ride into the funhouse of radical psychoanalytic and spiritual critique of capitalism and its intent to form and subjugate your individual and our collective mental, social, and environmental ecologies to its needs and desires. Leave the course with tools for individuating in our time of what Guattari called Integrated World Capitalism (IWC). Leave with new tools for tough times.
Learning Objectives
On completion of this class, you will be able to:
- Recall and explain Ecosophy
- Demonstrate a pragmatic understanding of Mental Ecology (subjectivity)
- Demonstrate a pragmatic understanding of Social Ecology
- Demonstrate a pragmatic understanding of Environmental Ecology
- Summarize the interdependence of The Three Ecologies
- Apply Ecosophy to personal development
- Apply Ecosophy to clinical practice
- Utilize new psychological tools for our tough times

The Union of Men with Women, and Women with Men:
What Jung Has to Teach Us about the Relations between the Sexes
5 consecutive Mondays, 7:00 – 8:30pm Eastern Time, USA via Zoom.
Beginning April 11, 2022
Instructor: David Rottman, MA
7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.
In this course we will explore Jung’s ideas about how men and women can overcome their difficulties in relating to each other. Jung has much to say about the psychological prerequisites for sustaining a workable relationship. We will discuss the questions: What is the role of the unconscious in who we choose as a partner? What is the process of taking back a projection to the opposite sex? What are the components of relating to the “otherness” of the other? What’s involved in the psychological task of accepting love? What is the role of wisdom as a bridge between men and women?
Jung’s pupil Marie-Louise Von Franz wrote: “Working out the problem of love between man and woman constellates unending hardships. But, as Jung mentioned, this is vitally important today not only for the individual but also for society and indeed for the moral and spiritual progress of mankind. It is a sphere visited today by the numen, where the weight of mankind’s problem has settled. That is the reason why the unconscious often uses impressive and important images to express the problem of love in order to show that it is something absolutely crucial.” (M-L Von Franz, Corpus Alchemicum Arabicum, p. 46)
Jung’s ideas of what makes for better relations with the opposite sex are invaluable, such as how a man’s grounding in his male shadow enables him to relate to women, and a woman’s grounding in her female shadow enables her to relate to men.
In the last portion of the course, we will explore how the process of completing our life’s journey (Individuation) manifests in the experience of inner and outer union.
Readings will consist of weekly handouts of quotations from Jung’s work and the work of his pupil Marie-Louse Von Franz.
Supplementary Texts:
The Way of the Image, Yoram Kaufmann
The Symbolic Quest, Edward C. Whitmont
Learning Objectives
On completion of this class, you will be able to:
- Discuss the stages of working through a projection to the opposite sex
- Define the distinctions between failed and successful attempts to make a union with the opposite sex, at both the inner and outer level (i.e. lesser and greater coniunctio)
- Identify the dimensions of the negative anima and animus in conflict between the sexes, and the developmental process of integrating their positive dimensions
- Summarize Jung’s view of the new importance of relatedness between men and women

We don’t know where dreams come from but, from experience, we know their purpose. They show us the next possible step in our developing consciousness. They warn us if we are going astray, encourage us if we need it and offer penetrating insights into our confusion. To interpret dreams we have to be disciplined and logical but also emotional, feeling, imaginative and sensate. Using Jung’s concepts as our guide, we will combine our insights to explore each dream and feel success when the class as a whole recognizes an answer and experiences a deepening of consciousness. We will not work with class members’ dreams. Please bring a dream, with permission, from a family member or friend.
Please look at the suggested readings at this address in advance of the start of this class: www.jungny.com/jungian-dream-interpretation-readings
Learning Objectives
On completion of this class, you will be able to:
- Distinguish between associations, explanations, and amplifications to a dream image.
- Distinguish between Freud's and Jung's use of associations to dream images.
- Identify which part of a dream gives the current psychological situation.
- Recognize the dream's setting and its importance.
- Practice using both logic and imagination in dream analysis.
- Identify some physiological reactions of the dreamer which demonstrate a useful interpretation.
- Describe the relationship between a dream and the dreamer's psychological progress.
- Recognize when a dream may (or may not) be helpful in clinical work.
- Recognize what Jung meant by a "true symbol."

Ravishing Heaven: The mystical poetry of Jacapone da Todi
5 Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:30pm, Eastern Time, USA via Zoom
Beginning March 2, 2022
Instructor: Brother Damien Joseph, SSF
There are no CE’s offered for this course.
The mystics in every faith tradition look to experience and the inner life to inform their experience of the divine, which makes them a subject of great interest to all students of the human soul/psyche. It also often leads them out of step with institutional religion, and makes possible insights considered too “dangerous” for approved theologies.
Jacopone da Todi (c. 1230-1306) was a Franciscan Friar best known for his “Lauds” or poems of praise. Little known today, through the years his work has been both praised and denounced for its grittiness, disregard for poetic conventions of the day, and unapologetic portrayals of the good and bad of Jacopone’s spiritual journey. His tomb is inscribed with this provocative summation of his life: “The blessed bones of Jacapone di Benedictis of Todi, who having gone mad with the love of Christ, by a new artifice deceived the world and ravished heaven.”
Through an examination of his life, context and writing, we’ll explore mystical themes that have given rise to such mixed feelings about him: madness, fear, eroticism, and ecstasy. We will see how, like most mystics, Jacopone transcended first the cultural values of his day, and ultimately even the conventional religious understandings of the institutional church, bringing him into conflict with the highest authorities and even landing him in prison for a substantial portion of his adult life. What these conflicts could never do was to dissuade Jacapone from his path of falling madly, passionately, and even violently in love with the divine.

Learning Objectives:
- Explain the importance of dreams in Jungian psychoanalysis: Jung’s methods of dream interpretation: The Creative Process of Form and Content in Active Imagination, Amplification, Individual Symbol Formation, and Individuation Process
- State the difference between ancient religious and mythological notions about the source and purpose of dreams and modern psychological theories.
- Discuss how dreaming has been depicted historically in art as a prophetic verbal and visual revelation from another dimension, which psychoanalysis now calls the unconscious.
- Explain how artists over the centuries have rendered in impressively profound images the phenomenon of dreaming as an activity essential to the transformation and expansion of consciousness.
- By painting dreams of their own in class, participants will directly embody the relation between art and psyche and then have an opportunity to share with other participants their uniquely personal experience of the creative process.

The Wellsprings of Renewal:
The Exodus Story as an Archetypal Framework for Transforming Personal,
Intergenerational and Collective Trauma
Saturday, May 7, 2022
11:00 am – 4:00 pm Eastern Time, USA
(Please note that this workshop begins one hour later than all of our other workshops.)
A Daylong Zoom Seminar led by Shoshana Fershtman, JD, PhD
Contact hours::4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program. General public welcome!
The Biblical Exodus from Egypt is an archetypal journey of healing from collective trauma and reconnecting with the sacred in the wake of catastrophic loss. Reflecting on this sacred story, we explore how the constricted consciousness created by personal, intergenerational and collective trauma is transformed. Jungian theory guides our understanding of how trauma creates a state of exile, where the ego becomes alienated from the Self. As we are awakened through numinous experience, we reconnect with the Self’s guiding wisdom.
The archetypes in the Exodus story show us how to grieve the losses engendered by both personal and intergenerational trauma, reconnect with the wellsprings of ancestral memory, discover the light hidden in the darkness of what may have been disowned in our family and cultural lineages, and soften defenses developed in response to trauma. As we do, we open to rebirth and post-traumatic repatterning of consciousness.
In this program we explore the rich psychological meaning of the archetypal journey of the Exodus story, a vessel into which Jewish sages over millennia distilled mystical wisdom. We find that this timeless story is also the story of our own time, offering profound insight for healing from personal and transgenerational trauma following the cataclysmic upheavals of recent collective history.
Understanding exile as disconnection from the Source, we follow Moses, keeper of the spiritual fire, and Serach bat Asher, preserver of ancestral memory. We encounter the depths with Joseph, touch collective grief with Lilith, experience the Red Sea crossing and Miriam’s well as psychological rebirth and Sinai as the repatterning of traumatized consciousness.
Wisdom drawn from millennia of Jewish mystical interpretations of the Exodus, as well as analytical psychology perspectives guide our exploration. The role of the Shekhinah (the Divine Feminine) in kabbalah is central in restoring our capacities for feeling and embodiment, both of which are profoundly injured when we experience trauma. The workshop will explore the teachings of Jungian scholars on themes related to Jewish mysticism and intergenerational trauma. The wider cross-cultural mythic implications of the Exodus story as both a personal and collective story about healing the relationship with the Self will also be explored.
The workshop will explore the following:
- A short overview of Jewish mysticism including Jungian perspectives on kabbalah, and Jungian views on transgenerational trauma.
- Various archetypes of healing in the Exodus story:
(a) The experience of exile in post-modernity and its meaning in our own time, including during the pandemic
(b) Awakening from the trance of exile through the relatedness of the Feminine
(c) discovering the Self through numinous experience (Moses)
(d) cultural complexes and the loss of connection to the Self
(e) reconnection with ancestral memory (Serach bat Asher and Lilith)
(f) learning to trust again in the wake of collective trauma (the movement through the Red Sea as rebirth, and the well of Miriam)
(g) Repatterning of traumatized consciousness (Sinai)
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
1. Demonstrate competency in working with those experiencing personal, transgenerational and cultural trauma.
2. Explain Biblical myths and symbols from the perspective of Jewish mysticism.
3. Describe the healing impact of reconnecting with the cultural collective unconscious in transforming collective trauma.
4. Explain Biblical myths and symbols through the lens of Jungian theory.
5. Recognize how reconnection to cultural collective unconscious supports healing of transgenerational and cultural trauma.

C.G. Jung and the Meaning of Life
Saturday, April 9, 2022
10:00am–3:00pm Eastern Time, USA
A Daylong Zoom Seminar Led by: Sanford L. Drob, PhD
Contact Hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
Jung held that psychotherapy involves more than just the relief of symptoms and can assist individuals in achieving individuation and making a deeper connection with life-meaning. His reflections on life-meaning were quite varied, and traversed existential, archetypal, and transcendental themes—themes which reflect the range of concerns which informed his psychology throughout his career.
In this seminar we will begin by exploring the existential themes which Jung linked to life-meaning: individuation and the realization of the self, a focus on life in this world, a personal confrontation with death, and an embrace of absurdity, paradox and the shadow elements of the personality. We will then discuss archetypal themes, including Jung’s emphasis on the significance and power of myth, symbols, and religion, and explore transcendental themes, which grew out of Jung’s experiences which led him to speculate that our world is only a small part of a greater, and presumably more meaningful, reality.
Finally, we will contextualize Jung’s thinking within the philosophical and psychological conceptions of “the meaning of life” from the Bible and ancient Greece to the present day and explore the relationship between psyche, values and life-meaning. In sum, this seminar will aim to enhance appreciation of life-meaning, consider the questions of objective and “cosmic” meaning, and advance an understanding of life-meaning’s clinical relevance and its place in our own lives.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Learning Objectives: TBA
- Discuss three ways in which Jung spoke about individuation.
- Identify three reasons why parenthood can be an opportunity for self-growth.
- Explain why a loss of control can be a prelude to deeper self-understanding.
- Name several benefits of anger.
- Discuss how life challenges can lead to a greater sense of psychological integration.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Describe how the process of psychotherapy can go beyond symptom relief to work on issues related to individuation and life meaning.
- Articulate the classical responses to the question of life’s meaning and relate these to the phenomenology of the human mind and the archetypes of the collective unconscious as they are understood in Jungian psychology.
- Describe and critique the distinction between “personal” and “cosmic” meaning and its relevance to the ethics of psychology and psychotherapy.
- Articulate how a metaphorical understanding of such age-old disciplines as Kabbalah and alchemy provide a guide to our understanding of the meaning of life and the process of individuation/self-actualization.
- Assess the significance of the archetype of “the Shadow” for life-meaning.

The Collective Unconscious in the Age of Neuroscience:
Severe Mental Illness and Jung in the 21st Century
Saturday, March 26, 2022
10:00am– 3:00pm Eastern Time, USA
A Daylong Zoom Seminar Led by: Hallie B. Durchslag, PhD, LISW-S
Contact Hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
Is all psychosis the same? Depth psychology treats it as such, yet medical models of severe mental illness say different. While medication may be frowned upon in some Jungian circles, some disorders cannot be treated without it. Is there common ground? Can Jung’s bedrock notion of a collective unconscious coexist within scientific advances that have occurred since his death? The answer is a resounding yes. This workshop will explore the remarkable prescience of Jung’s work, how medical models actually advance his theory, and the challenges and opportunities for analytical psychology moving forward.
Included in our program will be a personal journey of enchantment, then disillusionment, with Jungian practice through the presenter’s own struggle with bipolar I disorder and psychosis. The research Dr. Durchslag will share was born out of the lived conundrum of reconciling medical and depth psychological models of treatment. In the end, her journey led to a renewed and deeper connection to Carl Jung’s body of work.
This workshop will allow participants to view these questions through an analysis of four autobiographical narratives, including the presenter’s, which highlight the consistency of connection to numinous and transpersonal collective material. A brief overview of medications used in the treatment of severe mental illness will offer a vision of how this transcendent material appears to manifest at a physiological level, and shed light on Jung’s later exploration of synchronicity and the ultimate unity between psyche and matter.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Participants will be able to:
-
- Define severe mental illness from perspective of both medical and depth psychological models.
- Use case material to highlight challenges for depth psychology in regard to bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia.
- Build familiarity with the divergent paths of classical and developmental post-Jungian theory and practice.
- Build global understanding of current medications for treatment of severe mental illness.
- Utilize case material to highlight how severe mental illness aligns with basic tenets of analytical psychology.
- Identify and explore how individuation and notions of Self coincide/diverge in psychotic disorders.
- Build dialogue related to human physiology and a collective psyche.
Hallie B. Durchslag, PhD, LISW-S, lives in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where she teaches, writes, and maintains a private practice as a Jungian-based, psychodynamic psychotherapist. She began her career as a social worker in the arena of Community Development after earning a Master of Science in Social Administration (M.S.S.A) at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve University. Shifting toward a clinical practice in 2009, she earned her doctorate (PhD) in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Dr. Durchslag has an abiding interest in the complexity of what makes us both human and transcendent beings. Her research over the past 10 years has looked at this subject through the lens of severe mental illnesses and their physiological connection to Jungian theory. Her book, The Collective Unconscious in the Age of Neuroscience: Severe Mental Illness and Jung in the 21st Century (Routledge) was released in July 2020. She maintains her commitment to the macro side of social work as the curator of The Anima Mundi Project, which looks at soul-based approaches to holistic personal development and community-building. She is a Past-President and current Honorary Board member of the Jung Educational Center of Cleveland.

Cinema through a Jungian Theoretical Lens
Seminar 2: Spring 2022
12 Tuesdays: 6:00 – 7:30pm ET
January 25 – April 12, 2022
Instructor: Jane Selinske, EdD, LCSW, LP, NCPsyA
“Imagination reveals to us, in the form of a more or less
Striking analogy, what is the process of becoming.”
—C.G. Jung, CW 7
C.G. Jung appreciated what films were able to present to the viewer, particularly in the conjunction between imagery and dialogue. It was apparent to him that cinema could provide a “Temenos,” or womb-like container, in a dark space where the unconscious could be aroused and the psyche could potentially be projected into consciousness. Like Jungian analysis, films provide a space where psyche can be seen, experienced, and also listened to by the individual or another.
According to John Beebe, “cinema is a medium not of actors but of images” and for Jung, symbolic images provide the best intuitive idea that cannot be formulated in any better way which provides potential meaning. Jung’s symbolic way helps individuals watch and reflect on the images and meanings that have been stimulated and projected into consciousness. Like the creative art therapeutics of music, dance and art, Cinema is also a psychological art. Cinema allows us the “Temenos” to engage our feelings and release our associative fantasies. By watching a film, our unconscious projections have the potential to be seen and integrated into consciousness.
This seminar will involve watching current and historical popular films before each class session. The films will be discussed from a Jungian Theoretical Lens and some film titles will be elicited from the group. Discussions, application of Jungian theory and creative process will provide an opportunity for participants to intellectually apply Jungian theory to the film and personally identify the personal projections and ego awareness from each viewing. We will also discuss how to use the potential in a film for working with clients. Participants will be responsible for finding the films and independently watching the film each week in advance of the class session. The first two films to be viewed and discussed will be the original and new versions of West Side Story.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
The course is designed so that participants will be able to:
- Discuss the role of cinema in the development of the Ego/Self Axis.
- Describe the role of Active Imagination in Psychic Development.
- Identify Jung’s Map of the Psyche in relation to films.
- Identify symbols in films through music, photography and art.
- Discuss how to use the potential in a film for working with clients.
- Identify and discuss the appearance of films within dreams.
- Provide students with a bibliography on Jungian Theory and Cinema.

Motherhood: Facing and Finding Yourself
Saturday, February 26, 2022
10:00am– 3:00pm Eastern Time, USA
A Daylong Zoom Seminar Led by: Lisa Marchiano, LCSW, NCPsyA
Contact Hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
According to Jung, individuation is the goal of psychological development. In this workshop, we will take a look at how motherhood can be an individuation opportunity. We will explore how Jung defined individuation and consider why parenthood so readily challenges us to deepen into ourselves. We will consider fairy tales that relate to the experience of motherhood and illustrate different aspects of individuation – the experience of descent and loss; the confrontation with shadow; and the integration of formerly split off aspects of ourselves. Participants will have the opportunity to engage the ideas presented in this workshop through brief journaling prompts and small and large group discussions.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Participants will be able to:
- Discuss three ways in which Jung spoke about individuation.
- Identify three reasons why parenthood can be an opportunity for self-growth.
- Explain why a loss of control can be a prelude to deeper self-understanding.
- Name several benefits of anger.
- Discuss how life challenges can lead to a greater sense of psychological integration.

Visiting the Land of Oz: A Study of the Archetypes of an American Myth
CLOSED
Saturday, December 4, 2021
10:00am– 3:00pm Eastern Time, USA
A Daylong Zoom Seminar Led by: Jeanne Creekmore, PhD, ATR-BC
Contact hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
When the movie The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939, it was already well known to four generations of children who had read the original series of books by Frank L. Baum. The iconic songs and imagery of this MGM classic have inspired subsequent adaptations in books, plays, and movies, suggesting that this story still contains relevant issues for our time.
Since Dorothy’s experience in Oz resembles a dream, we will use Jung’s method of dream analysis to understand the meanings of this myth. We will identify the archetypal motifs embodied in the characters of this story as they set out on their journey to Oz with particular attention paid to the orphan archetype and positive and negative aspects of the mother archetype. Seminar participants will be asked to share dreams, active imaginations, or creative work that relates to an image or character in this story in order to deepen our understanding of these archetypes (see assignment below).
Assignment: Identify a character or symbol in the movie that resonates with you. Then engage this character (or object) by doing an active imagination or some kind of creative work: write a poem about it, create a dance or a piece of art based on this character. Please email a photo of your work to drjcreekmore@comcast.net one week before we meet.
