A Visionary’s Imagination: C.G. Jung:
Art, Active Imagination and the Creative Process
5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:30pm
Eastern Time, USA. Beginning April 14, 2021
CLOSED
Instructor: Maria Taveras, LCSW
7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers,
Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.
This course will contrast the Freudian aesthetic based on free association with a Jungian aesthetic based on active imagination.
Active imagination is perhaps the most radical innovation of Jungian psychology. In contrast to free association, which is a passive process, active imagination is a process in which the ego actively evokes images from the unconscious and actively engages those images. Whereas free association is an interior monologue (a dictation from the unconscious to the ego), active imagination is an interior dialogue (a conversation between the ego and the unconscious).
The most famous example of the Freudian aesthetic is surrealism. “Surrealism,” Andre Breton says, “is based on the belief in the superior reality of repressed associations.” It was possible for the surrealists to articulate a Freudian aesthetic because Freud’s writings on free association were available in the first quarter of the twentieth century. In contrast, Jung’s writings on active imagination were unavailable at that time. The Transcendent Function, although written in 1916, was not published until 1957; Memories, Dreams, Reflections was not published until 1961, and The Red Book was not published until 2009.
Jung was influenced by visual art works as a young man and by his encounter and relationship to Modern Art. “At one time I took a great interest in art. I painted myself, sculpted and did wood carving. I have a certain sense of color. When modern art came on the scene, it presented a great psychological problem for me. I wrote about Picasso and Joyce. I recognized there something which is very unpopular, namely the very thing which confronts me in my patients.”
Thus, it seems as though the individual psyche expresses itself in relation to the emotional experiences of the ego and/or a priori, the ego in relationship to the archetype. The particular visual forms of expression have their own personality (language, mannerisms and personal characteristics) unique to the autonomous psyche. The Art of the personality is its expression in thoughts, ideas, emotions, behaviors, instincts, and the senses.
The creative dialogue between the ego and the unconscious and archetypal is an important factor in the creative process since the affect laden ego mixes with the archetypal unconscious to create the artistic product. By creating art out of their own active imagination, dreams, visions, images, dance, or writings, 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.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the practical, clinical value of the theoretical difference between Freud’s technique of free association and Jung’s method of active imagination.
- Explain clinically how to apply Jung’s method of internal dialogue between the ego and images that emerge spontaneously, autonomously, and purposively from the unconscious to enable clients to experience their psyche
- Develop a general knowledge of Jung’s relationship with his imagination.
- Describe the difference between being an “Artist” and the Artist within.
- Learn how to employ Jung’s method of Active Imagination in order to induce in clients an altered state of consciousness so that they can access the archetype of creativity within the unconscious.

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:
https://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."

Christian Mysticism and the Secret of Knowing God
CLOSED
5 consecutive Mondays, 6:30 – 8:00pm
Eastern Time, USA. Beginning March 1, 2021
Instructor: Brother Damien Joseph, SSF
Recent years have seen a renewal of interest in mysticism of various kinds, including the mystical tradition within Christianity. It’s easy to think of Christianity as a set of doctrines and beliefs, as a systematic theology of right and wrong ideas, and as a way of knowing about God. But throughout the church’s history, another way has always persisted —sometimes dominant, sometimes neglected or mistrusted, or even actively suppressed. This is the tradition of the mystics, whose pursuit is not solely or primarily to know about God, but rather to know God, in a personal and experiential way. Our goal will be to become familiar with some of the basic concepts and imagery of mysticism, and to encounter a few examples of mystical writing in hopes of enriching our own spiritual lives and practice, and as a challenge to approach God not merely through knowledge but also through experience. While the course content focuses on mystical theology itself, opportunity will be provided to discuss intersections and applications to Jungian thought.
We will approach this goal with a broad introductory session followed by four sessions looking at examples from individual mystical writers, in this case, all from the Franciscan tradition: Clare of Assisi, Ramon Llull, Bonaventure, and Angela of Foligno.
There are no CE’s offered for this course.
Session 1:Ascensio- the soul’s ascent into God
What is mysticism? In this introduction to mystical thought, we’ll take a brief look at the definitions, history, and major themes of mysticism as a movement in Western Christianity. We’ll also identify examples of major mystical thinkers for further reading and study.
Session 2: Contemplatio - fixing the mind on God
We will consider a mystical approach to contemplation using brief selections from letters of Clare of Assisi, her imagery of “the Mirror of Eternity,” and her instructions to a Sister on her method of contemplative prayer.
Session 3: Dilectio - the delights of God’s love
We will sample the rich (and historically often controversial) theme of romantic and even erotic love as an image for knowing God, specifically through selections from Ramon Llull’s Book of the Lover and the Beloved. We’ll also briefly touch on this theme’s roots in the Biblical Song of Songs.
Session 4: Passio - knowing God in suffering
The cross, suffering, and death of Christ may seem an unlikely ground for a way of contemplation often associated with “raptures” and “ecstasy,” but it is in fact central to the mystical vision. We’ll look at excerpts of Bonaventure’s reflections on the Cross and Passion of Christ, and on Francis of Assisi as an example of mystical union with Christ.
Session 5: Ablatio - the way of negation and unknowing
The pinnacle of experiencing God, according to virtually all of the great mystics, is the entry into a state of unknowing, beyond conceiving or describing. In this session, we’ll use selections from Angela of Foligno’s Memorial to approach the mystical via negativa (“way of negation”) and the compelling, if counter-intuitive idea of the “darkness of God.”

5 consecutive Mondays, 6:30 – 8:00pm
Eastern Time, USA. Beginning March 1, 2021
Instructor: Brother Damien Joseph, SSF
Recent years have seen a renewal of interest in mysticism of various kinds, including the mystical tradition within Christianity. It’s easy to think of Christianity as a set of doctrines and beliefs, as a systematic theology of right and wrong ideas, and as a way of knowing about God. But throughout the church’s history, another way has always persisted —sometimes dominant, sometimes neglected or mistrusted, or even actively suppressed. This is the tradition of the mystics, whose pursuit is not solely or primarily to know about God, but rather to know God, in a personal and experiential way. Our goal will be to become familiar with some of the basic concepts and imagery of mysticism, and to encounter a few examples of mystical writing in hopes of enriching our own spiritual lives and practice, and as a challenge to approach God not merely through knowledge but also through experience. While the course content focuses on mystical theology itself, opportunity will be provided to discuss intersections and applications to Jungian thought.
We will approach this goal with a broad introductory session followed by four sessions looking at examples from individual mystical writers, in this case, all from the Franciscan tradition: Clare of Assisi, Ramon Llull, Bonaventure, and Angela of Foligno.
There are no CE’s offered for this course.
Session 1:Ascensio- the soul’s ascent into God
What is mysticism? In this introduction to mystical thought, we’ll take a brief look at the definitions, history, and major themes of mysticism as a movement in Western Christianity. We’ll also identify examples of major mystical thinkers for further reading and study.
Session 2: Contemplatio - fixing the mind on God
We will consider a mystical approach to contemplation using brief selections from letters of Clare of Assisi, her imagery of “the Mirror of Eternity,” and her instructions to a Sister on her method of contemplative prayer.
Session 3: Dilectio - the delights of God’s love
We will sample the rich (and historically often controversial) theme of romantic and even erotic love as an image for knowing God, specifically through selections from Ramon Llull’s Book of the Lover and the Beloved. We’ll also briefly touch on this theme’s roots in the Biblical Song of Songs.
Session 4: Passio - knowing God in suffering
The cross, suffering, and death of Christ may seem an unlikely ground for a way of contemplation often associated with “raptures” and “ecstasy,” but it is in fact central to the mystical vision. We’ll look at excerpts of Bonaventure’s reflections on the Cross and Passion of Christ, and on Francis of Assisi as an example of mystical union with Christ.
Session 5: Ablatio - the way of negation and unknowing
The pinnacle of experiencing God, according to virtually all of the great mystics, is the entry into a state of unknowing, beyond conceiving or describing. In this session, we’ll use selections from Angela of Foligno’s Memorial to approach the mystical via negativa (“way of negation”) and the compelling, if counter-intuitive idea of the “darkness of God.”

Individuation Hijacked: Perils and Potentials of the Heroic and Compulsive Personality
Saturday Workshop
CLOSED
9:00am – 2:00pm
A daylong online Zoom seminar led by Gary Trosclair, DMA, LCSW
Contact hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
"The energy of the central point is manifested in the almost irresistible compulsion and urge to become what one is, just as every organism is driven to assume the form that is characteristic of its nature, no matter what the circumstances.” C.G. Jung
Jung described the individuation process as compulsive, a powerful inner urge that's almost impossible to resist. While the energy behind this urge can lead to the development of a whole and unique personality, it can also be used to compensate for insecurity, leading to the illness of our times, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
Using Greek myth and modern film, we will explore how the energy inherent in individuation and the archetype of the Hero may be hijacked to prove that we are worthy of love. The original intention of individuation and of the Hero is lost and the personality becomes rigid, controlling, and work-obsessed. Understanding the teleology, the original intent of the urge to individuate, can help us to re-channel this energy into more satisfying and meaningful ways of living. This presentation will be of help to clinicians who treat clients with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), individuals who struggle with their own compulsive tendencies, and partners of individuals whose personalities have become difficult to deal with because of their rigidity.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish OCD from OCPD.
- Identify three characteristics of clients with OCPD.
- Identify two adaptive aspects of the compulsive personality.
- Identify two key aspects of treating compulsive patients.

The Racial Complex and Our Collective Trauma
Saturday Workshop
Saturday, October 31, 2020: Closed!
10:00am – 3:00pm
A daylong online Zoom seminar led by Fanny Brewster, MFA, PhD, LP
Contact hours: 4 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program.
As we move further into the 21st century it becomes possible to reflect more on 19th and 20th century psychological theories. One such theoretical writing was C.G. Jung’s A Review of the Complex Theory. This theory of a “color” complex was developed by Jung in regard to individuals of Africanist ancestry. As Americans we live with the collective cultural trauma of racism that has been a part of our society since slavery. This intergenerational trauma caused by the racial complex continues to be constellated on an individual as well as a collective level.
Jungian Psychology with a focus on the unconscious as well as ego development is concerned with psychological complexes. Jung’s idea regarding complexes is an entry to explore the racial complex in relationship to ethnicity, racism and intergenerational trauma, through a perspective that addresses de-colonization of psychological theories. This workshop invites us to engage in conversation, writing and thoughtful dialogue about this relationship, in a direction towards deeper understanding and healing.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss C.G. Jung's general theory of psychological complexes and its applicability to clinical practice in terms of the Transference relationship.
- Explain two characteristics of C.G. Jung’s “color”/ racial complex, its theoretical history and contemporary influence on the development of cultural group process.
- Define C.G. Jung's perspective on the American collective societal issue of racism as described in his Collected Works writings from the 1930’s.
Fanny Brewster, MFA, PhD, LP, is a Professor in the Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices Department at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA. As a Jungian analyst, she gives presentations and workshops on Jungian related topics to national and international audiences, including issues related to American racial relations, racism and cultural complexes. She is the author of several books, including African Americans and Jungian Psychology: Leaving the Shadows and The Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race, on which this program is based.

Jungian Dream Interpretation Online
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
Fridays, 6:00-7:30pm Eastern Time, USA.
Beginning November 13, 2020—excluding November 27
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
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.

Redemption and the Dark Masculine: Recovering Authentic Masculinity as Part of the Individuation Process
5 Tuesdays, 6:30–8:00pm
Beginning November 10, 2020
Instructor: Christopher Cooper, MS, LP
Masculinity is in crisis. As the waning of patriarchy has eroded social norms and gender stereotypes that privileged males, increasing numbers of men in our culture are now struggling with feelings of rejection, existential angst, and uncertainty. As part of the #metoo movement, much is being written about “toxic” masculinity, insidious misogyny, and the need for collective action to stem the tide of violent acts against women. New models of authentic masculinity are desperately called for, but few exist. Now, more than ever, masculine psychological development is in need of serious reimagining. This course will explore the archetypal underpinnings of masculine psychological development to enrich clinical understanding of the maladaptive male behaviors, attitudes, ideas, and outlooks that are increasingly presenting in consulting rooms across the country and around the world.
7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.
Learning Objectives:
On completion of this class, you will be able to:
- Challenge the social norms and gender stereotypes that have placed limits on the male gender experience.
- Distinguish archetypal patterns that underpin masculine psychological development.
- Comprehend the centrality and symbolic importance of aggression in the masculine Individuation process.
- Differentiate between the qualities of “authentic” masculinity and hyper masculinity
- Identify approaches to attend to the developmental, psychological, and spiritual needs of men in clinical settings

The Resurrection of Shadow through Dream Imagery: A View at the Border of Light and Dark
5 Thursdays, 6:00–7:30pm
Beginning October 8, 2020
Instructor: Joan Golden-Alexis, PhD
“The shadow is an archetype that is the most accessible and the easiest to experience. The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.”—C.G. Jung, C.W. §14 9ii
The shadow, often discernable in dreams through personifications that are of the same sex as the dreamer, displays character traits and ways of behaving that form the counter-part to the conscious personality. When resurrected, the shadow personalities are seen to embody not only repressed drives, but more importantly those values that consciousness rejects. The shadow, however, is not the mere opposite of the conscious personality, but rather represents what each conscious personality lacks. Shadow represents for each of us what we might have been, but as yet not had the chance to be. Thus, shadow throws a bright light on identity, who one is relative to what one might have become, and offers a clarifying focus on the choices we have made and how these choices may have severely limited our innate potential. Shadow, our most intimate life companion, never leaves our side and scrupulously tracks how much we exclude that which belongs to us, shedding a constant light upon the processes that cast a long shadow.
This course will be devoted to examining how our dreams naturally and organically draw attention to this subtle exclusionary process, and consequently offer the dreamer the possibility of discovering the depth of his moral integrity while tracking at a given moment what is most essential in his personality that may have been overlooked.
7.5 CE contact hours for licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists.
Learning Objectives
On completion of this class, you will be able to:
- To develop a sense of how dream imagery informs and broadens our understanding of shadow, and its enormous role in expanding the growth of consciousness.
- To acquaint ourselves with dreams as a productive force that opens us to a symbolic understanding of the transformational potential of shadow personalities and their relationship to aspects of what the ego doesn’t yet recognize.
- To learn to view dream language as a cinematic event that can best be understood through an affective and kinesthetic correspondence to the imagery.
- To formulate a tentative answer to the question: “Is psyche ever out of touch with the importance of the moral integrity as it relates to the transformation of the personality?”
- Using the skills learned during the first four sessions, we will wrestle with an understanding of the shadow elements in the dreams offered by the class.
Recommended Reading
A Narrative will be sent before the class begins containing all the background information to allow for a more in depth understanding of the content covered by the class. Please read as the class proceeds.
