Seminar #1, Fall 2018: The Master Archetype: Integrating the Opposites in Life, Thought and Psychotherapy 12 Wednesdays: 7:00 - 8:30 pm Instructor: Sanford L. Drob, PhD It can be said that the interdependence and union of opposites is the basis of Jung's psychology, the key to the practice of psychotherapy, and the "master archetype," or most general principle, of both life and thought. In this workshop we will trace the history of this archetype in mysticism, alchemy, philosophy, and psychology and explore Jung's thinking on coincidentia oppositorum from The Red Book to Mysterium Coniunctionis. Jung's understanding of this archetype will be considered against the background of his study of alchemy and will be contextualized in relation to the history of both eastern and western spirituality and thought, including Taoism, Hinduism, the Kabbalah, Christian mysticism, Hegel Nietzsche, Freud, and Derrida. |

We will assess various forms of communication through which analyst and analysand interact and experience one another. |

The Shadow
5 consecutive Mondays, 6:00–7:40 pm
Instructor Gary Brown, LCSW, LP
Shadow is everywhere, yet, as we will see in Jung's model, it is often buried in our studies, given less attention than it deserves, its importance and its archetypal depth overlooked. Shadow's location in the Jungian model will be explored until we reach the depths where we find its connection to the Self. |

Trauma and Dissociated States: A Jungian Perspective
5 consecutive Tuesdays, 7:00–8:40 pm
Instructor Harry Fogarty, PhD
From a Jungian perspective, dissociation is what we are not aware of on a conscious level that is retained by our bodies in a preverbal sense. Specific links between trauma and somatic states, "embodiment," will be explored. In particular we will consider shifts in therapeutic approaches as suggested by Schore, Wilkinson, Levine, and Kalsched.

Painting the Psyche: Wonders of the Dream World
5 consecutive Thursdays, 6:30–8:10 pm
Instructor Maria Taveras, LCSW
This workshop on "Painting the Psyche" will be an opportunity to experience and explore archetypal images that emerge from what Jung calls the creative imagination. We will delve into the depths of the psyche to render in paint a visual of the dream image and to amplify what the dream world so wondrously reflects to us. |

Passion: What Can We Learn About It from Jung?
5 consecutive Mondays, 7:00–8:40 pm
Instructor David Rottman, MA
Jung has much to say about how we can create a new channel for passion in work and relationships, in order to be creatively engaged and involved in our lives. In this course we will explore Jung's ideas about passion as well as the ideas of his main pupil, Marie-Louise Von Franz. |

The Self: Experience, Conceptualization and Buddhist Practice
5 consecutive Tuesdays, 6:00–7:40 pm
Instructor Suzanne Ironbiter, PhD
One of the most challenging aspects of Buddha's teaching is the doctrine that no self has inherent reality or independent existence. Buddhist meditation practices, studies and ethics are the path to that insight. We will explore the Buddhist no-self teachings and practices, and solicit discussion of how they relate to people's non-Buddhist views of self, and particularly to the Jungian archetype of the self as a universal symbol of wholeness. |

An Archetypal View of Jung's Typology through the Lens of Astrological Symbolism
5 consecutive Tuesdays, 7:00–8:40 pm
Instructor Cynthia Poorbaugh, MFA, LP
This course will focus on Jung's theory of typology in the context of his early astrological knowledge, and the archetypal roots of the four functions of sensation, feeling, intuition and thinking, dating back to ancient Greece—principally the four elements, fundamental to astrology and alchemy: earth, water, fire and air.

A Jungian Aesthetic: Art, Active Imagination, and the Creative ProcessTuesday, December 4, 2018: 12:30 – 1:30 pm A First Tuesday Lunch Forum presented by Maria Taveras, LCSW.
A hundred years ago, in 1913, when Jung invented active imagination, a female voice from the unconscious said to him that what he was doing was art. Jung disparaged this anima figure as "that aesthetic lady" and protested emphatically: "It is not art!"
In 20th century modern art, there was a famous Freudian aesthetic based on free association – surrealism. Now in the 21st century, especially after the publication of Jung's Red Book, we have an opportunity, for the first time, to develop a Jungian aesthetic based on active imagination. What exactly is the relation between art, active imagination, and the creative process?

The Divine Mind: The Psychological History of God's Inner JourneySaturday, October 27, 2018: A day-long workshop led by Michael Gellert, MA, LCSW Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program. We will first focus on the Abrahamic God's evolution as depicted in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We will then explore the profound disappointments and suffering that the biblical God encountered on his inner journey toward greater consciousness. We will see how these contributed toward his trauma and other existential and clinical afflictions as illustrated in the Hebrew Bible. We will also discuss what it means historically and for us today that the God of Western and Islamic civilization suffered from these conditions. Special attention will be given to what Jung, among others, has called the "Yahweh complex." Our approach to God will be as a figure of the religious imagination rather than as a representation of an objective Godhead. |

The Stranger at the DoorSaturday, November 17, 2018: A day-long workshop led by Bonnie L. Damron, PhD, LCSW Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program. "But what if I should discover that the least amongst them all, the poorest of all beggars, the most impudent of all offenders yea the very fiend himself—that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness, that I myself am the enemy who must be loved—what then?" C.G. Jung The ancient Greek word xenos translates into English as stranger, beggar or foreigner. In this program, we will discuss the archetype of xenos, reflect on some traditional stories, and allow them to speak to us. We will then focus our attention inward and ask, "What is the relationship between the stranger at the door and a person's inner life?" Jung draws a straight line for us from theological and mythological considerations about this archetype directly to psychology, to psyche, and the individuation process. In order to mediate this process, we will reflect analytically on some dreams and stories, which show us how we—the ego consciousness—may be enlarged when we "greet the beggar at the door." |

Spiritualism as a Significant Influence in the Origin of Jungian PsychologySaturday, December 8, 2018: A day-long workshop led by Jane Selinske, EdD, LCSW, LP Contact hours: 6 CE contact hours for Licensed NYS Social Workers, Psychoanalysts and Creative Arts Therapists for this program. Jung's maternal Spiritualistic influences and his paternal Christian history were a constant struggle for him during his life time. His religious experiences mediated through the collective unconscious were factors that contributed to Jung's ongoing search to understand the intersection of spirituality and science. We will discuss how the origin of Jungian Psychology was influenced by Jung's exposure to Spiritualism, his descent into the psyche and his mythic life with the dead. |
