Continuing Education Courses —Spring 2013
The C.G. Jung Foundation Continuing Education courses are five-week courses designed to be informative and stimulating both to the general public and to professionals. Our program offers you the opportunity to study and explore analytical psychology, the works of C.G. Jung, and fields of related interest.
Spring II: Classes begin the week of April 8, 2013
Indeterminate Wholeness: C.G. Jung and Eastern Thought-Finding "Silence"
5 consecutive Mondays, 6:30–8:10 pm
Beginning April 8
Instructor: Royce Froehlich, LCSW, MDiv
C.G. Jung listened to his own inner experiences as well as Eastern contemplative thought to develop a psychology of "wholeness." He drew from teachers and texts that also influenced the composer John Cage, who had learned from Jung a model for exploring psyche. Passages from Jung and Cage's writings will inform multimedia presentations that focus on finding value and pleasure in exploring the notion of "active stillness" and its role on our unique (and indeterminate) process of individuation.
Materials fee: $5.
Reading:
C.G. Jung "Introduction to Zen Buddhism" in Collected Works 11, Psychology and Religion: West-East; or, C.G. Jung: Eastern Psychology (paperback), John Cage, Silence.,
C.G. Jung, Foreword to D.T. Suzuki, "Introduction to Zen Buddhism"; Foreword to the "I-Ching"; "On the Discourses of the Buddha" in Psychology and the East (paperback); Kay Larson, Where the Heart Beats: John Cage, Zen Buddhism, and the Inner Life of Artists.
5 consecutive Mondays, 7:00–8:40 pm
Beginning April 8
Instructor: Jane Selinske, EdD, LCSW, LP, MT-BC
Jung defined shadow as "the thing a person has no wish to be" (CW 16, para. 470), everything we do not know about ourselves, both dark and light. However, we get glimpses of these unknown shadow parts of ourselves when we project our shadow into the world or onto another. We can come to know and embrace our shadow through dreams, projections and paying attention to the opposites that we attract or reject. During this class, the group will learn techniques to discover and engage their shadow projections so they can come to terms with their shadow and not continue to be blind to this powerful archetype.
Invisible Partners: Anima and Animus
5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:00–7:40 pm
Beginning April 10
Instructor: Maxson J. McDowell, PhD, LMSW, LP
When a woman has a crush on a man, she is partly fascinated by her own unconscious masculine potential (animus). A man may likewise be fascinated by his own unconscious feminine potential (anima). This fascination may draw a couple into relationship, but the animus and anima tend to remain unconscious. As long as each is unconscious, each tends to be destructive. With a struggle, we can become more conscious of our own animus or anima. Consciousness leads to an inner relationship (with the animus or anima) which is the source of creativity. That inner relationship also makes it easier to have relationships in the outer world. We will read five fairy tales about the animus (anima), and analyze them together. We will see that apparently simple fairy tales may contain astute psychological insight. You can expect to gain some new consciousness of your own relationship to that part of the psyche which has characteristics of the opposite gender. This will also give you practice in symbolic thought, which is necessary for analyzing dreams.
Exploring Transformative Images, Part II
Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus
5 consecutive Wednesdays, 6:30–8:10 pm
Beginning April 10
Instructor: Sylvester Wojtkowski, PhD
"What speaks to me of things human, immensely, with calm of authority that makes my hearing spacious, is the phenomenon of those who have died young."
Rilke's Letter to Annette Kolb, January 23, 1912.
We [must] let a work of art act upon us as it acted upon the artist. To grasp its meaning, we must allow us to shape us as it shaped him. Then we also understand the nature of the primordial experience.
C.G. Jung, CW 15, p. 105.
We will continue our study of transformative poetic images from another major work of Rilke's - Sonnets to Orpheus. The cycle of fifty five sonnets, written in February, 1922, are Rilke's memorial to his friend's daughter, a dancer who died young. Rilke himself considered them the most mysterious songs: "in the way they came up and entrusted themselves to me, the most enigmatic dictation I have ever held through and achieved." In The Sonnets, Rilke beautifully condensed enormous amounts of psychic material around the mythologem of Orphic descent. Interaction of the poem, translator's voice and reader/listener's subjectivity will elucidate the experience of the reality of imagination. In the class, we will interpret and harken to the sounds and symbols of the transformative mythopoeic process expressing itself through poetic speech. We will trace the vicissitudes of the image as it transforms itself, revealing ever-deeper dimensions of the soul. Emphasis will be given to foster imaginal consciousness that is attuned to the mythopoeic imagination.
Note: This course is held at 420 East 51st Street, Suite C.
Beyond Words: Journaling in Images
5 consecutive Thursdays, 6:30–8:10 pm
Beginning April 11
Instructor: Barbara Barry
Many individuals who strive for a greater self-knowledge keep journals, which are most often recorded in written language. However, 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.
Materials fee: $35
