The C.G. Jung Foundation of New York has announced its Summer Study Programs. Ten days in July are divided into two intensive programs that delve into Jungian psychology and philosophy.From the publicity:
For half a century, the C.G. Jung Foundation of New York has been conducting educational programs for both professionals and the general public. It is the publisher of online Quadrant: The Journal of the C.G. Jung Foundation and runs a book service offering a wide selection of books by and about C.G. Jung and the field of analytical psychology.
The Foundation’s Summer Study Program is a unique opportunity to meet people from all over the United States and the world who share a common interest in Jung and his ideas. Past summer participants hailed from such diverse locations as Brazil, Switzerland, Belgium, Puerto Rico, Australia, Ireland, Venezuela, and the Pacific Northwest. Both of the Intensive programs have been carefully designed to be informative and stimulating for professionals in the field and the general public. We encourage participants from a wide range of backgrounds to attend either or both sessions of our summer program.
This Summer Study program is your chance to spend time studying at the C.G. Jung Center of New York, a lovely brownstone in midtown Manhattan, conveniently located near many of New York City’s most famous attractions. The Jung Center includes the Jung Foundation’s Book Store, the Kristine Mann Library and the Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism, an extensive image library. Additionally, our staff will help provide those of you from out of town with any information that you might need regarding individual exploration of New York City during your time here.
Register early! Enrollment will be limited. We look forward to meeting you in July.
Intensive Program 1
Paths of Consciousness
July 7 to 11
In our first program, we will pay particular attention to our interior lives, starting with a simple letting go and centering. In turn, we will explore the art of expanding consciousness through creativity and Jung’s idea of individual and psychological wholeness. We will go deeper, examining our death consciousness and Jung’s notion of the ‘returned dead’ that he explores in The Red Book. We will conclude the week by discussing dream as a mirror of the soul and a possible route to our own transfiguration.
Monday, July 7
9 to 10 a.m.
Registration, Welcome and Orientation
10 to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
Con–center–ation
The act of concentration is a purposeful gathering together of oneself. We will look at the idea of centering as it is reflected in Jung’s work—through his theories of libido, compulsions, fear, and the religious attitude—while asking what it is that we find ourselves circling around, what de–centers us, and how come it does?
Instructor: Royce Froehlich, LCSW, MDiv
Tuesday, July 8
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
Awakening to Presence:
Exploring Consciousness Through Creativity
How we are present in each moment, with ourselves, with others and with the world around us, holds endless possibilities for understanding and experience. There are many doors and pathways to awakening, to experiencing consciousness. Today we will explore opportunities for connecting with presence through art, poetry, writing and simple movement.
Instructor: Wendi R. Kaplan, MSW, CPT-M/S, LCSW
Wednesday, July 9
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
Paths of Consciousness:
Jungian Analysis and the Individuation Process
C.G. Jung began his descent into the unconscious after his break with Freud and emerged with a new approach to psychological engagement based on the individual journey with the ego and the Self, expressed through active imagination and mandala imagery. Jung called it Jungian Analysis and the Individuation Process to differentiate it from Freud’s methodology. Both are connected with the discovery of meaning and encompass the fullness of the individual’s teleological destiny along with one’s relationship to oneself and to the world. Participants will revisit the origin and meaning of Jung’s analytic individuation process and will learn and experience active imagination and mandala drawing.
Instructor: Jane Selinske, Ed.D., LCSW, LP, MT-BC
Thursday, July 10
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
Death as a Path into
and Through Consciousness
We will explore Jung’s view of death as a path into and through consciousness. We will also examine Jung’s own “descent” into death in The Red Book—Jung's Book of the Dead—and explore the questions that are posed by the “returned dead” who we encounter through ritual, imagination and art. Jung also frequently opens up the territory of life as only being “life” as it is “life and death.” We will circumambulate this motif from the awakening into a conscious journey that death is for Gilgamesh, to contemporary clinical and personal reflections.
Friday, July 11
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
The Soul’s Mirror:
Awakening Under the Dreammaker’s Gaze
By exposing us to infinite varieties of experience, our night dreams can enlarge our range of awareness and help us transfigure our sense of self and world. In this workshop, we will treat the dream as the soul’s mirror and entertain ways to enter into a dialectical relationship with the dreammaker—that mysterious, omniscient architect of the dream.
Instructor: Melanie Starr Costello, Ph.D.
Intensive Program 2
Dark Forces of the Psyche
July 14 to 18
Monday, July 14
9 to 10 a.m.
Registration, Welcome and Orientation
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
From Betrayal to Transformation
“God and the Creation were not enough
for Adam; Eve was required, which means
that betrayal was required.”
James Hillman
In the hero myths, a betrayer is often the catalyst for transformation. Think of Judas and Jesus; Siegfried and Hagen; Caesar and Brutus. We will explore how one deals with betrayal, whether that betrayal is an infidelity, one born of envy or, most significantly, betrayal of oneself.
Instructor: Julie Bondanza, Ph.D.
Tuesday, July 15
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
When Darkness Falls:
The Anatomy of Psychosis
The psyche is sturdy, resilient and creative, except when it is fragile, splintered and profoundly barren of light and hope. Psychosis attacks the integrity of the personality like a splitting tool driven into a piece of wood tears the fibers apart and leaves a deep division where there had been a seeming unity. Psychosis is dark and destructive of soul, except when it comes as a perverse invitation by the gods to a new mode of being. We will explore both wings of this archetypal polarity.
Instructor: Alden Josey, Ph.D.
Wednesday, July 16
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
Encounters with Monsters:
Images of Trauma in the Psyche
The secret story is often unresolved trauma, which may appear in dreams as images of strange or monstrous creatures alive with meaning and feeling. Mutants, aliens and insects are some of the secret creatures that live inside and rampage around in the psyche wreaking havoc as “symptoms” until they are met and suffered into consciousness. Some of these monsters live primarily in the personal unconscious, and others are powerfully fueled by energy from the collective unconscious. How can they be engaged and humanized? Both a healing relationship with another and an archetypal perspective are required to integrate monstrous affects and facilitate greater freedom to live into wholeness.
Through theory, fairy tales, film, and case material we will discover how psyche’s darkest creatures can open a road to healing and transformation. This didactic and experiential workshop is intended for anyone who wishes to develop a deeper and symbolic understanding of trauma.
Instructors: Lisa Marchiano, LCSW, NCPsyA and Deborah Stewart, LCSW-R, PsyA
Thursday, July 17
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
Wounded Narcissism, Evil, and Self-knowledge
Narcissistic personality disorder is an extreme condition caused by severe early injury to healthy self-love or self-esteem. Less severe narcissistic injury is ubiquitous. It may hurt our relationships, our creativity or our career success, and may steal our pleasure at our achievements and our good fortune.
If we are not responsible for our own injured narcissism, the result is evil. Hence Jahweh inflicts evil when his pride is offended. We will explore injured narcissism in Virginia Wolf’s fiction and in a Polynesian story of cannibalism. By what force can we withstand narcissistic attacks? Can we face our own narcissistic injury?
Instructor: Maxson McDowell, Ph.D.
Friday, July 18
10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2:30 to 5 p.m.
