“Jung and the Dead – Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain” – Dr Stephani Stephens

Friday 8th October 2021 "Jung and the Dead – Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain" Dr Stephani Stephens Since the publication of Jung’s Red Book, significant amount of material on the dead has come to light and points to the possibility that when Jung referred to ‘the dead’ in his personal material he was, in fact, referring to the literal dead as a separate category of psychic experience. In this presentation, Dr. Stephens introduces material from Jung’s Memories, Dreams, Reflections, and the Red Book, to raise questions about how Jung experienced the dead during his initial encounters with his visionary material. Dr. Stephens will question some previously held assumptions about visionary encounters within the therapeutic technique known as ‘active imagination’ as well as raising the Jung’s own questions about psychological inheritance and the work we do on behalf of our ancestors. Stephani Stephens holds a PhD in Jungian Psychology from the University of Kent, Canterbury UK. She served on the Executive Committee of the International Association of Jungian Studies from 2004 to 2013. After a career of teaching Classics internationally, she currently lectures at the University of Canberra in Counselling. She is the author of C.G. Jung and the Dead: Visions, Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain. References: https://ift.tt/3n6aj6p https://ift.tt/3lMuRRS https://ift.tt/3BPdMfK
