This second course will continue to develop the comparison and elaboration of C.G. Jung as Artist of the Red Book and Jung’s Analytical Psychology in relation to but not limited to 20th Century artists and their work in search of the spiritual, or the Mysterium Coniunctionis, summarily as Jung did. See description for Part 1 for more detail.
Using the works of modern artists and writers, we will discuss the structure of the psyche as outlined in Jung’s Analytical Psychology, including the concepts of Ego, The Shadow, Anima and Animus and The Self. We will also discuss the components of the Conjunction and the meaning and functions of psychological processes of the Conscious, Unconscious and Individuation from a Jungian perspective. We will aim for a fundamental understanding of the creative process of Individuation as amplified by “The Old Wise Woman” A Study of Active Imagination with mythological parallels to what we may call the “personal myth” of the subject/artist and that of 20th Century artists. Experiential class participation will include guided Active of participants’ own dream work.
