SATURDAY AM : The Interpretation of Fairytales
Von Franz’s expertise in fairytales is unmatched in the Jungian world. She spent much of her
lifetime exploring thousands of fairytales, myths and legends. Over her illustrious career, she
was able to concretize a set of steps of how to approach and interpret these tales. Join us as
we look at her 8 steps in interpreting fairytales as well as her concepts of integrating typology,
the lazy hero, finding a personal myth, and the circumambulation of the Self.
SATURDAY PM The Mystery of Death: Constructing the
Diamond Body to Withstand Eternity.
Without question, von Franz had a strong belief in the afterlife. She worked with hundreds of
dreams of those in the process of dying and used them as glimpses into death and what
happens to the soul after death. She discovered clear patterns and concluded that one brings
into the afterlife only those elements they were able to make conscious over their lifetime. She
saw one’s diamond body or subtle body as an indestructible soul-body that survives the fire of
death. She even describes the “physics of death” in her work on supra-luminal frequencies and
how we pass through these initially at birth, and again at death. Join us as we explore the
profound mysteries of death and the afterlife.
