The Wisdom of von Franz: And the Sages and Dreamers Who Came Before<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/strong>A meaningful life is one lived in relationship to the Self. Here, we explore the archetypal nature of life, love, and transitions through the eternal stories etched into our souls\u2014stories told time and time again across cultures and generations. While this course focuses on the artistry of understanding the archetypal dimensions of stories and fairy tales, it is essential to begin with a prelude regarding the deep reverence for the interior life and the symbolic language necessary to truly appreciate the profundity of these messages.<\/p>\n

Dr. Conforti speaks to this when he writes:<\/p>\n

*\u201cA first intimation of this process often happens when we are alone at night. Is the night a reminder that the days have now grown shorter, and there is less time to accomplish all that we have hoped to in this life? There is also a beauty and solitude that one finds in the dark. Often, we find a sense of peace in the silence, when the traffic and commerce of the day have ended, and homes and lives are illuminated by the glow of a gentle night. Then, too, there is the silence that allows internal voices, which have been drowned out during the day, to now be heard. What questions might they be asking? What are we now called to do\u2026?
\nIn this Silence, we find an intimation of another way of life, where we face our innermost thoughts, hopes, fears, and desires without illusions or distractions. We can then ask our heart and soul if this has been a good life, and what we can do to deepen our relationship to Psyche and soul. In these nocturnal moments, the time of veritas, we have to ask if we have the courage to live into our destiny.\u201d*\u00b9<\/p>\n

These words capture a reverence for, and a welcoming of, Psyche\u2019s voice. Dr. Rosaly Roffman reminds us that \u201cmythology is the story of humanity\u2019s relationships to the divine\u201d, while Marie-Louise von Franz offers a profound understanding of the archetypal stories that continue to shape humanity. This is Psyche\u2019s voice revealed through fairy tales\u2014through stories of kings and queens, of loving and wicked mothers and fathers, and through the familiar motifs of the journey: leaving home, losing one\u2019s way, and discovering life\u2019s treasure.<\/p>\n

The objective truth in these messages brings us to our knees in reverence for the unimaginable depth, wisdom, and\u2014at times\u2014the terror of facing the consequences of a life lived either in relationship with, or estranged from, the soul.<\/p>\n

In this course, students will learn the art, love, and discipline of working with archetypal stories\u2014stories whose profound meanings may reawaken a passion for these seminal narratives, reminding us that \u201conce upon a time, in a land far, far away\u201d is not merely a distant fairytale, but is alive here and now within our own psyches.
