The task of creative work entails weaving \u2018something new and wonderful out of the tattered threads of culture and convention.\u2019\u00a0(3)<\/sup>\u00a0Inanna, paradoxical goddess of ancient Sumeria, has been making her appearance in the dreams of contemporary women. She mirrors the nature of human beings, the dualities within: \u2018love\/hate, compassion\/indifference. She shows our oppositions in sharp relief\u2026 Wholeheartedly a goddess of war and destruction, she is equally a goddess of love.\u2019\u00a0(1)<\/sup><\/p>\n

In this seminar, Renee Ramsden will reflect on what Inanna teaches us about what it means to be human, and on Jung\u2019s prophecy of the birth of the new god \u2013 and wondering if this new god is not perhaps a rebirth of this ancient goddess.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Bion stated: \u201cPsychoanalysis itself is just a stripe on the coat of the tiger. Ultimately it may meet the Tiger \u2013 the Thing Itself \u2013 O\u201d. Psychoanalysis has historically viewed mystical and meditative states of consciousness as regressive, defensive or frankly pathological. An emerging group has embraced and explored mystical experiences while retaining the profound value of psychoanalysis. The presentation will explore the contributions of Bion, Eigen and Grotstein and show how they have navigated the interface between the two realms. We will attempt to go beyond the familiar understanding of ego strength versus ego transcendence, and spiritual bypassing. In fact, profound meditative experience far from \u201cbypassing\u201d psychodynamic issues may in fact evoke primitive, pre-conceptual experience. This needs to be handled with nuance and sensitivity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \"Astrological<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    A birth chart is a profound synchronicity between the moment of birth and the unique formation of the observable cosmos at that time, with every chart as different as fingerprints. Carl Jung observed that the astrological horoscope corresponds to \u201ca definite moment in the colloquy of the gods\u201d; a symbolic portrayal of universal principles, the archetypes, as they were also personified by the gods and goddesses of ancient myth. Much of Jung\u2019s work grew out of studies of ancient texts, such as the Hermetica treatises, that explore astrology, medicine, pharmacology, alchemy, and magic. These date as far back as the second or third century BCE.<\/p>\n

    The familiar phrase \u201cAs above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul\u2026\u201d \u2013 attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth) \u2013 comes from the second verse of the Hermetic Emerald Tablet. It alludes to the effects of celestial mechanics upon terrestrial events including not only the effects of the Sun upon the change of seasons, or those of the Moon upon the tides, but also structural similarities (or \u2018correspondences\u2019) between the macrocosm (from Greek makros kosmos, \u201cthe great world\u201d; the universe as a whole, understood as a great living being) and the microcosm (from Greek mikrons kosmos, \u201cthe small world\u201d; the human being, understood as a miniature universe).<\/p>\n

    Thus, the heavens were viewed as a symbolic reflection of Divine guidance towards gaining insight into the human psyche in relationship to the deeper mysteries of the universe. The moment of birth, as represented in the Western astrological wheel, is a mandala encompassing the whole, the Self, and gives clues to the individual\u2019s unique work towards integration and individuation. These concepts and correspondences are discussed during this presentation.<\/p>\n

    What are the lies we tell ourselves? That our childhood was just fine\u2026 well maybe not totally fine, but \u201calright\u201d? To acknowledge the trauma inflicted on our trapped, helpless, younger selves takes enormous courage. We fear what we may discover \u2013 and go to great lengths to avoid our unprocessed trauma.<\/p>\n

    In this seminar, John Gosling will present the myth of the Wounded Healer (Chiron in Greek mythology). Chiron has become a symbol of the transformative power of suffering and the capacity to empathize deeply with others\u2019 pain. He will discuss how our willingness to suffer the traumas inflicted on us can initiate us into our individuation process and our deep humanity.<\/p>\n

    He will explore the consequences of our unprocessed trauma and how it may influence every facet of our lives; and offer a group experiential experience of processing a recent trauma as an example of one of the ways of reducing the impact of trauma in our psyches.<\/p>\n

    \"Looking<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Jung\u2019s archetypal theory postulates that archetypal images are derived from more basic underlying structures which he called the \u201carchetype an sich\u201d or \u201carchetype as such\u201d. These structures, or rather organizing principles are, according to Jung, latent and only become manifest and knowable when they give rise to archetypal images in the human psyche.<\/p>\n

    In this seminar I am going to suggest that these basic organizing principles, the archetypes as such, might be understood as a tendency to promote homeostasis\/predictability and alternatively a tendency towards dissolution\/unpredictability and transformation. Peter Hodson suggests that all archetypal images can be thought of in terms of their homeostatic or transformative character or as a combination of the two.<\/p>\n

    He will discuss how these ideas have been informed by recent developments in neuroscience and consciousness studies, and how they find a rich resonance Jungian thought. These archetypal principles of homeostasis\/transformation, have always been fundamental to self-organizing systems both animate and inanimate and predate human consciousness. However, with its emergence, they have become visible and symbolically represented in the mythopoetic creations of the human psyche and the psychic life of the individual. He will illustrate this with reference to Joseph Campbell\u2019s myth of the Hero\u2019s Journey and case material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
