C.G Jung: Face to Face with Christianity


In this lecture, built on the new book C.G Jung: Face to Face with Christianity - Conversations on Dreaming the Myth Onward, it’s author Jungian analyst Jakob Lusensky, examines Jung’s wrestle with Christianity. A wrestle that forms the experiential matrix of Jung’s psychology, offers a key to a richer understanding of his ideas and concepts and stimulate questions of Christianity’s role in today’s world. This lecture will cover:

  • An introduction to Jung’s personal experience of religion in childhood and adolescence and how it formed his attitude to the Christian tradition.

  • Jung’s turn from east to west and his own spiritual tradition in midlife

  • The repressive elements of ecclesiastical Christianity on the human psyche

  • The concept of Imitatio Christi and how it relates to individuation

  • Dreaming the myth onward, Jung’s late dream of a reformed Christianity for healing the relationship between the individual and the collective

The lecture will be followed by a Q&A and discussion. The book can be ordered on Chiron Publications website and Amazon.

some of the most vital conversations in the field of Jungian psychology today.
It is exciting to have many of these conversations given new life through this book."

EROS:

LOVE, PASSION AND TRANSFORMATION

with Jungian Analyst David Pressault

 
 

In previous centuries, the institutions of church and marriage kept Eros in check. Today, Eros is on the loose and we have to learn new ways to live with the ambiguous nature of this young primordial God.

In our digital age, intimate relationships are disposable, especially when they don't correspond to our conscious agenda. Meanwhile, passion and sexual bliss are the commonest of reveries. We entertain fantasies of polyamory while unaware of what unconsciously might be lying in the shadows. Much in our time attests to an immature relationship to Eros.

The experience of passion is a fundamental need but we dread the vulnerability that intimacy demands and the intensity of feelings that Eros brings with it.  Perhaps what we fear most is the transformative aspect of Eros. 

Do we secretly want to be taken to Hades's underworld? Do we also fear the descent? Like Persephone do we fear the separation from mother? If we forfeit making the descent have we really kept Eros's transformative powers at bay?

In this seminar series, we will envision a life where Eros matures and so deepens our intimate lives. Also, we’ll take a critical look at the sociological conditioning which affects how we love. This will help us to better navigate the unavoidable sufferings and blessings we experience in love.

Eros is not form-giving but form-fulfilling;
it is the wine that will be poured into the vessel;
it is not the bed and direction of the stream
but the impetuous water flowing in it.

THE DREAMING WAY

courting the wisdom of dream

with author TOKO-PA TURNER





Friday Dec. 6th, 2024

11 am - 12:30 pm Pacific / 2-3:30pm Eastern

There is a new world waiting to be realized through each of our lives, one individual at a time. In this talk, Toko-pa introduces her revelatory new book The Dreaming Way. With a unique blend of Sufism, animism, and a Jungian approach to dreams, Toko-pa invites us into the world behind this one. She asks us to consider Sophia - the feminine personification of Wisdom - as a way of naming the animating force behind all of life. By following Sophia’s guidance, in the symbols and patterns of our own dreams, we are brought into deeper accordance with the course of nature. Not only does this put us onto the path of personal purpose, but that purpose is relational. Following the Dreaming Way we develop the aptitudes needed to navigate the social, psychological, and ecological challenges of our time.

Reviews of The DREAMING WAY:

“Toko-pa Turner is a remarkable emissary building subtle bridges between the daily world and the realm of dreams and great imagination. At a time when we need both inspiration and wisdom, The Dreaming Way offers both practical and profound ways to be more visionary and more intimately connected to the living web of life.” 

MICHAEL MEADE
Author of Awakening the Soul

This is a truly wonderful, wisdom-filled book. Toko-pa Turner has fulfilled her mission of bringing dreaming back to the people who, in our rational culture, have been deprived of its blessing. She puts us in touch with a forgotten friend and teacher called Wisdom, once known to shamans of every culture. The book is exquisitely written, illustrated by remarkable and revelatory dreams. I cannot recommend it more highly. Make time to read and assimilate its beauty, its poetry, and its many gifts.”

ANNE BARING, Ph.D.
Author of The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul

“Toko-pa takes us into the living landscape of our dreaming self. She reconnects us to our nighttime twin, which has the guidance and wisdom we so desperately need if we are to heal our broken world. Allow her words to return you to this numinous, symbolic realm and its patterns of connection that can nourish us in hidden ways, where the Earth and our own body sing together.”

LLEWELLYN VAUGHAN-LEE, Ph.D.
Sufi teacher and author, Sufism: the Transformation of the Heart

The Dreaming Way explores the gift of dreaming in a helpful and articulate way toward a more thoughtful conduct of life.”

Jung and the Mythology of STAR WARS

with Steve Ellerhoff, Ph.D.

THURSDAYS
January 2, 7, 14, 21 & 28, 2025

 
 
 

What makes Star Wars a living mythology?

Many plainly recognize it as such, but this course will help us qualify that appraisal. Leapfrogging past Joseph Campbell’s well-documented influence on the saga, we turn to Jung—who gave Campbell his best hunches—to measure its viability as a mythology in direct relationship to psyche.

This seminar series will explore subjects in Steve’s forthcoming book, Jung and the Mythology of Star Wars. Together we will become better acquainted with some of Jung’s key concepts while exploring the mythic energy at the heart of the Star Wars saga.

We will delve into why it makes sense to see Star Wars through Jungian perspectives and compare, for example, the mythical Force to specific Jungian concepts: the unconscious, the godhead, the numinosum, the unus mundus, libido, and mana/mana personalities.

Come take a ride in the field of mythic storytelling, its boundaries reach far, far beyond our galaxy.

How is Return of the Jedi’s second Death Star, often bemoaned as a failure in Lucasfilm’s storytelling imagination, a mythologically sound illustration of senex thinking?

The Symbolic Language of the Unconscious:

VISIONS FROM BELOW

with artist and educator Chantal Powell, Ph.D.

Humanity’s “ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.”
– Paul Tillich

 

Night Journey (2020) by Chantal Powell

 
 

Le Seize Septembre, by René Magritte, oil on canvas, 1956

Wisdom, according to Carl Jung, is a return to the symbols which are inborn in us from the earliest times. He was referring to the unique language of the unconscious and how essential it is that we live a sacred life in harmony with it. In this five-week course we will be diving into the watery depths of archetypal symbols and motifs.

We will visit ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology, immerse ourselves in mysterious alchemical imagery and familiar fairytales, reflect on what dreams and daily ritual can offer us and explore our psychic imagination. We will also look at contemporary visual art as a powerful tool for experiencing the transformative energy of the unconscious and how it can give visible form to mystery.

This course is for anyone looking for a greater understanding of symbolic language and is particularly suited to creatives and those new to Jungian thinking.

CHANTAL POWELL, PH. D.

Chantal Powell is an UK-based artist, educator and curator. Her art practice explores the symbolic language of the unconscious and is informed by a PhD in social psychology and an ongoing study of Jungian theory and inner alchemy.

Over recent years she has been researching first-hand the imagery in alchemical manuscripts and notebooks from the 15th and 16th century. Combining archetypal symbols from these sources alongside those from mythology and personal inner work, she makes art that brings awareness to the importance of energy-filled symbols to connect us to a world beyond that of the rational conscious.

Chantal is also the founder of the artist residency program Hogchester Arts in West Dorset and hosts the speaker program "The Red Book Club". She presents illustrated talks and workshops on psychological alchemy from an artist’s perspective and has co-curated exhibitions with a focus on archetypally symbolic art.

Mariana then integrated her scholarship into her developing expertise in the tarot and formulated an approach she calls Archetypal Tarot. She teaches this approach, which marries Jungian concepts with the symbolic depth of the tarot, in the well-received Archetypal Tarot School. Mariana also holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Hunter College, and is a published lyricist and poet. Learn more about Mariana at: https://persephonessister.com/

 


 

FEBRUARY-MARCH 2025

The Archetypal
VENUS

with writer and educator Béa Gonzalez

 
 

Relationship, values, beauty, harmony. These words have been connected archetypally to the planet Venus since the Sumerian high priestess Enheduanna wrote the hymn “The Exaltation of Inanna in 2300 BCE. The planet's symbolic meanings are rooted in its 8-year synodic cycle, during which Venus appears to return to the same celestial position from Earth's perspective, with a slight 2-degree shift. The pentagram, golden mean, and Fibonacci sequence are all encoded in that cycle (see center image). 

Venus's mythology has evolved significantly over time, beginning with Inanna's descent into the underworld in Sumerian lore, transforming through classical Greek interpretations, influencing medieval troubadour traditions, and continuing to evolve in modern times. Recent astronomical developments, such as Pluto's discovery and subsequent demotion in 2005 following Eris's identification, have further reshaped our understanding of the theme of descent that is central to the archetype.  This course will examine Venus through multiple lenses: astronomical, mythological, and literary. We'll use the theme of descent as a guiding principle to explore the planet's multifaceted significance across different cultures and epochs.

The Father Complex and The Individuation Quest

with Jungian Analyst ELISABETH POMÈS

 

JOIN JUNGIAN ANALYST ELISABETH POMÈS FOR A THREE WEEK EXPLORATION OF FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS: THE FATHER COMPLEX AND the daughter’s INDIVIDUATION QUEST

In the fairy tales “Beauty and the Beast,” “Donkey Skin,” and “The Courageous Girl,” the father’s actions have important consequences for his daughter's destiny. Each seminar will explore the impact of the father’s actions on the Path of Individuation of the daughter.

In “Beauty and the Beast,” the father gets lost in the forest. He suddenly sees a seemingly uninhabited mansion and enters, but it is the castle of the Beast. Wanting to please Belle, his daughter, the father plucks a rose. This rose is the dearest thing the Beast has in the world. In exchange for the father's freedom, the Beast demands that Belle come and live with him.

In “Donkey Skin,” the father wants to marry his daughter. Desperate, she escapes, hidden under the skin of the castle donkey.

In “The Courageous Girl,” a tale from Tadzhikistan, the father is sick and getting blind. His daughter goes off on a perilous journey in search of medicine that will help him regain his health, see again and value the Feminine.

Archetype

& the FiVE BUDDHA FAMILIES

INSIGHTS INTO PERSONALITY
FROM THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS

thursdays beginning february 20, 2025

with author Gary S. Bobroff, M.A.

 

This seminar advances Toni Wolff’s original insights into personality. Antonia “Toni” Wolff is one of the founders of Jungian psychology and her Structural Forms of the Feminine Psyche is root of this work. Her approach was furthered by Tad Guzie and Noreen Monroe Guzie in their book About Men and Women. Stunningly Toni’s model is paralleled in the Tibetan Five Buddha Families tradition as described by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. You can watch Gary’s presentation on the overlap of these systems here.

Synchronicity
and the Goddess
of Meaning

with Cynthia Cavalli, Ph.D. and Gary S. Bobroff, M.A.

 
 
 

SYNCHRONICITY
AND THE GODDESS OF MEANING

Jung's recognition of the phenomenon of synchronicity leads us towards an astoundingly deeper view of our world.  To sit with the reality of a meaningful event when it hits us is to begin to be led toward a healing experience with the numinous.

In this course, Gary S. Bobroff and Cynthia Cavalli will explore how best to unfold synchronistic experiences, how to observe our over-rationalistic ego objections to their validity and illustrate the difference between a thinking and feeling reception of them.

Held with a view for story and symbol and an appreciation for the special power that authenticity confers, we see a world creating grace and healing; a view shared by the mystics, the alchemists, the Taoists and many indigenous cultures today. If we can overcome the reductionstic worldview of our culture, synchronicity offers the revelation of a world in which meaning is woven into Nature.


We'll look at the history of the modern approach to the phenomenon: including Jung's coining of the term and his pioneering work with physicists Pauli and Einstein. We will introduce our definitions of the archetypal Feminine and Masculine and how they unconsciously influence our worldviews and attitude towards life.

Cynthia will share her understanding of meaning as a feminine principle of organization / order. We’ll explore the scientific evidence for the reality of the psyche as a FIELD phenomenon. We’ll look at the importance of grace and the stories we tell and how very often what seems to be sought is a change in our attitude. You’ll be invited to create a milestone chart of symbolic events in your life.

How can we better house within us the meaning that these events bring? Is every synchronicity a positive indicator? How do we as individuals and collectives get caught up in the shadow numinous? Cynthia will share key themes in life-changing synchronicities and we will consider the role of the numinous in transformation and healing. Finally, we’ll explore the Goddess of Meaning and idea of the Tao as Mother of all things.


“The realization of ‘meaning’ is a living experience that touches the heart just as much as the mind . . . an illumination characterized by great clarity as well as something ineffable – a lightning flash . . . a “quantum leap” in the psyche [it] links us with the numinous – the meaning of the Whole, the Tao [and] puts us once again in our proper place in the Whole.”

– Marie-Louise von Franz

An Exploration Into

The Symbolic Language Of Dreams

with Jungian Analyst David Pressault

VIDEO SEMINAR SERIES

 
 

Henri Rousseau, The Sleeping Gypsy, 1897

Dreams speak to us at night and shed light on what we miss and can’t see during the day. In the morning, its language escapes us and so often we lose the thread that was so clear the night before, we forget. Although elusive and enigmatic, if you learn to listen you will find that, dreams speak of what is kept most secret and intimate about who we are. In working with the unconscious, we come to find that dreams are the royal road to soul.


Video One: INTRODUCTION TO C.G. JUNG’S APPROACH TO DREAMS

This session introduces C.G. Jung’s approach toward analyzing dreams and explores their compensatory function in our psyche.

1. Dreams and their function in the psyche

2. From subjective to collective: Types of dreams

3. Connecting the dots: Dream analysis through associations

ALCHEMY, INDIVIDUATION AND TRANSFORMATION

with Jason E. Smith, IAAP


VIDEO SEMINAR SERIES

8 sessions, 15+ hours

Edward F. Edinger, Author

Available now

The understanding and interpretation of alchemy holds a central place in the writings of C.G. Jung. In its unique, and often bizarre, imagery, Jung found a symbolic language that reflected the activity of the psyche. His work on the psychological dimensions of alchemy, however, can be dense and difficult reading. Edward Edinger’s classic book Anatomy of the Psyche does a great job of bringing clarity and understanding to this area of Jung’s writings and to his essential insights into the symbolism of alchemy.

In this class we will read through Anatomy of the Psyche together. Using Edinger’s text as our guide, we will explore the challenging, but immensely rich subject of alchemy and its psychological meaning. We will discover the relationship between alchemical symbolism and dream imagery, discuss the relevance of alchemy to Jung’s concept of individuation, and understand how the operations of the alchemical opus translate into a contemporary spiritual or psychological practice.

An Introduction to Alchemical Psychology

with author Thom F. Cavalli, Ph.D.

VIDEO SEMINAR SERIES

6 Sessions
9+ Hours

Alchemy has become a buzzword in today’s world. Unfortunately, the more it’s used, the more it muddles the exceptional nature of this Royal Art and its secrets for living a genuine and meaningful life.  In this new series, we use the term in its original meaning, as a way of quickening and catalyzing our individual growth in all aspects of mind, body, and spirit. The concepts presented grew out of the work of C. G. Jung and provide us with an extraordinary framework to help us navigate the challenging and unprecedented dynamics of modern life. 

This six-part series focuses on transforming our dark, hidden potential into a perfected personality – the full and unique expression of who we are meant to be. We do this by employing the stages, recipes, and operations of alchemy as well as tapping into our inner resources, including dreams, synchronicities, and the archetypal gods. We’ll do a deep dive into ancient Egyptian as well as modern forms of alchemy, tracing the development of personal and collective consciousness from magic to contemporary science. By harnessing the power of alchemy, we create extraordinary, personalized maps and tools to facilitate our unique individuation journey.  The history of our future self is about rebuilding an enchanted world that returns the animating soul into our busy lives.

This course is design for people who are just delving into psychological alchemy, or who have some knowledge of Jungian psychology and want to deepen their understanding of alchemy and the individuation process.

Baba Yaga:

ONCE THERE WERE OLD WOMEN

with Jungian Analyst Muriel McMahon

“Bone by bone, hair by hair, Wild Woman comes back. Through night dreams, through events half understood and half-remembered, Wild Woman comes back. She comes back through story.”

– Clarissa Pinkola Estés

 

We herald the return of the feminine as the antidote to balance what has been damaged in the West by too much masculine. In modern men and women, the hero’s quest has dominated our consciousness and the maiden’s quest has been largely ignored. That being said, anything that has been denied, repressed, or disavowed, rarely returns intact. A feral animal is infinitely more dangerous than a wild or tame beast. Let us not be naïve. When She returns, her rage and her wrath must be calibrated with consciousness.

Join Jungian analyst and Keeper of the Stories, Muriel McMahon as we explore the archetype of the Crone. Figured as ‘Baba Yaga’ in Slavic tales, and deformed into a ‘Witch’ in more Eurocentric tales, this ambiguous figure of the feminine at the crossroads must be understood or else we be devoured by her. We must learn how to look her in the face, tend to her wounds, and remind her and us that the feminine in women and in men is a fierce energy that is rightly both feared and revered.

Through a Jungian archetypal lens, we will address the following:

  1. Acquaint ourselves with Jung’s essays: The Dissociability of the Psyche (CW8~365) and The Psychological Foundation for a Belief in Spirits (CW8~570).

  2. Learn and practice a formula for Archetypal Fairy Tale Analysis

  3. Discover an orientation to the archetypal figure of Baba Yaga

  4. Recognize the distortion of the wise woman in our western culture

  5. Prepare consciously for the re-emergence of the feminine in both men and women

Creativity, Freedom & Our Parental Complexes

with Jungian Analyst David Pressault

Jean-Paul Sartre’s striking remark about the French nation when he said in an interview for the Atlantic in 1944 ‘Never were we freer than under the German occupation’ was cleverly used by philosopher Julian Baggini in a thought provoking article in which he adds :

“Sartre’s core insight was that it is only when we are physically stopped from acting that we fully realise the true extent and nature of our freedom. If he (Sartre) is right, then the pandemic is an opportunity to relearn what it means to be free.”

In these times of imposed seclusion, it’s difficult to find a sense of freedom. Trying to move freely is filled with obstacles, limitations and impositions. However, when it comes to the imagination and much of Jung's work on cultivating an inner life, an impaired outer freedom can be fertile ground for the creative impulse. This said, the freedom to create seems to be a minefield of complexes, especially, parental complexes. We will look at this particularity of the parental complexes and inquire how and why they seem to wait around the corner and get in the way when we are about to be creative or free.  

Video Seminar with Jungian Analyst David Pressault

In this 120 minute video seminar, David shows how our freedoms lost connected not only to the pandemic but also to our parental complexes - includes a presentation and Q&A with audience.

Jung’s Relationship to Astrology

JA Icon jpg.jpg

 

In recent years, new scholarship has been emerging demonstrating the essential role the discipline of astrology played in the development and practice of C. G. Jung’s analytical psychology. In 1911, Jung wrote a letter to Freud in which he said that his nights were occupied with the study of astrology, to which Freud responded that Jung would be “accused of mysticism.” Jung kept his practice of astrology relatively concealed, but based upon evidence in his own writings, as well as statements he made late in his life, Jung was drawing on astrological wisdom regularly for both personal use and with his patients. 

Becca 2.jpg

This presentation will demonstrate the role astrology played in Jung’s analytic practice, as well as the significant ways in which he drew on astrological symbolism in the transformative process of creating The Red Book. By understanding how astrology influenced the development of Jungian psychology—and how depth psychology has subsequently shaped modern astrology—we can see how the astrological discipline can complement, enhance, and deepen the psychotherapy practiced today.

Becca Tarnas, PhD, is a scholar, artist, and editor of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology. She received her doctorate in Philosophy and Religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), with her dissertation titled The Back of Beyond: The Red Books of C. G. Jung and J. R. R. Tolkien. Her research interests include depth psychology, literature, philosophy, and the ecological imagination. She teaches at both Pacifica Graduate Institute and CIIS, and is the author of the book Journey to the Imaginal Realm: A Reader’s Guide to J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Becca lives in Northern California, where she has an astrological counseling practice.

SYNCHRONICITY
&
RE-ENCHANTMENT

WITH DR. JOE CAMBRAY, IAAP

 

One way in which depth psychology can contribute to collective transformation in the 21st century is by helping us to move beyond the disenchanted worldview. This disenchantment arose out of our cultural monomyth of rational science being redemptive, which began with the Enlightenment.  With this in mind, we can understand Jung’s experiences during his Red Book period as amply demonstrating his efforts, conscious and unconscious, to re-spiritualize the world

In this presentation, we will look at how the concepts of individuation, synchronicity and the psychoid aspects of the archetypes entered Jung’s formulations of the psyche and nature.  Following upon this, we will reexamine these ideas in terms of complexity theory which offers tools to help us envision a re-enchanted world. These tools will help us listen to synchronistic attunements linked to ecological awareness along with opening the psychoid imagination to help us better detect and understand our relationship with the universe.

Our conversation will begin with a look at the key turning points in Jung’s creativity life as explored in Sparks’ new book The Call of Destiny: An Introduction to Carl Jung’s Major Works (2023). From there we will explore the matter and spirit issue as reflected on by Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz. We will look at the areas of accomplishment and research that his recognition of the link between spirit and matter has opened up.  These include synchronicity, psychosomatic medicine, the social function of dreams in a community, the prognostic capacity of dreams, his dialogues with Nobel laureate Wolfgang Pauli, the archetypal foundation of science (and why we should care), as well as the general theme of the convergence of Jungian psychology and quantum mechanics.

“The spirit and matter issue is something we are all being called to face. The task of our time is to make life in time and space, the relationship to physical events in life, the sacred altar of being.” 
– J. Gary Sparks

CIRCUMAMBULATING

The Self

with Jungian analyst and author Jason E. Smith

“I began to understand that the goal
of psychic development is the self.
There is no linear evolution; there is
only a circumambulation of the self.”

C.G. Jung,
Memories, Dreams, Reflections

 
 

Program Description: 

The Self is the central concept of Jung’s psychology. It can also be one of the most difficult concepts to grasp. This is because the Self, as the experience of wholeness, embraces both consciousness and the unconscious. There will always be something of this aspect of the psyche that will elude our understanding. As Edward Edinger writes, “All that can be done is to approach it from various angles and get little pieces of its meaning.”

Through the use of both image and idea, this workshop will begin to make such an approach to the archetype of the Self. Together we will examine several statements made by Jung and others describing the nature of the Self and its various attributes. We will discuss the implications of these statements as we circumambulate this important concept. The goal of this workshop will not be so much to gain a better understanding of the concept of the Self, but rather a more complete experience of it and the ways that it manifests in both the analytic situation and in everyday life.

In his recent exhibits Self-Summoning (shadow work) and Shadow Work (chapters) (both 2022), Lehmann Maupin artist Dominic Chambers’ work pours color into the Jungian concept of the Shadow. He shares how working with Carl Jung’s theory of shadow was revelatory for his artwork. 

We are pleased to present Dominic in conversation with artist and JUNG Archademy faculty Chantal Powell for a special event Saturday Jan. 20, 2024.

Dominic sees the Shadow as an enduring presence to be encountered, “It’s always there. The shadow manifests when a light source hits it”.  He will be discussing his use of color and light in depicting the shadow, and the power of art to give expression to unconscious processes.

“Shadow working is essentially when you do some introspective work to uncover parts of your identity or your personality you have potentially neglected or not addressed, but effect your personality and your life. So you have to go back and uncover what has happened to you, relationships with people and environments, and to re-contextualize those things and to revise them in a way that’s suitable for your life today.”

Chambers, interview with ArtNet: Painter Dominic Chambers on How Jungian Theory Shaped His Art, and the Transformational Role of Therapy in His Own Life

Transferring his personal learnings within Jungian therapy, his recent paintings point to the importance of looking inward and the transformative power of the imagination.

“In Chambers’s vivid paintings figures rest, read, and reflect in quiet peaceful settings straddling real and imaginary worlds. The bucolic landscapes are at once familiar and nostalgic, yet magical in their tonality. The rainbow-colored ghostly silhouettes in To encounter a shadow (2022) and Self-Summoning (shadow work) showcase Chambers’s connection to spirituality and self-actualization. A strong sense of vulnerability provides moments of respite and empathy for the viewer.”  –  Folasade Ologundudu for Art Seen - Dominic Chambers: Soft Shadows

IN CONVERSATION

with

Chantal Powell, Ph.D.

x min

Hosted by Chantal Powell

Chantal Powell is an UK-based artist, educator and curator. Her art practice explores the symbolic language of the unconscious and is informed by a PhD in social psychology and an ongoing study of Jungian theory and inner alchemy.

Chantal is also the founder of the artist residency program Hogchester Arts in West Dorset and hosts the speaker program "The Red Book Club". She presents illustrated talks and workshops on psychological alchemy from an artist’s perspective and has co-curated exhibitions with a focus on archetypally symbolic art. 

Dominic Chambers (b. 1993 St. Louis, MO; lives and works in New Haven, CT) creates vibrant paintings that simultaneously engage art historical models, such as color-field painting and gestural abstraction, and contemporary concerns around race, identity, and the necessity for leisure and reflection. Interested in how art can function as a mode for understanding, recontextualizing, or renegotiating one’s relationship to the world, the artist sees painting as a critical and intellectual endeavour, as much as an aesthetic one. A writer himself, Chambers draws inspiration from literature, especially Magical Realism and the writing of W.E.B. Du Bois, particularly Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk, and one of its central themes―the veil. A product of racial injustice that is a metaphorical lens through which Black bodies are observed and experienced, references to the veil appear throughout the artist’s work, whether in the large swaths of color that obscure the figures in his Wash Paintings series, or in his recurring use of a raindrop motif as both an active and passive element in his paintings. Many of Chambers’ compositions incorporate Fabulist elements, including ghostly silhouettes meant to be stand-ins for the artist and surreal landscapes that feel both familiar yet unplaceable.

Chambers received his B.F.A from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Milwaukee, WI in 2016, and his M.F.A. from Yale University School of Art, New Haven, CT in 2019. Solo exhibitions of his work have been organized at The August Wilson African American Cultural Center, Pittsburgh, PA (2020); Luce Gallery, Turin, Italy (2020); The Millitzer Studio and Gallery, St. Louis, MO (2017); and the Residential Gallery, Des Moines, IA (2017).

Chambers’ work is in a number of private and public collections, such as the Green Family Foundation, Dallas, TX; Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, CA; and Pérez Art Museum Miami, Miami, FL.

This dialogue is an introduction to Dr. Stephen Aizenstat and his new book: The Imagination Matrix: How to Access the Greatest Power You Have for Creativity, Connection, and Purpose

Dr. Aizenstat is the founder of Pacifica Graduate Institute and developer of the Dream Tending approach to the psyche. He has devoted his life to meeting with the voice within. JUNG Archademy founder Gary S. Bobroff, M.A. and Irina Avdeeva M.A. co-host the dialogue and speak with him about working with dreams, hosting the imagination and more.

We explore the role of imagination in the individuation process and the importance of relating to the inner figures that guide us through this process. Drawing on his lifelong work with clients and students, Dr. Aizenstat shares insights into how our dedicated engagement with the psyche connects us with our innate genius, allowing us to realize our fullest potential and live a more authentic life. Developing our imaginative intelligence, we learn to trust our inner calling and activate the healing capacities of our psyche to achieve a more fulfilling way of being in this world.   

“The Imagination Matrix offers portals of awareness through which each reader can find their inner code of life and their living core of creative imagination. This kind of shift in consciousness impacts individuals and communities, and also affects the entire planet.”

Stephen Aizenstat, Ph.D

AUTHOR & FOUNDING PRESIDENT,
PACIFICA GRADUATE INSTITUTE

Stephen Aizenstat, PhD, is the founder of Pacifica Graduate Institute, Dream Tending, and the Academy of Imagination. He has devoted his life to understanding the profound wisdom and healing power that exist within each of us. His work centers on the insight that, through our dreams and imagination, we can access limitless creativity, innovation, improved relationships, and, ultimately, our human potential.

Such an inquiry was a driving force in his creation of Pacifica Graduate Institute, a center for the study of the human experience through depth psychology, mythology, and the humanities. Surrounded by the beauty of the natural world where the mountains meet the sea, the institute is located on two university campuses in Santa Barbara, California.

Within this setting, Aizenstat pioneered his revolutionary, patented Dream Tending approach, a proven system based on four decades of rigorous scholarship and practical application road-tested with students, clients, and global workshops. This approach led to his work on The Imagination Matrix, a new paradigm for thinking more creatively and for living more authentically. He has conducted sold-out dreamwork and imagination seminars, workshops, and popup events in the United States, Asia, and Europe.

Stephen Aizenstat, Ph.D., has served as an organizational consultant to leading tech companies, international leadership teams, and the Hollywood entertainment industry. He has also lectured extensively around the globe on the experiences of dreams, Deep Imagination, Imaginal Intelligence, and unleashing your Innate Genius. He is affiliated with the Earth Charter International project through the United Nations, where he has spoken. Professor Aizenstat has collaborated with many notable leaders in the field, including mythologist Joseph Campbell; depth psychologists James Hillman, Marion Woodman, and Robert Johnson; visionary Jean Houston; Chinese Jungian analyst and scholar Professor Heyong Shen; and Aboriginal dreamer and artist Yidumduma Bill Harvey. Dr. Aizenstat honors his associations with sustainability and seed-saving activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, Aboriginal dreamer Bill Neijdie, and community organizers Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez.

This dialogue is an introduction to Frank McMillan III and an exploration of his new paper “Whom Shall I Send? Postmodern Revelation and the New Reality in Jung”, published in Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul In the 21st Century – An Eranos Symposium Volume 5.

Frank is an award-winning author, educator, the founder of The Frank N. McMillan Jr. Institute for Jungian Studies at The Jung Center in Houston, Texas, and a board member of Pacifica Graduate Institute. JUNG Archademy founder Gary S. Bobroff, M.A. and Cynthia Cavalli, Ph.D. are happy to be co-hosting this conversation.

We’ll talk with Frank about his lifelong connection to Jung, his book Finding Jung and the important issues he brings forth in his latest paper. We’ll explore the spiritual crisis of modern humanity that Jung first brought to our attention. We’ll talk about the modern evidence for the reality of the extension of psyche in biology and quantum physics and why a purely materialist point of view is no longer sufficient. Finally, we’ll consider the importance of understanding synchronicity’s new vision of reality and why “moderns are good Freudians, but poor Jungians.”

“The most important and exceedingly difficult task of our time is to work on the construction of a new idea of reality.”
– Wolfgang Pauli

Why Am I Like This?

A JOURNEY INTO
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASTROLOGY

A Conversation with author Judy Balan

 

Balan’s new book Why Am I Like This? A Journey Into Psychological Astrology provides an excellent overview of the basic archetypal approaches to the planets and signs of astrology. This symbolic approach to self-understanding is a path that provides a middle way between the empty solely rational modern worldview and the rigidity of older dogmatic approaches.

In this conversation, we discuss how astrology provides a language for understanding our most important life experiences. Planets, aspects, signs and houses when viewed with an archetypal eye, enable us to discover ourselves as living in a meaning-filled world.

We talk about the gods as drives within us. We look at Saturn - the god of time - in our charts, Mars - the archetypal Warrior and the process of getting curious about our own patterns.


“Part memoir, part astrology, Jungian psychology and global mythology, Why Am I Like This? is an orchestral overview of the moving parts that come together to create what OG wellness influencer Carl Jung calls “wholeness”.

Wholeness, as Judy writes, “is not about becoming better or perfect, nor is it about aspiring to some collective standard of what is good, beautiful or successful. In the Jungian sense, wholeness is about becoming yourself or all that you potentially are, by facilitating a dialogue and a connection with your unconscious, and all the parts of you that are trapped in there.”

ARCHADEMY ARCHIVE:

A Jungian Investigation of the Colonial Shadow

with Kira Celeste, Ph.D.

 
 

In this presentation we will be exploring the colonial shadow and the settler psychology that has shaped what is now known as North America.

This psychology has perpetrated devastating harm over the last half a millennium and continues to oppress Indigenous people and degrade the environment. Today, it lives on in many of us. In this evening of discussion we will be using the tenet of depth psychology that stories and myths from one’s own ancestry can bring about transformation and deep changes in perspective. As such, we will investigate how an alchemical way of imagining into white settler colonial consciousness might contribute to its accountability and psychological healing today.

The Soul
&
The Sea

A conversation with author Benig Mauger

 

How does emotional healing happen? How do we resolve our heartbreak, our childhood issues, our experiences of abandonment and betrayal and recover a sense of wholeness so that we can continue to walk our spiritual path? How can we connect with the spiritual wisdom within if we have become separated from our Divine heritage rooted in our own nature?

Thirty years in the therapy room listening to fellow souls although enriching my life immeasurably, has taught me one essential truth–healing is not a matter of will, it is a matter of heart. You can tell your story over and over again and still not heal.

One day, after perhaps years in therapy sitting on the same chair week in week out, a miracle happens, a doorway opens and a great surge of love sweeps over us and we know we will never be the same again.”

You heal when your heart opens, when you surrender to a higher force and when you pray or listen to your soul. Healing can come through in a dream, in a poem or when something outside us makes an electric connection, a resonance with something deep inside us. Just as ‘the flow’ that became this book pushed its way into my consciousness mainly through my dreams, walks by the sea and periods of meditation and reflection, so too can healing come to you.


In a time of spiritual awakening, emotional healing must move beyond psychology if it is to be effective.”

Benig Mauger


Communing with nature, working with dreams, meditation and soul journeying with spiritual tools-in The Soul & the Sea, Benig Mauger interweaves depth psychology with spirituality to present a new model of healing. The Soul & The Sea takes you deep into the Sacred Feminine wisdom embodied in the earth and our own inner healing wisdom.

Inspired by the sea and land around her home, Mauger draws from her own life experiences as a Jungian therapist and spiritual teacher to illustrate how connection to nature and the spiritual world can heal emotional wounds. As both a guide and a creator of a new portal for healing, The Soul & the Sea reads like a story as it charts the journey to healing through nature and spirit while serving as a tool for emotional healing and soul growth, showing us how to connect to our inner healer.

“Man is in need of a symbolical life–badly in need. We only live banal, ordinary, rational or irrational things–but we have no symbolic life. Where do we live symbolically? Nowhere except where we participate in the ritual of life.” – C. G. Jung

Conversations In Search of Meaning

Join us for the first in our series of Jungian Roundtable discussions with authors, analysts and artists featuring:

David Tacey

Ann McCoy

Jason E. Smith

Hosted by: Gary S. Bobroff and Sheri D. Kling


“We need ecstasy, which in its Greek sense (ek-stasis) means to be outside the ego. The ego is a prison, caught in time, space and rationality. We need to leave this mental prison behind from time to time, and on a regular basis. What can get us out? Poetry, love, sex, therapy, passion, nature, ritual, ceremony, music, empathy, compassion, and ‘feeling with’ the world. All of these things Jung calls ‘religion’. Religion is anything that provides escape from egocentricity, relief from the mundane, and as such he gives a Dionysian spin to religion, that seems almost contrary to what an archbishop, for instance, might mean by this term.” David Tacey


What role does ritual play in our search for meaning?

How can ritual break us out of the mundane?

How can we find those rituals of life that will fulfilll and sustain us?
