The upgrading/updating of our site has been a huge endeavor, and, as with any technological creation, there are glitches, but, with patience and perseverance our tech team is catching and cleaning them up. We appreciate your pointing out any glitch you find, and your patience as we make this transition.

Each month we offer a "special:" a discount on one or more self-directed, distance-learning courses and/or book. Note: These are NOT "live" courses (for those see the list above); these are learning opportunities you can undertake at your leisure, any time, with audio and print materials. You access these courses on our store.

As the leaves give hints of Fall, and we celebrate the workers on Labor Day, the kids hang their heads as they head off to school. Our Jungian Center classes gear up this month also, and we suggest the "Creation of Consciousness" self-directed distance-learning course for those who want to undertake what Jung considered the most important activity human beings can do, i.e. create more consciousness.

I hope you have a wonderful month. I look forward to sharing our programs with you.

Creation of Consciousness
|
|
|
An advanced course that offers an in-depth examination of 4 key documents that explore the basis of what Jung called the “new dispensation”—the Biblical book of Job, Jung’s “Answer to Job,” William Blake’s illustrations of the Book of Job, and Edward Edinger’s The Creation of Consciousness—toward explicating Jung’s image of God and fostering an understanding of how we, as individuals, are meant to be carriers of the numinosum and co-creators with the Divine.

Working with Dreams: A Jungian Perspective
|
|
|
A short, succinct guide to Jung's way of handling dreams, including definitions of terms, useful tools, how to foster dream recall, and techniques for interpreting dreams on the three levels Jung used. Five appendices, bibliography and an extensive index make this both an indispensable primer and a handy reference work.
|
Working with Dreams: A Jungian Perspective combines the wisdom of dream master Carl Jung with the author's personal experience of
teaching dream work to hundreds of people on three continents over thirty-plus years.
|
A background section defines dreams and their features, purposes and types, followed by a discussion of the practical requirements: how to tackle insomnia, how to recall and record dreams, and the role of intentionality in this process.
|
Next is the core of the book: interpretation, which Jung admitted is a most "exacting task." Jung used many methods--from amplification to yogic techniques--to tease out a dream's messages, which can be interpreted on three levels. Helpful guidelines and questions offer ways to gain insights into the meaning of the dream.
|
A final section sets dream work in the context of daily life, with tips on how we can "actualize" a dream to maximize the psyche's contribution to our outer life reality. A short review of the dozens of ways famous people have used dreams to create, invent, win prizes and solve problems is included, along with six appendices with recipes and useful reference works.
