How Jungian Archetypes Can Help You Identify a Fulfilling Career So You Create a Career You Love: Wednesday, 4/6; 6-7:30PM; teleconference; free; to register and get call-in information, call Cornelia Ward (802) 864-2978

In this teleconference we’ll be talking about what Jungian archetypes are; how they can help you to live more joyfully, in both your personal and professional life; how to identify what your Jungian archetypes are, and more. Led by Cornelia Ward, a career and business mentor who helps people make a transition to a career or business that really lights them up so they are excited to get back to work on Mondays; see her Web site: www.LifePurposeStrategySession.com

 

Women’s Herstory: 4/7; 7-9PM; 55 Clover Lane, Waterbury VT; $20 for remaining two sessions; to register and get the reading materials, call Sue (802) 244-7909

Our final sessions bring our “herstory” up to the present, with examination of the final push for women’s suffrage, the World War II years and the backlash of the 1950’s, the “second wave” of feminism in the 1960’s and 1970’s, and the backlash of the 1980’s, and an examination of the current state of feminism in the 21st century. Led by Sue Mehrtens

 

Dream Analysis via Jung’s Own Seminar: Wednesdays, 4/13,20,27, 5/4; 7-9PM; 55 Clover Lane, Waterbury VT; $60; to register, call Sue (802) 244-7909

Over three years, 1928-1930, Jung gave a seminar to his students on dream analysis. This course draws on the notes his students took, which reveals for modern students many of Jung’s own guidelines and techniques. A useful course for both beginner and advanced students of dream work. Led by Sue Mehrtens

 

The Hero’s Journey: Discovering Your Self-Worth: Saturday, 4/16; 11AM-3PM; River Arts, 32 Richmond St, Morrisville; $45 (includes art materials and snacks; bring a bag lunch); to register, call Sara (802) 888-3802

Do you have a verse humming in your psyche that goes like this: “You’re not enough, you’re never enough, you’ll never be good enough?” Discovering your self-worth can change your tune. Using creativity, play, journaling, active meditation and reflection, we will set off on what Joseph Campbell refers to as the Hero’s Journey, to discover who we are and what we value in ourselves. Through this process of self-discovery, we can realize our true worth and not search for it in all the wrong places. No one will have power over us and we will have nothing to prove. By cultivating self-respect, we can then be able to cherish, honor and delight in our true Self! Led by Sara Waskuch, consultant, creative thinker and life-long student.

 

Happy Spring!

Sue
