Courses & Events

The Center’s Program

The Center offers a wide range of programs, some of which can be taken as distance learning courses from anywhere, others are on site in and around northern and central Vermont. Some courses are offered according to demand and as such are not scheduled into a fixed timetable.

The curriculum is delineated in 5 paths:

  • the path of contemplation and inner practices;
  • the path of investigation (the path which most closely resembles a college curriculum);
  • the path of creativity, drawing on a wide array of arts and crafts;
  • the path of physicality, designed to foster all forms of well-being; and the path of
  • practicality, which equips students with some of the core skills for the spiritual journey.

Note that all courses are not offered every year, and new courses are being created all the time, as student and faculty interests warrant. If you have an idea for a course that is not represented in the table, let us know: we encourage suggestions and will try to accommodate all substantive suggestions. Individual tutorials can be arranged for these courses, or for other subjects not listed here. Contact us for further information and guidance on setting up a tutorial. Fee schedules for individual tutorials are worked out between the instructor and student.

Apart from The Center’s programs the faculty are acknowledged experts in a variety of techniques and practices and their services are available to you.

Symbols & Shamans: A Jungian Perspective on Indigenous Alchemy, Thursdays, Sept. 12,19,26, & Oct. 17; 7-9PM EDT); via Zoom; $75

This Foundational Class is an introductory class and prerequisite for a multiple series to be offered by Sue & Kimia in Spring 2025.

Shamanism arose out of the Earth from the people 75,000 years ago at a time when the feminine aspect was the foundation of everything. Jung himself was considered a medicine man or shaman, or a ‘person who knows’. Shamanism is the path of direct revelation and searching for personal evidence of the divine in the waking dream while bringing to light the ego through death and rebirth and holding the tension of opposites of the unconscious (spirit realm/ non-ordinary reality) and the conscious, (ordinary reality). The path of shamanism is all about stalking and killing fear and seeing the maladaptive ego as a parasite in order to step more fully into essence. This foundational course will define symbols and shamans; describe characteristics and attributes of the shaman; and speak to how/why Jung got called a “shaman.” Co-Led by Sue Mehrtens & Kimia Maleki.

Few Westerners understand what ‘spiritual literacy’ means. We will discuss the 9 forms of spiritual literacy and how life becomes different when you are able to read and see patterns, guidance, support and help that are all around you. We will explore synchronicities, paradox, awakened awareness, blocks to becoming spiritual literate, Jungian concepts of spirituality, conscious intent and clear seeing as well as the difference between the old and new paradigms. This informational and experiential course will lead students through exercises and practices to add to your treasure trove of gifts as spiritual beings having a human experience. You will develop your perception and ability to see in a spiritual sense and have tools and exercises that will continue to support you in your inner work and soul work.

Equinox Workshop: Creating A New Personal Narrative, Sept. 22; 3-5PM (EDT); via Zoom; $49

(via Website, Venmo, PayPal or check in $US); to register, email: or www.project-alchemy.com

 Equinoxes are powerful times with potent energy to notice completions and endings. 90% of change is releasing the energy of the old narrative and fear-based underlying patterns. The universe abhors a void, and whenever you release something, either the same frequency or a new pattern will come in to fill the space. Our personal narratives are a place where we can shift our inner landscapes, hear the voice of the self, embody a new reality, move through stagnation, and create miracles by attuning to the present moment. This training is designed to help you break free from what’s been holding you back from showing up fully as your best self. In this workshop we will create space for instantaneous support and trust to plant seeds for something new using rocket energy of equinox and the alchemical power of transforming your narrative. Led by Kimia Maleki.

Building on the practices of part 1 (prerequisite), we’ll extend beyond ourselves to serve others.  Applying these teachings to support family, community and clients accelerates personal and collective healing & transformation. This process unlocks our unconditionally loving capacities, liberates  the nervous system and activates  our ability to source healing, integration and innovation from the inside out. A priceless contribution to offer our communities toward a more benevolent and harmonious world.

 Jung and the Paranormal, Oct. 30, Nov. 6,13,20; 7-9PM (EDT); via Zoom; $60

Jung had an abiding interest in both psychology and parapsychology, writing about psi, meeting with psychics and clairvoyants, experiencing haunted houses, and urging more study of paranormal phenomena for the wealth of insights they could offer to a deeper understanding of the psyche and its processes. In this student-generated workshop the format is experiential: dozens of exercises serve to foster participants’ own psychic abilities. Everyone is psychic; learn how your abilities manifest in this hands-on program. Led by Sue Mehrtens
