Jung’s brand of psychology is especially popular with women, and many Jungian analysts are women. In this course we read nine books written by women analysts focused on the ways Jung’s psychology addresses the lives of women and their challenges. All the books for the course are provided to participants. Our January book is World Weary Woman by Cara Barker; for February, The Sacred Prostitute, by Nancy Qualls-Corbet; and for March, Conscious Femininity by Marion Woodman; 18 CEUs are available for therapists. Contact me to get the books.

This course provides a basic orientation to one of the most essential practices of the spiritual journey. Called “receptive prayer,” “contemplation,” “sitting,” zazen, and “the art of inner listening,” meditation offers manifold benefits to the spiritual seeker. We consider some of the schools of meditation as we work with over a dozen techniques drawn from Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Tibetan and zen traditions. Because the purpose of the course is to equip students with this most valuable tool, the format is much more experiential than intellectual, although some readings are discussed and a lengthy bibliography is provided. The goal is both to inform and to immerse participants in meditation and to encourage the development of a regular, daily practice. Led by Sue Mehrtens.

How can we feel safe and secure in a world that seems to get “curiouser and curiouser”
(to use Alice’s term as she wandered through wonderland) with every passing day? This experiential workshop addresses this question with over a dozen exercises, techniques and practices to help participants achieve an abiding locus of security. Led by Sue Mehrtens
