Although Carl Jung died over 50 years ago, his intuition transcends time and makes his writing as pertinent now as it was half-a-century ago. We can draw on his wisdom as we grapple with ecological challenges, new technologies, political dysfunction, economic and financial issues, and the challenges posed by the rise of China and the “Silk Road” countries. C.G. Jung’s Wisdom for Our Time is the text for this course.

An experiential course training both analysts and anyone interested is becoming more self-aware to think archetypally by exposing them to myths, legends and the powerful symbolism of the personal chart. Students will work with their own charts, as well as the charts of famous people (e.g. Trump, JFK, Marilyn Monroe etc.), to see how archetypes operate in individual lives.

In “Aion” Jung warned his students that “… anyone who is destined to descend into a deep pit had better set about it with all the necessary precautions rather than risk falling into the hole backwards. (Collected Works, 9ii, ¶125). This workshop helps students take those “precautions” by identifying those items, ideas and pieces of information that can support them in times of spiritual crisis. An invaluable adjunct to the spiritual journey and useful for anyone who works with his or her dreams.
