The Wound as Bridge to the Numinous

Free for members, $5 non-members, no pre-registration required

6:30-8:00 pm Forest Hill Church Presbyterian

Wounding is a fundamental part of human experience that can connect us to undeveloped and unknown aspects of ourselves, to deeper experiences of the soul, and to the mysteries of life, which can be numinous. Laura Chapman, Jungian Analyst, will discuss ways in which the material generated from our wounded places can be integrated to shape our consciousness as we evolve.

ABOUT LAURA CHAPMAN

Laura Chapman is a Jungian Analyst (2017) in private practice since 1980. Laura is an active member of Jung Cleveland as well as the Pittsburgh Society of Jungian Analysts (PSJA). She is also a member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts (IRSJA) and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP). Laura’s early work as a psychotherapist included a somatic approach aimed at developing the awareness between the body and mental/emotional processes. Her continued interest is how the conscious exploration of one’s wounded places can facilitate an opening for change, growth and the possibility of transformation.

DESCRIPTION:

Mythology gives us a glimpse into the deep structures of psyche. Join us as we look at Hindu mythology from a Jungian point of view. Hindu mythology in particular gives many of us a fresh, multicultural perspective on a shared archetypal experience. Participants will be given one myth each week and asked to bring questions to the group for deeper discussion.

This seminar will allow participants to:
1) Gain insight into archetypal structures of psyche and how they function in our lives;
2) Expand the lexicon of images and stories that frame and illuminate human experience.
3) Learn tools to use an archetypal lens in personal and/or clinical work.

Adina Davidson, Ph.D., LISW is in her final year of Jungian analytic training and a board member for Jung Cleveland.  She is in private practice in Cleveland Heights and Beachwood and serves as an Adjunct Professor at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Workshop

Untangling Knots: Working with Jung's Theory of Complexes

Date: April 8, 2017                                                                                         
Time:  10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
CEUs:  4.5 CEUs are available for Saturday's workshop (an additional $25)
Costs: $85 for members / $95 for non-members / $80 for senior members / $85 for senior non-members / $10 for students (with valid i.d)

Program Description:

Have you ever been gripped by an unexpected emotion when trying to express a simple idea? If so, you have experienced what Jung labels a complex. A complex hijacks our true self, controlling our feelings and responses: the complex “has us,” we don’t “have it.” We are left manifesting some aspect of a false self; the “not-me.” Complexes tangle us in “nots,” and are difficult to “un-not” on one’s own. A knotty situation indeed!

Using lecture, discussion, video clips, and experiential exercises, this workshop will help participants connect with the nature of a complex and learn tools to identify, understand, and untangle the knots of personal experience. This workshop is excellent for individuals interested in self-discovery and for therapists looking to enhance clinical work with clients. Participants will be able to:

• Define Jung’s model of a complex, including the relationship between the ego, consciousness, and unconscious aspects of the complex.
• Learn the technique of active imagination to identify and differentiate contemporaneous and historical material related to the complexes.

Presenter:

Robert Sheavly is a Jungian Analyst in Washington, DC, the director of the Central Washington Psychotherapy Associates and the Director of Training for the Philadelphia Jung Institute. Bob also serves as treasurer of the Jungian Analysts of Washington Association (JAWA) and the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts (PAJA).

Description:

Drawing from his book Father, Son and Healing Ghosts, Anthony Moore begins this program with a brief review of Jungian concepts. We will then view segments of the movie Field of Dreams, interpreting images and narrative of the movie from a Jungian perspective. The movie provides a powerful dramatization of how the healing process of the human psyche functions. Using images from the movie as a guide, we will outline a methodology for doing inner work.
 
The program concludes with Tony's personal account of applying this methodology to connect to his father who was killed in World War II. By telling the story of his father and fellow Marines, he will describe how he came to know his father and overcame the life-long void he felt from his father’s death.
 
Time will be given for personal reflection and group sharing.
Book available for $11 including tax ($10 for members)

About the Presenter:

Anthony Moore served for 34 years as a teacher, administrator and spiritual director at Georgetown University. His research and teaching focused on the integration of philosophy, psychology and spirituality. Introduced to Jung through the use of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator in his teaching and organizational consulting, he had taught Jungian psychology for several years when the Jungian images and symbols inField of Dreams revealed areas of his own psychic life that pertained to the loss of his father, who was killed in war without meeting his son. These reflections led to using the movie's images and symbols as a guide to writing  Father, Son and Healing Ghosts, a book recounting his journey, a “journey to wholeness,” to connect to his father. Anthony Moore earned a Ph.D. from Fordham University and a Master of Divinity from the Weston School of Theology. He lives in Falls Church, VA.
