Video and Discussion: Myths & Monsters
Join us for another of our Wednesday Gatherings!
March 6th, 6:30-8:00 pm at Forest Hill Church Presbyterian, 3031 Monticello Blvd, Cleveland Heights OH 44118
free for members/$5 non-members; no pre-registration needed
Stories have been told throughout history since the time of cave men. Over the centuries, this has evolved into modern cinema, television, and even video games - but some of the most well known fables and fairy tales have endured and are still told today. Myths & Monsters is a 6-part documentary that chronicles the origin of some of the best known stories in Western culture.
The episodes begin with a well crafted introduction that gives a brief overview on the content of the documentary before diving into the meat of the series. This opening episode, dubbed Heroes & Villains, introduces the Hero’s Journey template as depicted in the book The Hero With A Thousand Faces and explains how each story is crafted around this and explores the ones that defy this template.
We will watch the first 2 episodes together and then have time for discussion.

SYNCHRONICITY
February 6th, 6:30-8:00 pm at Forest Hill Church Presbyterian, 3031 Monticello Blvd, Cleveland Heights OH 44118
Free for members/$5 non-member, no pre-registration required
DESCRIPTION:
In 1913, Jung began to have visions that foretold Europe’s plunge into World War I. How could this be? How could his psyche have connected to an event yet to occur? It would take another 30 years before Jung dove into this dilemma. Sparked by his correspondence with the famous physicist, Wolfgang Pauli, Jung would ponder the ultimate unity between the physical and psychic realms until his death in 1961. Come learn about the definition of synchronicity and join discussion about how we, as individuals, experience meaningful “coincidences” in our own lives.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
Hallie B. Durchslag, Ph.D., LISW-S, is a Jungian-based psychotherapist with a private practice in Cleveland Heights, OH. She is a field instructor for the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, and is President of the Jung Educational Center of Cleveland.

LECTURE: Friday evening October 5th 7 pm—9:00 pm
JUNG’S NEW AGE PARADIGM: AN ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
In the 1950s, Carl Jung had already intuited the need for a paradigm shift in our relationship with nature, calling it a “new age” in which an ecological concept of psyche must exist alongside the human psychic experience.

The Quantum World and Jung's Notion of Self
The Self in the Quantum World
Friday evening lecture (October 27, 2017) and Saturday workshop (October 28, 2017).

- Time: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Cost: $25 for members / $30 for non-members
- CEUs: 2 CEUs are available for Friday’s lecture (an additional $10)
Is imagination central to the cosmos or is it only an addendum? Is it like some kind of dazzling make-up which, when removed, leaves the order of the universe fundamentally unchanged, or not?
Modern quantum mechanics increasingly reveals that imagination is integral to the cosmos. It matters and makes our world whole and delightful. In this lecture, Dr. LeMouël, international physicist, reflects on the central role that imagination may be destined to play in the coming age.
Workshop: The Quantum and the Self
- Date: 10/28/17
- Time: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
- Cost: $85 for members / $95 for non-members
- CEUs: 4.5 CEUs are available for Saturday's workshop (an additional $25)
Since psychiatrist C.G. Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli collaborated on the convergence of depth psychology and quantum physics in the 1950's, much scientific progress has been made which lends support to the far-reaching possibility of the unity of matter and psyche. This workshop situates Jung's work in the historical context of the development of physical sciences and shows that Jung's concept of the self, is a remarkable analog to the concept of the quantum.
About the Presenter:
Christophe LeMouël, Ph.D. was trained as a quantum physicist and did theoretical research in high energy physics for several years in France and Greece. He also worked as a project manager at the National Center for Nuclear Energy in Paris, France, before moving to Los Angeles in 2007. Fascinated by the connection of physics and psychology, he lectured internationally on this topic. He is currently the Executive Director of the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and the Science Editor of the Jungian journal Psychological Perspectives. He is also adjunct faculty at Relativity School where he teaches physics to the next generation of filmmakers.

A Native American Paradox: Living in Harmony, the Necessity of Chaos
Coyote is sometimes a man, sometimes a god, sometimes an animal; a restless trickster, inquisitive, obscene, adventurous and diabolically challenging — a desert Mephistopheles. — Joseph Henderson (1956)
Lecture
Living in Harmony with the Natural World: The Lakota World View
- Date: 6/2/17
- Time: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Cost: $25 for members / $30 for non-members
- CEUs: 2 CEUs are available for Friday’s lecture (an additional $10)
Lecture Description:
Dyane Sherwood will speak about the symbolic and experiential way that the Lakota (“Sioux”) tribe’s ancient spiritual tradition situates the individual within the natural world and within community.
We will look at fundamental symbols and rituals, as well as a story that teaches the value of feminine wisdom. This will be related to the alienation and suffering expressed by many people seeking psychotherapy today, who have lost their orientation and sense of belonging in the natural world and within a community with shared values.
The lecture will be followed by a ritual of drumming as a form of active imagination, as practiced by the late Donald Sandner. Wear comfortable clothing and bring drums and rattles so we can celebrate together at the end.
Workshop
Coyote: The Great North American Trickster
- Date: 6/3/17
- Time: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
- Cost: $85 for members / $95 for non-members
- CEUs: 4.5 CEUs are available for Saturday's workshop (an additional $25)
Workshop Description:
Dyane Sherwood will introduce you to Coyote, the Great North American Trickster, greedy and lascivious, who transgresses boundaries and cultural norms. Native American Coyote stories use outrageous humor to teach us about the Coyote in ourselves and in others.
Each person will have the opportunity to use paper, clay, paint, and other art supplies to make your own Coyote figure. We will make the figures in the morning, and then paint and decorate them at the end of the afternoon. You may also wish to write a story of your own about an encounter with Coyote!
After lunch, and before completing our Coyotes, we will learn about a Navajo story and no-longer practiced healing ritual that takes us more deeply into the evil and harm caused by Coyote when his path leads to addiction, abuse, and mental illness. The group will be invited to participate in a discussion of the ways the the stories and ritual can inform therapeutic practice, as well as everyday life. (Registration limited to 30 attendees.)

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.

Costs: JAICO members $40, Non-Members $45, Reception at the Wine Bistro $10,
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.

AFFILIATE EVENT: James Hollis Presents “Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives”

Lecture:
Date: February 10, 2016
Time: 7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
Costs: Donation $25
Lecture Description:
Our ancestors believed in ghosts, and perhaps they were not far off the mark as so much of daily life is driven by invisible psychic forces, archaic agendas, and imperious admonitions and prohibitions, all the more powerful because they operate unconsciously. What are the features of such “hauntings,” and how might we gain some further foothold on a more conscious conduct of life?
Workshop:
Date: February 11, 2016
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Costs: Donation $25
Workshop Description:
We will use literary and case studies to illustrate the presence of “hauntings” in people’s lives. Questions and exercises designed to elicit insight into one’s own haunting will be provided by the speaker. Please bring notepad and pen upon which to reflect on the invisible powers which govern your daily life.
About the Presenter:
James Hollis, Ph.D., is a Zurich-trained, Jungian analyst in private practice in Washington, D.C. He is the author of fourteen books, most recently, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life, What Matters Most, and Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives.
