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.

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.
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. Come explore an archetypal perspective on the human impact on earth’s geology and ecosystems, and learn how Jung’s ecological lens can inform new models of educational and economic systems.
WORKSHOP: Saturday October 6th 10 am — 4:00 pm

Friday evening lecture (October 27, 2017) and Saturday workshop (October 28, 2017).
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.
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.

The Exploration of Cultural Attitudes According to C.G. Jung’s Theory of Psychological Type
Lecture Description:
C.G. Jung’s theory of psychological type offers us tremendous insight into ourselves and others, yet people who are identical in type may still approach the world with very different attitudes and assumptions. How we make sense of the world seems to involve emotional investments and intellectual frameworks that tie to, but also go beyond, type. At a cultural level, these frameworks include social, religious, philosophical, aesthetic, and psychological attitudes.
Using illustrative clips from recent and classic films, Dr. John Beebe will lead us in exploring these orientations toward what is offered already by our culture. Participants will take away a new way of observing and understanding themselves and others.
The Impact of Cultural Attitudes and Psychological Type on Personal Lives and Relationships
Lecture Description:
This workshop looks at the interplay of cultural attitudes and psychological type in depth and explores how they impact our lives and relationships. We will ask questions such as: Is it possible or desirable to try to develop the attitudes that we do not naturally prefer? Should we be working in parenting or therapy to foster the development of these attitudes?
Participants will be able to formulate examples of communication problems and values conflicts that can arise in a relationship because of differences in cultural and psychological attitudes. Using case examples of his own as well as examples volunteered by participants, Dr. Beebe will demonstrate what it means to do psychotherapy employing each of the different cultural attitudes.

"Changing Consciousness & Therapeutic Practice"
Cost: $25 for members | $30 for non-members
CEUs: 2 CEUs are available for Friday's lecture (an additional $10)
Lecture Description:
Carl Jung engaged in a process of deep change that restructured his consciousness. This change was informed by moving away from strictly scientific and rational constructs toward a focus on non-rational experiences and non-ordinary perception.
As Jung developed his theory from these experiences, the analytic focus began to shift to the field that is created between two people and ever-widening spheres of connecting energies. Within this new context some of the basic assumptions of treatment and intervention, which are based on separateness, became less relevant. It is his process of engagement, rather than the content of his theory, that is the focus of this talk.
"Engaging the Consciousness of Change"
Date: 5/4/13
Time: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cost: $85 for members | $95 for non-members
CEUs: 4.5 CEUs are available for Saturday's workshop (an additional $25)
Event Location: The First Unitarian Church of Cleveland
(21600 Shaker Blvd., Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122)
Workshop Description:
Many people are experiencing dramatic changes in their lives as our world passes through a collective shift in consciousness. This workshop is designed to explore how to respond to the changes that are occurring as we move away from old rational scientific rules based on linear time and three-dimensional space into new dimensions of consciousness. In this workshop, we’ll explore the use of information gained from non-rational sources and transparent realms to give us guidance during these challenging times.
CEU Objectives:
1. To describe how Jung engaged in the process of changing consciousness.
2. To explore the use of non-rational ways of gaining information, relativizing the historical position of the ego in the psyche.
3. To discuss how the analytic focus shifts to the field of interconnection, thereby challenging some of the old theoretical constructs based on separateness.
4. To understand our responsibility in creating the form the new consciousness will take.

Workshop
"Cinderella: A Story for The Inner Ear"

Co-Sponsored by Northern Ohio Clinical Social Work Society (NOCSWS)
Cost: FREE for members / $45 for non-members
CEUs: 3 CEUs are available for Saturday’s workshop (An additional $25 for Psychology CEUs. Social Worker CEUs are handled by NOCSWS, and included with registration. See registration form for additional details.)
Workshop Description:
This 3-hour workshop will include introduction to and discussion of the dimensions of Folklore. Specifically, we will illuminate the story of Cinderella: how it can be understood as a symbolic and archetypal story that when explored psychologically offers relevance to the problems and challenges of contemporary life. Unlike the Disney version, it is about much more than “getting the prince.” By reflecting on Cinderella’s dilemma and the means with which she finds a way out of her desperate situation, we discover what can help and what can hinder our own way out of difficult situations.
Workshop Objectives:
1. To demonstrate how folktales are symbolic stories that can be considered to be archetypal stories.
2. To examine how archetypal stories, specifically Cinderella, presents symbolic images and themes illustrating issues and challenges that are typically human.
3. To explore the ways in which the folktale of Cinderella offers a view of psychological development.
4. Specifically how attunement to one’s “inner ear” – one’s attitude towards both conscious and unconscious knowing, instinct, and intuitions – can interface with what helps and what hinders psychological development and growth.
About the Presenter:
Jody Wainer is a Licensed Independent Social Worker and a Jungian Analyst. She has been in private practice since 1996. She is the past president of Jung Cleveland. Ms. Wainer is interested in increasing the visibility and understanding of Jungian thought and the support it can offer our lives.

"The Psyche on Stage: The Transformation of the Soul Through Drama"
Cost: $25 for members | $30 for non-members
CEUs: 2 CEUs are available for Friday's lecture (an additional $10)
Lecture Description:
Theater has long provided the human soul with the possibility of transformation. Viewing and/or participating in dramatic ritual allows us to see hidden aspects of ourselves and repressed aspects of the culture at large. It also provides a channel for the healthy expression of deep emotions. Jung described such creative work as becoming conscious of the Shadow and working toward Individuation; that is becoming more of who we really are, as opposed to who we think we should be. This lecture takes a look at the Individuation process in theater using scenes and images from modern and ancient plays. Also explored is the archetypal pattern of Death and Rebirth that underlies Drama as an art form and fuels the possibility for healing and transformation. Come join us as we explore that great Theater in the Round that is the Psyche on Stage.

(21600 Shaker Blvd., Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122)
Workshop Description:
This workshop takes the subject of Friday's lecture into the realm of personal experience. In a friendly, supportive environment, participants will have the opportunity to further explore their own individuation process through the medium of theater.
The workshop begins with a gentle warm-up period to loosen the voice and relax the body (this section is not strenuous and may be done seated). After this, short scenes and/or monologues from various plays will be provided for attendees. Through discussion and personal reflection, participants will then select the material they wish to work with. Following lunch, there will be a rehearsal period with the chance to explore the emotional, psychological and physical aspects of a character or scene. This material will then be presented for the group in the format of a dramatic reading. The chance to discuss and process one's personal experience will follow.
Please Note: All are welcome. The atmosphere provided is relaxed, non-competitive and meant to facilitate a psychological process rather than a performance. No prior acting/theater experience is necessary. Please wear comfortable clothing.

"Dying to Get Ahead: Ambition and the Art of Individuation"
Cost: $25 for members | $30 for non-members
CEUs: 2 CEUs are available for Friday's lecture (an additional $10)
Lecture Description:
Ambition has many faces. It can appear as intense desire, a desperate hungering after success or an overwrought need for fame and power. However, in its benign aspects, ambition reflects genuine desires that give individuals the energy and focus necessary to fulfill goals and realize themselves.
Using Jung’s insights into man’s “motive factor” and imaginal materials including art, dreams and the symbols of alchemy, this lecture will examine the inner workings of ambition. As we will discover, ambition is produced by the interaction of consciousness with unconscious factors, which interrupt and often redirect our willful efforts to achieve our goals. This interaction can be confusing, frustrating, painful or dangerously pleasurable. But if properly held and understood, ambition provides opportunities for self-realization that help us move through life and connect with our world.
Workshop

Lecture Description:
"Let us build the bond of community so that the living and the dead image will become one and the past will live on in the present…" -C.G. Jung
"Often I have such a great longing for myself. I know that the path ahead still
stretches far; but in my best dreams I see the day when I shall stand and greet myself." -Rainer Maria Rilke
When you lose three children, your home and your country, how do you go on? If you are Emma Hoffman, a gifted painter in the impressionist tradition, you paint. Those paintings continue to speak of the redemptive power of art to Hoffman’s granddaughter, Naomi Ruth Lowinsky. Years ago, when she was in analytic training at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, Lowinsky had a dream in which she was told, "On your way to Jung’s house, you must first stop at your grandmother’s house and gather some of her paintings.” Lowinsky was the first child born in the New World to a family of German-Jewish refugees from the Shoah. She had a special tie with her only surviving grandparent, whom she knew as Oma. Oma taught her that making art can be a way to transmute grief and bear the unbearable.
A series of paintings, self portraits, portraits of family, landscapes and interior scenes of the houses she lived in reflects her lamentations, her wandering and her search for redemption. Lowinsky understood her dream to mean that she had to follow the path of her own creativity. She did not know then that the dream would turn out to be literally true as well. She would need to put her art — her poetry — at the service of her grandmother’s paintings. Her grandmother’s spirit would demand it. Her opus would need to intersect with her Oma’s, and together they’d make their way to Jung’s house.
This presentation is the result of an ongoing dialogue between Hoffman and Lowinsky’s art. She will weave together Emma Hoffman’s story and paintings, her poetry and prose and her reflections on Jung’s Red Book as an example of the “art of lament and redemption,” a form she calls Jungian memoir.
Lecture Goals:
1. Understand the psychology of the refugee
2. Understand the psychology of Jews who fled the Nazis and their descendants
3. Contemplate the experience of grief
4. Consider the uses of creative process in healing trauma
Speak, Muse: A Day with the Sister from Below
Date: 5/18/13
Time: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cost: $85 for members | $95 for non-members
CEUs: 4.5 CEUs are available for Saturday's workshop (an additional $25)
Event Location: The First Unitarian Church of Cleveland
(21600 Shaker Blvd., Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122)
Workshop Description:
In this writing workshop, Naomi Ruth Lowinsky will introduce her muse, the shape-shifting Sister from Below, and invite her to inspire your writing practice. With the Sister’s help, Lowinsky will facilitate an imaginative encounter with the stuff of your inner and outer life — your own Jungian memoir.
The Sister from Below is a fierce inner figure. She emerges out of reverie, dream, a fleeting memory or a difficult emotion as the moment of inspiration — the muse. This Sister is not about the ordinary business of life: work, shopping or making dinner. She speaks from other realms. If you'll allow, she'll whisper in your ear, lead your thoughts astray, fill you with strange yearnings, get you hot and bothered, send you off on some wild-goose-chase of a daydream and eat up hours of your time. She's a siren, a seductress, a shape-shifter... Why listen to such a troublemaker? Because she is essential to the creative process: She holds the keys to the doors of our imaginations and deeper life—the evolution of soul.
Open to those who write and those who want to. Bring pen and notebook.
Workshop Goals:
1. Have direct experience of the creative process
2. Have direct experience of active imagination
3. Deepen self knowledge about inner experience
4. Deepen psychological understanding of writers and other artists
About Lowinsky:
Naomi Ruth Lowinsky, Ph.D., lives at the confluence of the River Psyche and the Deep River of poetry. Her memoir, The Sister from Below: When the Muse Gets Her Way, tells stories of her pushy muse. She is the co-editor of the new collection Marked by Fire: Stories of the Jungian Way. She is a Jungian analyst and the author of four books of poetry, including the forthcoming Faust Woman Poems. Lowinsky is the winner of the Obama Millennium Award, and her poetry and prose have been widely published. She is a member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco and has led a writing circle there, called Deep River, for years.

Lecture & Discussion Description:
Folktales have been told over the millennia and across the globe, capturing the hearts and imaginations of every generation and affecting listeners everywhere. They are symbolic stories that reveal archetypal aspects of human existence. Rumpelstiltskin tells the story of a young girl’s desperate situation: to save her life, she promises her child to a gnome who rescues her. We will explore how the girl becomes trapped, how she is rescued, and how she regains her child and her life. We will seek to understand where we encounter similar dilemmas in our lives and how we can grow to regain autonomy. Rumpelstiltskin is the gnome who helps and hinders, whose power we have to appreciate and overcome and who will enslave us unless we passionately seek to know him and thereby reclaim our vitality.

Jung in Dialogue with the Soul: Is Analytical Psychology a New Religion?
Lecture Description:
This lecture will focus on the implications of the dialogues between Jung and his soul that are recorded in “The Red Book.” In one of these dialogues, the soul tells Jung that he has received a revelation that he should not hide. His calling is the new religion and its proclamation. The presenter will discuss his idea that because of Jung’s dialogue with the soul that 12 years later, he was able to write, “We stand on the threshold of a new spiritual epoch; and that from the depths of man’s own psychic life, new spiritual forms will be born.”
Is Jung's approach to the psyche really the revelation of a new form of spirituality, what Edward F. Edinger calls the "new dispensation," or is this idea merely a symptom of inflation? If analytical psychology is indeed an emerging form of spirituality, what does that look like in practice, how does it compare with traditional religious forms, and what are the implications for the practice of psychotherapy and for our culture?
Depth Psychology as a Spiritual Practice
3/17/12 | 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Event Location: The First Unitarian Church of Cleveland
(21600 Shaker Blvd., Shaker Heights, Ohio 44122)
Workshop Description:
This workshop will review Jung's approach to religion and spirituality, and then present the idea that for many people the practice of depth psychotherapy is a contemporary form of spiritual direction. Instead of a traditional theistic idea – that of integrating spiritual direction into psychotherapy and depth psychology – Dr. Corbett suggests that using a Jungian approach these disciplines can be seen as synonymous.
The psyche reveals the sacred in the form of numinous experience, and manifests the Self, which is an imago dei; the psyche is therefore sacramental. Because the Self acts as a kind of blueprint for the individuation of the personality, there is no firm distinction between our spirituality and our psychology or between psychological and spiritual problems. This workshop will illustrate this idea with examples from our participants’ experiences.
About Corbett:
Lionel Corbett, M.D., trained in medicine and psychiatry in England, and as a Jungian analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago, teaches depth psychology as a member of Pacifica Graduate Institute’s core faculty in Santa Barbara, Calif. Dr. Corbett is the author of “Psyche and the Sacred: Spirituality Beyond Religion,” “The Religious Function of the Psyche,” “The Sacred Cauldron: Psychotherapy as a Spiritual Practice,” and is co-editor, with Dennis Patrick Slattery, of “Depth Psychology: Meditations in the Field” and “Psychology at the Threshold: Selected Papers.”
