October event Featuring Dorothea Wojnar

Friday night lecture, 4 October 2019, 8-10pm.

Carl Jung’s Alchemy

Carl Jung first turned to alchemy for personal illumination in coping

with trauma brought on by his break with Freud. Alchemical

symbolism eventually suggested to Jung that there was a process in

the unconscious that had the goal of generating self transformation.

groups where each person will be encouraged to share some of their

own journey.

September event Featuring Terry Curtin

Friday night lecture, 6 September 2019, 8-10pm.

Jung and Meister Eckhart

Terry will reflect on how a 13th century Dominican theologian/mystic had such a profound impact on Carl Jung who said: Only in Meister Eckhart did I find the breath of life.

Memories, Dreams & Reflections, p87

Meister Eckhart (1260–1326) was a profound thinker and preacher

who pushed the boundaries of conventional church teachings by

focusing on the individual and their personal experience of God, as

opposed to dogma and ritual. This focus is consistent with Jung's

belief that one had to personally experience the objective, living

psyche/Self.

November event Featuring Dr Rajiv Singh

Friday evening lecture, 1st November 2019, 8-10pm

Dialogic Practice and Jung’s Concept of the Temenos

Rajiv in this talk will identify the commonalities between Jung’s concept of the Temenos — the inner space deep within us where soul-making takes place — and the practice of Open Dialogue (OD). The central clinical element of OD is Dialogic Practice which emphasizes conversations that allow the therapist to be “with” the person as opposed to holding conversations “about” the person.
