Practical Jung -- Berta Parrish

Carl Jung has been called a Western Shaman because of his explorations into states of consciousness. Many of his concepts, including collective unconsciousness, projection, archetypes, and synchronicity, are familiar words in our everyday vocabularies.

This class will help you apply these psychological insights to the challenges we all face in the second half of life.

During the first session, a Power Point presentation, drawing and writing exercises, and shared personal experiences will help you...:
* Differentiate between the conscious and the unconscious.
* Understand the three types of projection.
* Recognize shadow issues when they arise in projection.
* Identify a few major archetypal energies in their lives.

During the second session, a Power Point presentation, a guided imagery exercise, and shared personal experiences, will help you to...
* Identify a time when the Trickster archetype entered their lives.
* Appreciate the power of symbols to heal and to guide.
* Dialogue with a symbol or image that is meaningful to them.
* Discuss synchronicity and share an example of it in their lives.
* Further experiment with a few of the Jungian practices presented.
