This immersive program offers an in-depth understanding of Analytical (Jungian) Psychology for individuals without clinical training, as well as for clinicians seeking to integrate Jungian work into their clinical practice.

Some themes for definition and exploration may include:

• Concepts: Individuation; shadow; persona; ego-Self axis; projection; libido; collective unconscious; personal unconscious; transference + countertransference; anima + animus and an updated awareness of psychological gender / the inner feminine and the inner masculine for all people; understanding of LGBTQ+ perspectives.

• Methods: Dreamwork; active imagination; alchemical psychology; the use of divination and synchronicity in clinical practice.

• Personal application: Money; intimacy; sex; boundaries; addictions; creative life; family; parenting; and relationships.

Programming is rarely elementary, by design. Learning happens progressively and through embodied, personalized understanding, rather than merely intellectualized concepts.

Most lectures will be based on readings, which will be shared in advance.

Individuals at all levels of familiarity with this material are welcome to join.

Each month, we’ll delve into a specific story together—or a segment of a larger, ongoing narrative.

Throughout time and across cultures, storytelling is a profound expression of nature and the collective unconscious. Fairy tales and myths provide entry points into the archetypal layers of the psyche, enhancing our understanding of our shared history, personal story, and the language of dreams.

Esteemed guests will be woven into this monthly ritual, often invited to select the myth they most want to share with our community.

We will have the opportunity to learn from a wide range of experts, authors, and practitioners in areas of mythology, dreamwork, Jungian psychology, and more.

Further announcements will be made as individuals are confirmed and added to the program.

Scroll below for more details on some of those individuals already scheduled.

In addition to our scheduled events, the structure of our programming encourages students to initiate gatherings and small groups on topics such as:

• Dreams

• The Tarot and divination

• The I Ching

• Writing-with-myth

• Men’s work

• Incorporating queer identity into Jungian theory

You may choose to initiate something for classmates to join, or choose from other offerings.

In-person gatherings are also possible, whether for locals in a specific region or to meet up when traveling through a new town.

The clinical component of our programming consists of committed, core consultation groups of 15 clinicians, facilitated by Satya Doyle Byock and occasional guest experts.

These groups explore individual clinical cases through a Jungian lens. Some areas of emphasis may include: integrating symbolic thinking into sessions, clients’ dreams and dreams of clients, issues of transference and countertransference.

The focus is on fostering an ongoing mastery and internalization of a Jungian approach, regardless of each person’s originating knowledge base. The learning will be immersive and embodied, versus purely conceptual.

Some specific topics for clinical sessions may also include:

• The clinical relationship from a Jungian (as opposed to Freudian/ psychoanalytic) perspective. Presence, attunement, and creative expression.

• Incorporating Western medical psychological diagnosis into a Jungian frame.

• Holding a safe container, boundaries, money + payment, scheduling, and cancellations.

Discussions between group members will be facilitated via an entirely private online platform. Each clinical group will have its own dedicated space for confidential sharing.

Further one-on-one consultation will be available with Satya at a significant discount off her standard consultation fee throughout the length of the training.

Schedule: Gatherings are every other week (twice monthly) at a consistent time for each group. Each session is 75 minutes. Specific days/times will be chosen after program registration.

All participants will gain a certification in Analytical Psychology for ongoing professional development, along with 30 CEUs from The Salome Institute.

Yes! We are happy to offer an option for monthly payments at no additional charge. When registration opens, you’ll receive options to pay the yearly cost all at once, or sign-up for monthly installments.

If you are not a licensed or pre-licensed clinician, we would love to have you in the General Public track, which will be robust and full of options for additional community gatherings.

If you are a clinician who is interested in  a Jungian case-consultation group, could use CEUs, and would value a Certificate in Analytical Psychology—the Clinical track is ideal for you. You will also have access to everything in the General Public track.

If you are a clinician who has retired, is just beginning clinical work, is only working administratively, or is not seeing clients much these days for any reason—you are welcome in either group. It depends on what is most useful to you.

If you’re still not sure, please register for the General Public waitlist and you’ll still receive the information you need.

We are offering two tracks within our annual program; one for the general public, and one for clinicians. Registration will open on December 1st for the general public, and on December 15th for clinicians.

We’ll email the waitlist as soon as registration opens. Space is limited in both sections of the program—in particular for the clinical portion, which includes small case consultation groups—so we recommend registering as soon as you can after receiving the registration link.

Meeting times will vary somewhat. All class dates will be announced in advance with enough time for planning.

Most meetings will take place on Friday mornings, every other week—Pacific time, to allow for East Coast and European attendance.

All live sessions will be recorded and shared with students immediately following. Access to recordings will be available for the length of enrollment.

Additional guest teachers, office hours, or other bonus events may be added periodically at different times.

Peer-led gatherings are available at any time students choose to schedule them.

Clinicians: you will be assigned to a small group for case consultation that will meet every other week at a consistent time. We’ll work with you after registration to place you in a group that works with your time zone and schedule. Scheduling options will be limited, and we thank you in advance for your flexibility.

Let’s say… 20-50 pages a month? This will fluctuate depending on programming and guest teachers, but is meant to be additive to learning and not overwhelming! Of course, all reading is ultimately optional.

For general public members, approximate session times are about 3 hours per month with likely bonus sessions and peer-led gatherings. 

For clinicians, consultation groups will be an additional 2.5 hours per month.

The amount of time you spend reading, writing, and engaging in the community is entirely up to you.

We will observe a slightly lighter schedule during some of the summer, and major holidays at the end of the year. The community space for peer-led gatherings and conversation will remain open at all times.

Yes, we have a select number of spaces for scholarships and/or significant discounts to the program. Please note: we will confirm these spots after registration closes.This means that if you have the ability to pay for the program, you should register with the larger group as we cannot guarantee you a spot or confirm scholarships or discounts in advance.

If you’d like to be considered for a scholarship, please fill out this form — we’ll create a separate mailing list and be in touch.

No problem! We’re happy to chat further. Please feel free to email us at hello@salomeinstitute.com.
