THIS SEMINAR HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK ONE WEEK — we will begin on February 11th and meet for the final session on April 1st. Nothing else about the seminar has changed.
If our last course, the Foundations of Jungian Psychology, offered students the “what,” this upcoming seminar, Working with the Unconscious, will provide the “how.”
For students who are new to this form of inquiry as well as those seeking an enriching dive back into the core tools of Jungian psychology, this seminar will provide an opportunity to deepen such practices as dreamwork, active imagination, the use of projection for self-understanding, alchemical thinking, the observation of daydreams and fantasies, and more.
Each gathering will include some lecture, live demonstrations, in-session exercises, and discussion of between-session readings. At each step, the goal will be to deepen the understanding of symbolic thinking and the experience of a lived relationship with the unconscious. Our focus will be to provide enriching, accessible, and valuable material for self-work and self-understanding.
Satya’s approach is to witness the inner self with empathy and interest: what does she/he/they want to say? What do they need? How can they be a genuine partner in the co-creation of one’s life and the world? We’ll work on developing or enhancing this self-observational lens—not with criticism, but with curiosity
These sessions will build on Satya’s eight-week course held in the fall of 2021, though it is not necessary to have taken that seminar in order to participate in this one.
All registered students will have access to a course website that will provide the following:
Zoom link for live sessions
Readings in pdf format
Prompt weekly recordings of live sessions
Space for comments, dialogue, and community building with other participants
Additional resources
Session will be two hours in length, with a short break in the middle. Every effort will be made to balance direct instruction with individual practice and group engagement.
Recordings: All sessions will be recorded for any participants who are unable to attend the live salons or who prefer to watch at a different time. There is no expectation that those registered attend all—or any—live gatherings.
