Memories, Dreams Reflections: Exploring the Depths, a 6-Month Online Program
Arlo Compaan, co-chair of the Institute’s Program Committee and past Director of Training, interviews the facilitators of our new six-month online program Memories, Dreams, Reflections: Exploring the Depths. In this monthly online weekend program, Jungian analysts and experts will introduce the major themes of Analytical Psychology as Carl Jung developed them across his life, beginning in his early 20s and ending in his 80s. Through presentations, facilitated large and small group interaction, and paired experiential exercises, we will explore these themes from Jung’s writings in relationship to the events of his life and then connected to our contemporary experiences.
By following Jung into the depths of his experience, we will deepen our understanding of these themes in our lives:
- Adaptation to our inner world and to the outer world
- The relationship between spirit and matter
- The individual and collective unconscious
- The relationship of consciousness (ego) to the Self
- Daily life and dream life, images, and symbols
The program will run from January through June, 2021. This interview was recorded in October 2020.
