According to C. G. Jung, the human personality has a transpersonal origin and essence.With the birth of each person, a spark of the Divine enters time-and-space-reality and through relationships that involve both joy and suffering, becomes embodied as a human soul (Winnicott's "personalization;" Jung's "individuation").
However when severe trauma strikes the developing psyche of a child, there is too little joy and too much suffering.The descent into ensouled personhood is unbearably painful for the immature ego, and an innocent core of the self splits off, retreating "God's world," i.e., into a deep layer of the unconscious that Jung referred to as the "collective" unconscious. There it continues to exist as a lost soul in suspended animation under a spell cast by the powers of the psyche's survival system.With the self thus divided, the trauma survivor feels "broken" or "unreal" and may even lose sight of the lost parts of the self, living a joyless, one-dimensional outer existence concerned more with survival than with true-self living.
Depth Psychotherapy offers the opportunity for renewed contact with the lost core of the self, and hence for renewed feeling-life, creativity, and relatedness.But the forces of repression resist this healing and are ready to wage a fierce battle for possession of the soul (see Blake's image of the Good and Evil Angels fighting for possession of a child).How this dramatic struggle between life-and anti-life forces comes out in the end often depends on the strength of connection between the analytic partners and whether their relationship can weather the many storms and stresses that threaten to de-rail the therapy venture or end it prematurely.
In this four day workshop we will explore these themes with the help of clinical examples, dreams, and illustrations from literature, art and contemporary film.Experiential process-groups will help ground the material.

I will be offering an on-going project that I call Dreaming in Place, a project I've carried out in Ireland for several years, in India, in Switzerland at last summer's Jungian Odyssey, and in Truchas, New Mexico . . . this satisfies my urge to balance stimulating conscious material presented by high-energy people with offerings from psyche Herself, making room for a kind of group homage to the unconscious psyche that under-weaves all our lives, all the time, no matter who or where we are . . .

“Aengus, an old, Celtic, dream-like god, is also the god of all dreamers. A contemporary Scottish lullabye has “Dream Angus” “hurtlin’ through the heather,” flinging dreams to gods and people alike. Aengus is also Lord of Poets and Master of Love, and Emma Jung called him an elemental person of the psyche. W. B. Yeats wrote his enigmatic poem, The Song of Wandering Aengus, in 1897.

Journey Into Wholeness, Brevard. North Carolina
“Understanding who we are is work of a special kind, a work of gathering insight and gleaning experience from a full engagement with the inchoate depths of our minds, hearts, bodies, and lives. While dreams may convey clues to our sense of self from the dark side of our being, poetry lives in a more day-lit and communal world. What does it mean to listen to poetry “for the soul’s return” — as opposed say, to the presence of the spirit?”
