2009 Bollingen Lecture

A Neo-Jungian Mapping of the Psyche - Friday
Archetypes and Ecstasy: The Quest for Optimal Experience - Sat.

Robert Moore, Ph.D.
October 16 & 17, 2009

Friday Evening Lecture
Jung’s work on the structure of the psyche, and especially the Collective Unconscious, was groundbreaking - but even Jung knew that it would continue to unfold.

In this lecture, analyst Robert Moore will introduce his discoveries about the deep structures of the Archetypal Self.

His “map of inner geography” will help us to better understand the role of the Self in balancing the opposites in our lives and the foundation of the transcendent function.

Moore’s Neo-Jungian mapping of the psyche will then focus on the implications of the organization of these deep structures for our psychological development and our spiritual growth toward wholeness.

Saturday Workshop
What is it that drives the human quest for something more in our lives? What is it that fuels the longing to reach beyond, the drive for excellence, and our tendency to be vulnerable to a myriad of addictions?

A depth analysis of these longings leads us to the fiery energies of the Archetypal Self, the GodSelf at the center of the human personality.

In this seminar, Dr. Moore will present his discoveries about the archetypal map of the journey toward wholeness. This map is encoded in our personalities as a guide to optimal personal experience and fulfillment.

In addition to lecture and discussion, we will also engage in experiential exercises to recognize patterns that may be inhibiting our movement toward optimal experience.

Dr. Robert Moore is Distinguished Service Professor of Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Spirituality in the Graduate Center of the Chicago Theological Seminary. An internationally recognized psychoanalyst in private practice in Chicago, he has served as a Training Analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago, and is Director of Research for the Institute for Integrative Psychotherapy and the Chicago Center for Integrative Psychotherapy. Author and editor of numerous books in psychology and spirituality, he lectures around the world on his formulation of a neo-Jungian approach to psychoanalysis. His most recent book is Facing the Dragon: Confronting Personal and Spiritual Grandiosity.

The Bollingen Fund

The Bollingen Fund was named after the "confession of faith in stone," as Jung called his tower÷the house he built for himself with his own hands at Bollingen. Over the years, as he would begin to feel that the house was incomplete, he would add rooms and courtyards and even an upper story. Bollingen was always the place where Jung said he felt most deeply himself.
