Observations on Jung, Religion, and Spirituality, With Rev. David Hett
2021-12-11 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | First Community, 1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43212
The C. G. Jung Association of Central Ohio (JACO) grew initially out of depth psychology groups begun at First Community some 40 years ago. We have asked Rev. David Hett, Dean of The Burkhart Center, to present the December “Second Saturday” program, on the topic of Carl Jung’s (and followers) perspectives on religion and spirituality. Dr. Jung was the son and grandson of Protestant ministers and so brings much perspective on Christianity into his psychological work, as one of the preeminent founders of the depth psychology movement in the 20th century. Second Saturday programs are free and open to the public, and this one will be in-person at First Community South: 1320 Cambridge Blvd. 43212 Scroll below, please, to register (RSVP).

Rev. Hett, clergy member of First Community, has been a student of depth psychologist Carl Jung, and served for years on the JACO board of directors, and will bring his own insights into the interplay of Jungian thought and practice with Christian religious concepts particularly. With no claims to be an expert on Jungian psychology, he will, with his more extensive background in psychological-spiritual work, present observations on spirituality, psychology, and practice that foster personal growth and integration of personality and essence, of the human with the divine qualities of our true nature.

Observations on Jung, Religion, and Spirituality, With Rev. David Hett
2022-01-08 10:00 - 12:00
Rev. David Hett’s December program was so outstanding that the participants importuned him to present a follow-on. His material was so rich, deeply informed by diverse scholarly resources, that he said he easily could offer us more. He truly held everyone spellbound with his knowledge, humor, and engaging personality. Because we are unable to bring Dr. Fanny Brewster and Dr, Karen Naifeh in January as hoped, we have scheduled David for the January Second Saturday. It will be a free program, though the omicron variant of covid has necessitated its being a Zoom delivery. Thus it’s really important for you to RSVP (scroll down) in order to receive your zoom link. In order to get the link in time, RSVP NO LATER THAN 9 AM SATURDAY JANUARY 8.

Animus – Anima: A Jungian Reset? – Presented by JACO Members Mary Marx and John Schuster
2022-03-12 10:00 - 12:00
C G Jung has been credited largely with the concept that men have an inner feminine and women have an inner masculine (i.e., the contrasexual self) which allows all people access to both gendered energies. The cultural limits of Jung’s life have created confusion for people working with and studying his writing for decades, and the non-binary choices that now exist go way beyond anything Jung saw in his time. Susan Rowland’s work on Jung and gender make an important contribution here. This session is a forum for discussion of anima and animus in a contemporary context.
Mary Marx taught English classes on myth and folktales at Chatfield College. She holds master’s degrees from UC and Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is past OLLI moderator of Myth and Symbols in Mary Renault’s The King Must Die, and Seamus Heaney’s Sweeney Astray (with R. Shanklin).
John teaches leadership coaching at Columbia University. He has an MA in literature and an MA in psychology. He is co-author of The Power of Open-book Management and author of Answering Your Call: A Guide to Living Your Deepest Purpose as well as The Power of Your Past: The Art of Recalling, Recasting, and Reclaiming. In 2018, John launched a podcast about aging with intention called Stories for the Ages on NPR.

WHAT IS A LIFE WELL-LIVED? Jungian Reflections on “The Three Feathers” Tale Presented by Dr. Richard Sweeney
2022-04-23 09:30 - 12:00 | First Community North Campus, 3777 Dublin Rd., Columbus, Ohio 43221, 3777 Dublin Rd, Columbus, OH, 43221, United States
A description of the program follows, as well as a pointer to registration information. Here though is an interview with Dr. Sweeney about the program he is presenting.
https://www.jungcentralohio.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Sweeney-intro-video-1.mp4
The Bauza lecture this year is dedicated to our long-time Jung Association member and recent board member, Donice Wooster, who passed from us in November. In her last weeks we asked her if there was a theme or topic she would like to see presented and discussed at an upcoming program. She spoke then of her love of fairytales and particularly the tale, “The Three Feathers.” We have chosen this tale as our topic, in part because, like many fairytales, it suggests ways to meet life’s conflicts and challenges. In short, it sheds light upon “what is a life well-lived.”
In the lecture portion of the program Jungian psychoanalyst, Richard Sweeney, will discuss how fairytales portray frequent human conflicts that call for a new attitude or consciousness. As Joseph Campbell once wrote, they “supply the symbols that carry the human spirit forward.” In this program we will examine the central symbols of this tale and explore their relevance for negotiating the personal and cultural conflicts confronting us today. Some dream material and clinical examples will provide additional illustration, and the contributions of participants will also be invited.
Richard J. Sweeney, Ph.D. is a Jungian psychoanalyst and a licensed professional clinical counselor in private practice in Columbus and Cincinnati. He holds a doctoral degree in psychology and religion from the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley and a diploma in analytical psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich, where he remains a member of its international faculty wing.

Gifts of a Life Review of Your Lived and Unlived Life - Presented by Dr. Connie Zweig
2022-05-14 12:30 - 14:00
Scroll down to RSVP to receive the link to this program.
This zoom presentation describes the traditional life review in midlife or beyond as the ego’s life review and adds the dimension of Shadow — how to connect what was expressed with what was repressed. In this way, the unlived life moves into awareness, and we can reclaim some of what was sacrificed. Using an animated Power Point, Dr. Zweig demonstrates how to review and connect our lived lives with our unlived lives, with time built into the program for self-reflection. PLEASE BRING A LARGE PIECE OF PAPER AND PENCIL/PEN.
Connie Zweig, Ph.D., is a retired therapist and writer. Known as the Shadow Expert, she is coauthor of Meeting the Shadow and Romancing the Shadow and author of Meeting the Shadow of Spirituality and a novel, A Moth to the Flame: The Life of Sufi Poet Rumi. Her new bestselling book, The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul, extends her work on the Shadow into midlife and beyond and explores aging as a spiritual practice. It won both the 2021 American Book Fest Award and the 2021 Best Indie Book Award for best inspirational non-fiction. Connie has been doing contemplative practices for more than 50 years. She is a wife, stepmother, and grandmother. After all these roles, she’s practicing the shift from role to soul.

In-Person, Experiential Workshop on Active Imagination, Presented by Maggi Colwell - View Also a Video Preview
2022-06-11 10:00 - 12:00 | First Community, 1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43212
Here is a brief preview video with Maggi.

Opportunities for engagement in art making activities will be included for this workshop. No art “talent” is necessary. Suggested minimum donation of $5 for material costs. Donate here. Scroll below to RSVP, please, so that Maggi has an idea of supplies they will need.
JACO Board member Maggi Colwell will be leading an in-person, experiential workshop on one of Jung’s core methods of Active Imagination and how you can incorporate active imagination for working with your dreams, art, and fantasies as an enriching part of your personal practice.
The word image and imagination come from the Latin word imago meaning “to imitate” or to form an image in the mind from a picture. This word speaks to the roots of how humans learn, form schemas, and use symbols. The imagination is the internal “image maker.” This is the same image-maker that utilizes symbols and images in our dreams.
In this workshop, Maggi, an art therapist, will lead an experiential process with participants to get hands-on experience with active imagination to work with your own symbols and images. Active imagination, as created by Carl Jung is a method for engaging with your unconscious that is outside normal rational cognitive thought. Like light trance, meditation, or daydreaming, active imagination exercises and techniques will be explored.
This workshop will be in person, experiential, and hands-on rather than lecture focused.
Maggi Colwell, MS, ATR-BC recognized a deep interest for both creativity and dreams at a young age. As a child, they had a burning desire for painting. They found the symbolism in renaissance paintings fascinating and the strangeness of surrealism enthralling. Maggi now considers their relationship with art-making a conversation with their soul.
Professionally, Maggi received their Masters in Art Therapy from Florida State University and is a board-certified, registered art therapist. Maggi lives in Columbus Ohio and is the owner of Chiron Art Therapy, where they have a private practice in art therapy. They focus on their client’s symbolism in their artwork, dreams, and archetypal patterns in their lives. You can find out more from columbusarttherapy.com.

The I Ching as Conversational Partner, with JACO Member Jeanne Marlowe
2022-07-09 10:00 - 12:00 | First Community, 1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43212
Because this will be an in-person event and we need to reserve space, it would be immensely helpful if you would RSP below, please. Thank you!
For important decisions, sorting priorities, puzzling dreams, learn an easy, wise way to consult the I Ching and move toward Tao – the union, dissolution, and reintegration of opposites. A few minutes of writing your deep thoughts and feelings about an emotional issue helps you ask the right questions. Hear examples from Jung, John Beebe’s Integrity in Depth, and Nathan Schwartz-Salant’s The Order-Disorder Paradox. Bring your questions and experience, especially an I Ching response that became important in your life.

Jeanne journaled over 400 I Ching queries over the past 29 years and felt enriched by every response. She will bring her Workbook compiling results for each of the 64 hexagrams – yes, she’s received all 64. She thrives on small group dialogue and currently leads a monthly writing group, open to all, at the Columbus Public Library.

ARCHETYPES AND TAROT Workshop 1 of 2, With Judy Anne Morse and Belinda Gore
2022-09-07 19:00 - 21:00 | First Community, 1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43212
This will be a two-part workshop. Scroll below to register for Part 1, please.

Tarot is a wisdom teaching expressed through 78 cards known as the Major and Minor Arcana, or Mysteries. While Jung did not write about Tarot, the “Fool”s Journey” through the Tarot leads us through the path of individuation. It is a teaching that can be used as a sacred oracle, a focus for meditation, and spiritual path for living.
In Part One of this two-part workshop, you will learn:

The history of Tarot;
The structure of the Tarot deck, with suits, court cards and trump cards;
The differences among the three major types of decks – Marseille, Rider-Waite, and Thoth;
The archetypal significance of the numbers and elements in the Minor Arcana (similar to a regular deck of playing cards);
How the Major Arcana track an archetypal path of initiation or individuation;
Four simple well-known “spreads” for using Tarot for guidance based on Jung’s concept of synchronicity: a single card spread, a three card spread, the Celtic Cross, and the Emperor’s Square.

We will conclude with an exercise in which you can determine your personal soul card and personality card from the Major Arcana. These are your guiding archetypes.
Part Two includes these topics:

Differentiating Tarot from oracle cards;
Integrating the guidance from a reading through journalling, collage, poetry and storytelling;
Learning about the influence of the “family” cards, also known as the court cards;
Layering the meaning of each card using correspondences with sound, color, astrology and Kabbalah;
How to choose a deck for yourself and how to personalize your deck;
A review of recommended resources: books, websites, and major companies that publish Tarot decks.

2022-09-10 10:00 - 12:00 | First Community, 1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43212
Jim will discuss Jungian psychology through the lens of his experience as an artist. Several years ago Jung Currents featured musings on the Cosmic Egg/the World egg, at which time Jim was inspired to write the following lyrical words that are a great introduction to his soaring spirit:
“Oh cosmic egg progenitor of all, your eternal roundness speaks of the round thing, the oneness of the universe. Endless light wraps your curves. Whiteness – Darkness When your shadow eclipses worlds we shudder, gather in community and sing incantations of redemptive love. OM
When you are opened the great flame rises to the endless heavens freeing the tongues of prophetic fire to speak!”
Though this is a free Zoom program, we ask that you RSVP below please. Getting an idea of the number of participants will help Jim plan his format. Thank you!

2022-10-14 19:00 - 20:30 | First Community North Campus, 3777 Dublin Rd., Columbus, Ohio 43221, 3777 Dublin Rd, Columbus, OH, 43221, United States

Carl Jung’s interest in alchemy came to him in 1928 after he had read The Secret of the Golden Flower, a book on Chinese meditation and alchemy from the late Tang dynasty (618–907). By the time he read the book Jung had been investigating the processes of the collective unconscious for 15 years. The book’s trope suggests the opening of consciousness to light—the journey through darkness, transformation, and transcendence. For the first time, Jung felt that he was on the right track in finding the “long-sought connecting link between Gnosis and the processes of the collective unconscious that can be observed in modern man.” (CW 20, Alchemical Studies, p.4). Our presenter, Stan Marlan, recognizes that a ‘linking of light and darkness sets the stage for a fundamental and recurring theme in both alchemy and Jungian psychology” —the unity of opposites. And that “[w]hen these tensions are held together, they catalyze a symbol-making process that produces complex archetypal images that exceed rational categories” and lead toward wholeness. (Marlan, C.J. Jung and the Alchemical Imagination, p.2).
On Friday evening, Marlan will introduce the audience to Jung’s alchemical world—why it was so important to Jung, alchemy’s basic concepts and symbolism, and how it functions as a metaphor for individuation. At the workshop on Saturday, he will continue to build upon these concepts and explore the mysterious goal of the alchemical process—the Philosopher’s Stone. He will incorporate the teachings of individuals such as Edward Edinger, Marie Louise von Franz, and James Hillman as a means of developing our understanding of Jung’s alchemical teachings; how images function in a very particular way; and, how alchemical concepts such as fire and heat can relate to the care of our own psychic wounds. Marlan will illustrate alchemical teachings using case material and dreams. He will also engage participants in discussion of their questions and comments.

But please do not let this suggested donation keep you from coming. You will be welcomed with all our heart.
Spiritual Director and Jungian Analyst, Janice Bachman, O.P. will lead an exploration of dream work as a source for insight and deeper self-understanding. She will share practices of listening and learning from the language of dreams that provide wisdom and enrichment for our waking life. We will look at the archetypal nature of symbols and their meaning to learn the art of translating dream messages into a language we can understand and meaningfully bring into our lives. Dreams are unique gifts given to each of us. Dreams connect us to a source of wisdom beyond the ego and can heal and guide us on our journey to become more whole persons. In this program we will discuss classical elements of Jungian dream work and situate this content within the larger arena of world events, the collective unconscious, individual psychological development and spiritual growth.
Janice is on the summer faculty at Creighton University, Omaha, NE, where she teaches in the Graduate Program in Christian Spirituality. She holds a masters’ degree in Christian Spirituality from Creighton University, a diploma in Analytical Psychology from the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts (Toronto), and an MBA from Xavier University, Cincinnati.

Join us for an exciting, foundational Tarot course. We will explore the importance of number (1-10 Minor Arcana) and the elemental energies of the suits (Fire/Wands, Water/Cups. Air/Swords.Earth/Pentacles). This foundational understanding and your own intuitive knowing will guide you through any tarot reading with any tarot deck. We will be using the standard Rider-Waite Smith deck in this course. We will explore various spreads beginning with an annual reading to determine your monthly cards for 2023. You will also learn one-card, two-card and three-cards spreads for quick, accurate readings for everyday life. We will then expand into more detailed five-card readings as your
familiarity with your deck increases. We will also be keeping a Tarot journal to record your readings and compile useful information in building your Tarot practice. All levels of Tarot experience are
welcome.

The workshop will consist of 6 sessions, two hours each, from 7 to 9 pm

Virtual Art Exhibit - Faust in Precious Stone
2023-01-31 08:00 - 2023-05-01 16:30
In Goethe’s Faust Jung found a key to understanding how individual consciousness is integrated with the personal as well as the collective unconscious. The images in the cameo collection “Faust in Precious Stone” capture the story of a dialogue between God and the Devil, a pact made with the Devil, a hedonistic journey, encounters with the shadow, a tragic fall, encounters with the numinous and transformation.
The images in this virtual art exhibit were provided by the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Chicago. They are beautifully presented in a striking book by Bruce McKay titled “Faust in Precious Stone: Cameo Carvings by Hans Dieter Roth and Andreas Roth”.
To go to the virtual art exhibit, which features both the cameos and comments from a Jungian perspective, and where additional information is provided, click here. https://www.jungcentralohio.org/gallery/

The Profound Influence of Faust on Jung, Presented by Terry Malinowski and Sandy Pfening
2023-02-11 10:00 - 12:00 | First Community, 1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio 43212
This program will be delivered both in-person (1320 Cambridge Blvd., Columbus, Ohio) as well as by zoom. To register, please scroll below. A zoom link will be sent to all registrants.
In Goethe’s Faust Jung found a key to understanding how individual consciousness is integrated with the personal as well as the collective unconscious. Jung used this story as source material for the psychology of the individuation process. Goethe’s drama begins with the deeply human confrontation of good and evil, in the form of the psychological shadow. Part Two describes the alchemical transformation of leaden instinctual drives to the gold of transcendence. Here is that remarkable place in human consciousness where power is not defined by personal drives nor collective archetypes. Instead the self unifies and embodies “the eternal feminine”, which Jung describes as “sapientia dei”.

Terry is originally from the Western NY area. After graduating from engineering at Purdue, he joined the Peace Corps. He served as a volunteer on the island of Pohnpei in the South Pacific for six years in the early 70s. Living in a traditional island culture for several years significantly shaped his world view. He became fluent in the language and culture and served as a cross-cultural teacher in two Peace Corps training programs on Pohnpei. After Peace Corps, he lived in Honolulu for 17 years where he completed 3 graduate degrees including one in cultural anthropology. In 1993, he moved to Columbus, Ohio where he continued working in health care until 2013. Terry has been active with JACO for over 25 years and has presented over 10 lectures on a wide variety of topics to the Jung Haus over the years. He also has worked with different Jungian analysts for over the past 30+ years. For the past few years, he has been studying Friedrich Nietzsche writings and his significant impact on the work of Carl Jung.
Sandy is a long-time member of JACO and highly regarded Jungian scholar who has presented many rich programs as well as co-presented with Terry. She has served JACO in multiple leadership roles.
On February 1 the JACO web site will feature a virtual art exhibit of Faust cameos, accompanied by references to Jungian psychology.

Necessary Fictions: Therapy as the Critique of “Stories” - A Talk Based on His Recently Published Book "The Broken Mirror: Refracted Visions of Ourselves" - Presented by Dr. James Hollis
2023-03-03 19:00 - 20:30
This will be a zoom program. To register, please scroll below to “Tickets”. CEUs (1.5) are available for licensed psychologists. Cost is $15 for non-members and $2 for members. Scroll below to purchase. We are so so sorry but because of a change in our systems processing and the delay that resulted, we have not been able to secure approval yet for CSWMFT CEUs, though it is working its way through the CSWMFT system, which is separate from the OPA system. We hope we receive it before March 3 but we cannot guarantee it.
We are creatures who need to understand, at any cost. And so we “story” our experiences, and those stories, provisional, localized, and often created at an early stage of our history, become defining narratives. The disarray of our histories nevertheless can be a powerful clue to the “meta-stories” to which we have been in service for many years. Therapy can be understood as the identification of and critical analysis of our operative or “meta-stories.” Until these “narrative interpretations” can be smoked out, we remain their captive. In a series of questions, we will be invited to examine the stories we have been serving, and then engage stories that honor what wants to unfold from within us.

Learn why we create “stories” to explain our lives, and then get trapped by our stories.
Differentiate the “story” of the complex from a “meta-story” that governs a client’s life.
Support the growth of a “story” larger than those generated by the client’s necessary defensive narratives.
