The Soul in Repose - A Healing Moment to Lift Us Up
2020-11-20 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Still waters that calm the mind. A resting place for all our troubled thoughts.
In the ending weeks of this anxious year, John Schuster, Jung student and friend of JACO, will lead us in an interlude of healing thoughts, poetry, and music. This is a brief program, only 40 minutes long, and is being offered because a community focused on healing thoughts can act as a balm for the spirit. As a Friday night event we are thinking of it as an evening prayer for peace and serenity to hold us in the mantle of ever-present grace and a call to maintaining faith in our future. We hope very much that you can join us November 20 at 7:30 pm for a heartfelt community event. Because this is a Zoom presentation you will need to RSVP (scroll down to the rsvp) by noon November 20 in order for us to send you the link. We look forward to being together with you.

Program Description: C.G. Jung often said that large-scale historical events are neither sudden nor accidental but emerge from evolving unconscious forces. Consciousness always presses us to discover the nature of these forces. In this program we will begin to probe the meaning of the current pandemic and our responses to it.
Friday evening’s session will explore “The Pandemic as a Natural and Psychic Phenomenon.” We will consider two divergent historical views of the human relationship to nature and contrast them with Jung’s view of the relationship between psyche, spirit and nature. This will lead to a reflection on Jung’s concept of the anima mundi or “the soul of the world” and its relevance for our lives today.
Saturday’s session will address “Anxiety as a Response to Life’s Disruptions.” We will consider the increase of anxiety in our lives today, various understandings of anxiety, and a Jungian approach to anxiety that can serve personal, interpersonal and global development. In this view, disruptions like the pandemic as well as other difficulties in life can be experienced as potential vehicles of the movement toward wholeness. Practical examples and suggestions will be offered along with opportunity for participant discussion.

Encountering the Other: The White Shadow - A Talk with Karen Naifeh, Ph.D.

How can we who identify as White learn to recognize the myriad things we do – often unconsciously – that are offensive to people of African heritage, Native Americans, and other People of Color. As members of the dominant group in our society we have learned not to see embedded forms of racism and oppression in our attitudes, conversation, and general behavior. In order to make lasting change, we are challenged to understand what forces keep unconscious racial bias alive and active. One answer lies in the concept of a Cultural Shadow, in this case the White Shadow in American society.
This presentation by Dr. Naifeh will draw on writings of Jung and post-Jungian writers such as Kimbles, Singer and Brewster, as well as examples from philosophy, relational psychoanalysis, film and literature to depict the Cultural Shadow. In one of his 1925 lectures Jung diagrammed the geology of the personality. Post-Jungian writers have connected the Cultural Shadow with archetypal evil and the formation of negative cultural complexes. An exploration of this powerful connection can lead us to new ways of understanding how the sense of Other is created and maintained in the psyche, thereby revealing ways for us to bring the Cultural Shadow into consciousness.
Dr. Naifeh’s talk will include dialogue about how to recognize how the Cultural Shadow impacts us personally and practical ways to deal with it.
Dr. Naifeh is co-chair of the ad hoc Committee on Diversity and Inclusivity and an analyst member of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. She holds doctorate degrees in medical physiology and in clinical psychology. She teaches candidates in the GCJISF’s analytic training program and clinic internship program and supervises doctoral interns in the Institute Clinic. She is a clinical supervisor at the Women’s Therapy Center in Berkeley.

The Racial Complex: A Conversation on Racism, Shadow and the Personal Unconscious - A Talk with Fanny Brewster, Ph.D., M.F.A
2020-07-11 10:00 - 11:30

Just as the coloured man lives in your cities and even within your houses, so also he lives under your skin, subconsciously. Naturally it works both ways. Just as every Jew has a Christ complex, so every Negro has a white complex and every American (white) a Negro complex.
C.G. Jung Collected Works, Vol. 10, para 963
When we open the door of Jungian psychology, crossing the threshold to meet our racial complexes, the best way to proceed is gently. As our collective engages and struggles with issues of mortality, violence and racial relations, we are all affected in the most profound ways. Talking with one another, the hallmark of depth psychology, has always been a path to considerations of healing and wholeness. It can also teach us more about compassion as we begin to understand the human narrative of those we consider “Other”. Let us talk to one another in a way that opens our hearts, our deeper selves connected to personal racial complexes, and archetypal energies. Let us spend time together investigating what we desire to learn, engaging our ego and our unconscious shadowed selves, and releasing our fears in service of deepening consciousness.
Dr. Brewster is a Jungian analyst and Professor of Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is a writer of nonfiction including African Americans and Jungian Psychology: Leaving the Shadows ((Routledge, 2017), Archetypal Grief: Slavery’s Legacy of Intergenerational Child Loss (Routledge, 2018) and The Racial Complex: A Jungian Perspective on Culture and Race. (Routledge, 2019) Her poems have been published in Psychological Perspectives Journal where she was the Featured Poet as well as in other journals. Dr. Brewster is a lecturer and workshop presenter on Jungian related topics that address American Culture, Diversity and Creativity. She is a faculty member at the New York C.G. Jung Foundation and an analyst member with the Philadelphia Association of Jungian Analysts. She has received two Gradiva Award nominations for her writing from the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis.

Virginia shared a useful model and helpful personal practices that we can use to bolster us during such a powerful period of uncertainty. May we each take away a pearl from this strand of reflection and wisdom.” Kathy Cleveland Bull, member of the C.G. Jung Association of Central Ohio Board

An Interview with Dr. Richard Sweeney on the Coronavirus Pandemic
2020-04-17 08:00 - 2020-04-30 23:30
“I have been thinking, like everyone else I am sure, about tangible ways JACO can contribute something, an offering of sorts, to ease the fear and anxiety that people are feeling now in our community. Since we are unable to meet in person to support one another, I envisioned a virtual chat with our Jungian Wisdom Guides. And who better to launch our series of conversations than our own beloved, Dick Sweeney. This short 30-minute video is the first of what we hope will be several video chats that will provide context, insight and illumination during this walk into unknown territory. In this first episode, I ask Dick to help us understand what is going on, and what am I to do about it!” – Kathy Cleveland Bull

In soft whispers and quiet evocations
we are called by soul to seek the depth of a thing,
to wonder what else, or who else is present
in the cavernous mystery of lived experience. – Mary Harrell
Our unconscious offers insight and wisdom made available through guides like dreams, symbols and figures that may appear subtly in ways that affect us deeply. Harrell’s work explains how we can interact with and learn from these manifestations of the psyche. Through facilitated dialogue, we will explore concepts from Dr. Harrell’s books and share our own understandings and experiences in a safe and supportive circle.
You do not have to have attended the first session to participate in the second and although reading the book in advance is desirable, it is not a condition of attendance.

Saturday Workshop: Tiny, dependent, and at the mercy of the world around us, we all have to adapt, adjust, bury, deny, split-off and repress, and thereby lose contact with our own sovereignty and natural source of guidance. The core project of the second half of life is the recovery of that source. This workshop will focus on twenty-one steps we may take toward the recovery of our personal journey.

Friday Night Lecture: Jung observed that “Life is a short pause between two great mysteries.” That fact is not in dispute; what matters then, is how we live that pause. E. M. Forster observed that the two who could most illumine us, the corpse and the baby, are not talking. Given that mortality frames our journey, how might we live it more fully, not defined by fear, morbidity, and denial? What attitudes and practices allow us to live more fully? And what psychological maturation bring us to experience this short pause as rich with meaning?
