Drawing Projections: Jung and Films
This seminar aims to explore psychological themes through the visual narrative structures of selected films. We will focus on a rather common theme in therapy: anxiety. We will use three films to discuss the personal and archetypal patterns of anxiety as seen through the eye of the camera.
The films will be shown at ISAP and will be followed by a discussion led by the presenters. We wish to provide the opportunity of the collective experience of viewing a film together followed by the chance to share ideas and impressions.

Active Imagination – The Special Legacy of C.G. Jung
The lecture will be related to Chiara Tozzi’s research on Active Imagination and the resulting book published by Routledge. On the first day the lecture will focus predominantly on Active Imagination theory, practice and training. On the second day the lecture will focus on different fields related to Active Imagination, with special reference to Active Imagination and film language.
Complementarity and the Struggle for Wholeness
Complementarity is a key principle of life, creativity, healing and peace. It means teaming up with an utterly other—be it sexual, political or even unconscious. As diversity is the lot of the manifest world and unity rather a transcendent principle, wholeness requires the utmost individual effort to unite opposites. It requires a great deal of respect for the other while consciously limiting oneself. Our fragmented and polarized world would profit from concentration on and orientation to this life principle. With examples from biology, psychology (individuation, alchemy, gender), politics (war, democracy) and dance.

Introduction To Authentic Movement
I will give an introduction to the practice of Authentic Movement, which is a form of Active Imagination. I will introduce body work to create a safe environment in which exercises in body awareness, emotional awareness and kinesthetic communication can take place. The theory will also be explained. Authentic Movement explores the inner-directed movement as a way to bridge the realms of conscious and unconscious experience.
Participants are requested to wear comfortable clothes, to take off their shoes before entering the room, to bring anti-slip socks, paper and a pen.

Lady Soul
“Soul” is a familiar word for Jungians. In spite of this, the notion tends to remain somewhat vague. Using a mythological figure as its archetypal foundation, this lecture aims to contribute to our understanding of soul as a specific psychological entity.

02 Psychology of Dreams
An Example of Jungian Dream Interpretation
Concepts of Analytical Psychology will be explored and applied to one of Jung’s dreams from Memories, Dreams, Reflections.
Masculine Figures in Dreams: The Meaning and Value of Jung’s Concept of the Animus
The best way to understand the sometimes confusing and controversial concept of the animus is to look at what the male figures in dreams—from baby boys to old men—may be depicting. For simplicity’s sake we will focus on male figures in the dreams of women; it can, however, be argued that men’s psyches are also inhabited by the autonomous animus that Jung described.
As a natural scientist and a Jungian Analyst, I show how the evolution of our biology and our psyche can reveal what male means in dreams. We will then be able to recognize the tremendous value of the concept of the animus.
“When the Bough Breaks...”: Dreaming the Lost Child. Perinatal and Early Infant Loss Dreams
This lecture will present an overview of the unique nature of childbearing loss and the parents’ ensuing search for meaning. Based on the dreams of parents gathered while I was a consultant to the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Center in Minnesota, this lecture will outline mourning within the context of Neumann’s “archetype of the way”. I will explore how dreams of the lost child enhance the full expression of grief by maintaining an emotional connection between the parents and the child throughout the intermediate realm of the “Here and the Hereafter”.
Dreams in the Face of Disability, Illness and Death: Interpretation of a Dream Series
I will interpret a series of helpful and consoling dreams of a woman during her final year of life.
Dreams as Simulations: Analytical Psychology and Cognitive Science
The lecture will explore how modern cognitive research on dreams as simulations can be compared with Jungian dream theory. I will be discussing research on dreaming in rats and birds as well as the use of simulation games for practicing high risk undertakings. I will also be looking at human dreams that challenge our ability to deal with awkward social situations; such dreams help us expand our repertoire of coping strategies.
Dreams and Creativity
Dreams can not only help us find solutions to complex problems, they can also offer solutions to simpler problems. Their seemingly chaotic messages provide us with challenges that actually help us learn to deal with chaos and, therefore, to become more creative.

Grimms’ Fairy Tale “Allerleirauh” (or “All-Kinds-of-Fur”) and the Liberation of the Feminine from the Dominating Father Archetype
In this lecture the fairy tale “Allerleirauh” about the incestuous wishes of a king towards his daughter is interpreted. What does incest mean symbolically and psychologically? What can this fairy tale tell us about how a woman can deal with incest or incestuous wishes from her father? How can a daughter with a negative father complex free herself? How can the archetypal feminine (Eros principle) be developed in a society dominated by the archetypal masculine (Logos principle)?

Waking the Sleeping Beauty: Archetypal Passages of Transformation in the Feminine
Drawing from experience and casework, I explore the instinctual/biological basis of the Feminine. The fact that she is seen as both nurturing and destructive indicates that her manifestation as a killing force has a purpose: to push toward consciousness. An introduction to fairy tales highlights the archetypal basis of transformation; links to real-life experiences show how these processes manifest today. This lecture aims to deepen our understanding of what Jung meant by the feminine archetype, emphasizing her connection to the body and her instinctual roots while encouraging active participation in order to bring the content to life.

“Double, Double, Toil, and Trouble ...”: The Wrath of the Injured Feminine
When we ignore the emotional impact of our behavior on others, we can deeply wound them. If this emotional injury is not processed, it can be projected and acted out. We will examine cases in Greek drama of explosive rage and retaliation. We will ask what reparations might have been made. What role does culture play? How may we heal from relational wounds?
Rock Art and Psyche: Rock Paintings, Hunting and the Emergence of Directed Consciousness
How did early humans experience the origin of consciousness – or at least the prerequisites for it? I propose to explore this issue by having a closer look at rock art in connection with hunters and hunting. By using slides and videos as well as stories and myths, I will try to shed some light on the crucial importance of rock art regarding that extraordinary turning point in the evolution of the hominids: the origin of consciousness and the emergence of humans as the “symbolic species”.

Facing the Ecological Abyss: A Collective Search for Transformation
In E.A. Poe’s short story “A Descent into the Maelström” (1841) three fishermen are trapped in a gigantic ocean whirlpool that is threatening to destroy them. This strikes me as a suitable image for our ecological crisis. According to Jung, modern materialistic collective consciousness has lost its spiritual foundation. Building on Erich Neumann and Dorothee Sölle, I examine approaches toward a more mystical relationship with nature. Symbolically, Poe’s story tells us that psychic transformation of the collective can be achieved by letting go of the old and embracing the new and unknown.

Denial in the Collective Shadow: Easing the Ego, Suppling the Self, Settling the Soul
I will examine the human defence of denial through a series of lenses in the body-mind referring to evidence- based, neuroscientific, somatic, and depth psychological approaches (including the roles of the Ego-Self, the Sacred Feminine, the Psychoid, and the Soul). We will try to better understand what is happening in the body-mind when the defence instinct arises, appearing as a complex. I will be referring to Jung, Neumann, Krieger, selected trauma specialists, Bedford-Ulanov, L. Stein, Vaughan-Lee, Canty and Hübl.

First lecture: on political consciousness, psychopolitical healing and conspiracy theories. How does the Jungian theory of complexes explain the stability of oppressive political regimes? What does Jung’s study of flying saucers tell us about the recent proliferation of conspiracy theories?
Second lecture: on fanaticism and societal polarization. Jung viewed fanaticism as resulting from the repression of secret doubts about one’s political or religious “truths.” How can this insight help us to understand populism, the life cycle of fanatical Islamists and societal polarization?

The Alchemical Journey: Transrational Dimensions of Psychic Healing
In 1940 Jung stated that, “...alchemy [strives] to help a psychic potentiality hidden in unconscious nature to develop and unfold in the greatest possible way, by working from inside out, removing hinderances to the soul in its striving towards light.” Jung realized our journey to wholeness is mirrored in alchemical substances, colors, and laboratory operations. In this presentation, I use alchemical images to explore specific alchemical stages that allow us to work through “hinderances to the soul.” Emphasis will be on the dimensions of transrational experiences which are important for our healing process.

The Meaning of Suffering
There are four factors that must be considered by a therapist/analyst when attempting to gain a clearer understanding of mental illness. These factors are biological, psychological, social and existential/spiritual. Each factor must be considered if we wish to come to a comprehensive understanding of mental illness. However, in this context, I will limit myself to the existential/spiritual and psychological factors.

The Alchemy of Winemaking
We will explore the steps of winemaking; examining the psychological symbolism of the steps, we shine light on the origins of wine’s religious significance. By treating the steps of winemaking as alchemical images, winemaking becomes a metaphor and guide to the coniunctio. The aim of this lecture is to present the nature of various alchemical states and operations and to reflect on their relationship to individuation.
“The Undiscovered Self ”: Individuation and Participation in Times of Turmoil
Jung’s essay “The Undiscovered Self” (“Gegenwart und Zukunft”), written in the late 1950s, holds insights about the purpose and role of cultivating interiority and a religious attitude in times of political and social turmoil. In this lecture I analyze the text and engage in a discussion of what we can learn about ways of navigating individuation and collective participation in today’s turbulent world.

The Shadow Within Us and Our Narcissism: A Connection?
What does our narcissism have to do with the shadow within us? The shadow contains the uncomfortable, unaccepted sides in us; thus, confronting the shadow is a difficult process in the work. It is even more delicate to track down the link with narcissistic behaviour. To compensate for the shadow, a person may develop a kind of “negative narcissism.” The lecture will study these connections as well as the difference between positive and negative narcissism.
