    2013 - 2014 SEASON

    “We are living in what the Greeks called the kairos—the right moment—for a ‘metamorphosis of the gods,’ of the fundamental principles and symbols.” C. G. Jung, The Undiscovered Self

    We live in a paradoxical and simultaneously opportune time. We have global awareness and the power to destroy the globe. We have knowledge of a multitude of religions and yet we are often spiritually bereft.

    It is a unique point in history, ripe for genuine transformation. Come join us as we explore Jung’s message that new principles and symbols are necessary, and as we examine what some of these might be. We do this all within a supportive, welcoming community of mental health professionals and others actively seeking personal awareness, exploration, and growth.

  • Brunch, Film & Discussion: $60; Students $45

    Please join us as we kick off our 26th Season with an evening of conversation, food and drinks - all FREE - plus amazing bargains. Build your library with new and classic Jungian and other psychological works, along with donated books at low prices.

    Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (C.R.A.Z.Y.), Café de Flore captures the power of love in all its euphoric, obsessive, innocent, tragic, and timeless glory, explored through the lives of Jacqueline (Vanessa Paradis) and Antoine (Kevin Parent). Jacqueline is the single mother of a disabled boy in the 1960’s Paris, and Antoine is a DJ in modern day Montreal. As Jacqueline struggles to raise her son and share his attentions, Antoine attempts to balance his relationships. Jung is famous for emphasizing the mysterious and often unrecognized synchronistic association amongst opportune experiences and events across time. What is the relation between what has happened in the past and what will emerge in the future? Is Eros the energy that entwines this moment with the eternal? Is Love the link that leads our daily lives into the everlasting? These interrelationships will be explored in detail in this workshop

    This lecture will describe an approach to spirituality based on personal experience of the sacred, as an alternative to traditional religious approaches. For many of us today, traditional religions do not express the ways in which we experience the sacred. The sacred may appear in ways that are not recognized by the western monotheistic traditions. The depth psychological approach to spirituality focuses on revelation by means of opportune dreams, synchronistic

    This workshop will review Jung’s approach to religion and spirituality, and then present the idea that for many people the practice of depth psychotherapy is a contemporary form of spiritual direction. Instead of thinking of the integration of spiritual direction into psychotherapy and depth psychology (a traditional theistic idea), Dr. Corbett suggests that in using a Jungian approach these disciplines can be viewed as synonymous. The psyche reveals the sacred in the form of numinous experience, and manifests the Self, which is an imago dei; the psyche is therefore sacramental. Because the Self acts as a kind of blueprint for the individuation of the personality, there is no firm distinction between our spirituality and our psychology, or between psychological and spiritual problems. This workshop will illustrate this idea with examples from people’s experience and will articulate the

  • Center for Jungian Studies of South Florida 2013–2014 Season “An Opportune Moment in Time”

    Beasts of the Southern Wild is a film of beauty, integrity and vitality, nominated for four Academy Awards in 2012: Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director. Beasts can be seen as a mythological, symbolic tale. A six-year-old girl, Hushpuppy, grows up with her loving, yet violence-prone father and an absent mother in a place called the Bathtub, in a southern Louisiana bayou community surrounded by water. Through the mind and heart of Hushpuppy, we are in an archetypal poetic realm experiencing the interconnection of matter and spirit. Dr. Jung would have enjoyed this story as a symbolic quest within the process of one’s personal psyche as well as an example of a collective myth of renewal and transformation. (3 CEUs)*

    In his latest work, Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts Who Run Our Lives, renowned Jungian analyst James Hollis considers how we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms—spirits, ghosts, ancestral and parental influences, inner voices, dreams, impulses, untold stories, complexes, synchronicities, and mysteries—which move through us in our present lives and through history as appearances at opportune moments. He offers a way to understand them psychologically, examining the persistence of the past influencing our present, conscious lives and noting that engagement with mystery is what

    We live in a dramatic period in the history of the world, with high stakes for the planetary future. We need every available source of relevant insight into the collective and individual psychological conditions that affect this future. Archetypal astrology can serve as one of these sources, shedding clarifying light on how events and trends throughout the world at a given time are meaningfully connected—political events, social trends, the music, the arts, and films, scientific discoveries, and collective psychological tendencies. When we examine the synchronistic waves of events in terms of their underlying archetypes, historical patterns that unfold cyclically through the centuries come into focus. Like paying attention to weather reports before setting out to sail on a windy day, awareness of ongoing planetary transits can help us appreciate the synchronistic events, and live both more skillfully. It can also provide a powerful lens for us to discern the deeper evolutionary currents moving through history. In this workshop, we will explore the major planetary alignments and

    Our time in history is pervaded by a great paradox. We are more globally aware of what is happening to our fellow human beings and to all that is living on the planet than at any other time. However, we also confront the most critical, and in some respects catastrophic, state of the Earth in human history. As Jung would suggest, the past and the future are converging with extraordinary force. Old structures are cracking, the moment of creative chaos is upon us: What new principles, what new structures will emerge to shape our future?

    UNDERSTANDING OUR MOMENT IN HISTORY: IS MODERN HUMANITY UNDERGOING A RITE OF PASSAGE? Richard Tarnas, Ph.D.

    This is much like what takes place on the individual level in initiatory rites of passage, in near-death experiences, in spiritual crises, and in critical stages of what Jung called the individuation process. Can we find grounding, an eye in the storm, from which we can engage this time of intense polarization and radical change? What is the role of “heroic” communities like Jungian associations that carry principles and perspectives running counter to the mainstream modern worldview? (2 CEUs)*

    UNDERSTANDING OUR MOMENT IN HISTORY: AN ARCHETYPAL ASTROLOGICAL PERSPECTIVERichard Tarnas, Ph.D.

    archetypal forces currently at work that may suggest how we can develop more fully as individuals. (6 CEUs)*

He frequently lectures abroad as well as at various Jung institutes and societies throughout the U.S. He is on the Board of Governors of the C. J. Jung Institute of San Francisco.
