"Embodying the Dream: Making Conscious Connection with Psyche,"
a course with Sondra Geller, M.A., A.T.R.-B.C., L.P.C.
Where: Jung Society Library
Fees: $100, members in advance; $125, general $75, full-time student members and senior members

This will be an intimate group of no more than 9 participants. We will each have the opportunity to bring one of our own dreams to the group. Within the safety of the temenos, we will explore the personal and archetypal symbolism of our dreams and begin to recognize and understand recurring dream images. We may use active imagination, art, and movement to amplify the dream work, hence offering an experience of embodying: making conscious connection with psyche. All are invited; older adults will be especially welcomed.

Fees: $15, members in advance; $20, general; $10, senior and student members

How do love and power figure in our personal as well as intimate relationships? What is "falling in love?" It is no coincidence that the Special Person in our life is a constant source of frustration and agony. It is also no coincidence that the Special Person can be a source and resource in our journey into wholeness. Ahead of his time, Jung described the unconscious and archetypal processes that include our parents, our temperament, our environment and our complexes.

In today's world we now understand that falling in love also includes the biochemistry as well as the emotional memory center of the brain. But most importantly, the Garden of Eden of Love eventually leads to the Gates of Hell and an opportunity to identify our early wounds and the unconscious patterns that keep us stuck in our intimate relationships. That very Special Person we fall in love with inevitably becomes a source of frustration and activates shadow and the darker side of power that can lead to consciousness and transformation.

"Tissue Paper Collage," a workshop with Sondra Geller, M.A., A.T.R.-B.C., L.P.C.
Where: Memorial Hall, The Jung Society of Washington
Fees: $50, members in advance; $75, general; $40, full-time students and senior members

In an all-day workshop, we will explore the unique creative process of tissue paper collage as developed by the late Dr. Edith Wallace, esteemed Jungian analyst, art therapist, and in the minds of many, a mystic.

The process of working with brilliantly colored art tissue, tearing it in random shapes, and then gluing it down, again in random, intuitively guided patterns invites the creative in its most fundamental form. Collaging in this way is a direct road to the unconscious. Participants experience surprise, delight, playfulness, perhaps fear, sadness, and anger as they learn to read and do active imagination with the shapes appearing out of the chaos of brilliant colors. Then we use basic movement to ampllify the imagery. This use of movement helps us to embody the experience so that we actually begin to know in our bodies what shadow, persona, anima, etc. feel like. It is a deep, enriching process. Some say that it is transformative. No previous experience with art is necessary.

Wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty, bring a brown-bag lunch and come prepared for the discovery of your inner landscapes. This workshop is limited to 25.
