Schedule of Upcoming Lectures & Workshops
FAIRY TALE INTERPRETATION WORKSHOP
The purpose of the workshop is to work through a Grimm’s Fairy Tale and complete a Jungian Interpretation of the material. The basis for the interpretation will be the practical guidelines developed from Marie-Louise von Franz’s ideas by Jungian Analyst Catherine Moreau. Members of the workshop will work on small groups (2 or 3) for part of the session. By the end of the workshop, all participants should have a solid understanding of the Jungian approach to the interpretation of fairy tales. Pre-registration is required. The fairy tale will be provided to you at the previous evening’s lecture.

Jungian Interpretation of Film – Pan’s Labyrinth
“….the experience of film offers a special place where the psyche can come alive, be experienced and be commented upon.” (Hauke, 2002, p. 2)
Pan’s Labyrinth has been described as a modern day fairy tale. Whatever your perspective, the movie, like all forms of art, clearly demonstrates central ideas within Jungian theory. First, we’ll all view the movie together. After the movie is shown, the lecture will begin with a brief overview of core aspects of Jungian theory as applied to the interpretation of film. Following this will be an open discussion of what the movie means to the viewer. The movie enables us appreciate ideas such as Archetypes, Shadow, Anima, Animus, Inflation, and Individuation.
Whether you have little knowledge of Jungian theory through to being a Jungian expert, you’ll find a commonality in the open discussion. We all enjoy and feel transformed by movies.

Jungian Dream Interpretation Group
The aim of this 7 session course is for a small group (max. 6) to learn how to interpret their dreams using Jung’s Analytical Psychology. We will start with a clear overview of approaches to a Jungian dream interpretation, and then work with our dreams in the group. The personal material presented is treated with respect and care, and participants can offer valuable insights into our dreams in this atmosphere. No previous experience is required.
Jung viewed the dream as offering a valid perspective on the psychic situation as it is now. The manner in which we interpret our dreams, and integrate them into our daily lives can provide us with powerful impetus for change. Working with dreams enables us to embrace the symbolic life and, hopefully, gain a deeper sense of meaning.
Dates : Wednesday mornings, from 13th October, 2010 – 24th November, 2010
Times : 10:00 – 12:00
