Saturdays, March 16th - April 20th, 9:30-11:30am PDT | ~6:30pm UK
“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. It may even be assumed that just as the unconscious affects us, so the increase in our consciousness affects the unconscious.” — Carl Jung, “Memories, Dreams, Reflections”
About this seminar: For so many people, Carl Jung’s memoir, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, provides an entryway into his psychology. It’s a book filled with stories from Jung’s life—from childhood through to a profound near-death experience—but with a constant awareness of the inner world as well as the political and religious context of his surroundings.
In this six-part seminar, we will have an opportunity to explore this work together, diving into the classic stories that make up Jung’s history and the complex ideas that always beckon for greater understanding.
Whether you’ve read this classic work several times or have yet to crack its covers, our session gatherings and lectures will broaden your understanding of the text and bring to life so many timeless ideas.
Fridays, May 10th - June 14th, 9-11am PDT | 5-7pm UK
“Dreams cannot prevent us from the vicissitudes and illness and sad events of human existence, but they seem to be able to give us a guiding line how to cope with them and how to find meaning in our life and how to fulfill our own destiny, how to follow our own star, to realize the greater potential of life within us.” —Marie-Louise von Franz
About this seminar: This practice of community dreamwork has been an enlivening opportunity to join with others who are interested in expanding their relationship with the unconscious, symbols, and dreams. No prior experience with dreamwork is necessary.
In this series, Satya will introduce some foundational elements of recording and observing dreams for those who are new to the practice, as well as our process of exploring dreams with a community online. Then, in each of our six sessions, Satya will host live dreamwork for two participants who have expressed interest in “working a dream” in a live, interactive format.
Have questions about any of these events? Do you have a request for a future seminar or gathering? Leave a comment!
I would love a seminar on what I hear you calling “detoxifying the patriarchy”!
Yay! I'm so happy to see this amazing lineup, and especially MDR and a new community dreamwork session! I've been meaning to ask you about plans to do one.
