The Archetype of the Father

June 20, 2009

 

The impact upon us of our fathers, whether biological or adopted, cannot be minimized.  We may carry memories that are positive or painful, but the effect of those encounters with our “fathers” have in part made us who we are, for better or for worse. However, in addition to these ripples in our outer life, there are also archetypal  ripples moving intrapsychically.  The Greek god Zeus is often associated with the archetype of the Father, especially the image of him wielding his thunderbolts. But he also demonstrated  support, peacemaking, caring, fairness, and protection. These aspects of the archetypal Father are also moving within us and seeking expression in both men and women. We will revisit those experiences in our lives that have wounded us and encouraged us. But we will also address how those essential and necessary archetypal patterns of the Father might be unlocked or redeemed  in such a way that our lives can be lived more fully and authentically.

“Two roads diverged...”

Saturday, July 18, 2009

 

Robert Frost’s renowned poem “The Road Not Taken” captures well  the predicament we so often find ourselves confronting: When faced with a choice between two “roads”, how do we discern which road to take? From where did that new road come, and why did it appear just now? What does this new road represent for us? Is it a temptation to lead us astray, another option to help us better delineate the best course, or an unknown path promising a new and needed direction?  How do we know? Is it possible that one must stand motionless at the fork for a time before the needed choice becomes evident?  Or do we sometimes find that our truest path involves not choosing at all, but suffering that terrible tension for the sake of our own individuation process? All these questions will be explored from personal and Jungian perspectives.

   “Once Upon a Loss:

A New Look at Cinderella”

Saturday, August 22, 2009

 

This seminar will be built around Carolyn Russell Stonewell’s award-winning documentary by the same name.  In it you will experience the Cinderella tale as recorded by the Brothers Grimm, beautifully narrated and illustrated.  You will also hear the  personal stories of women who, like Cinderella, suffered premature loss of their mothers - all this within an interpretive frame provided by Swiss analyst, Kathrin Asper.  For mental health professionals, this film offers greater understanding of the often under-estimated effects of losing a parent in childhood or adolescence.  But, more important, Dr. Asper demonstrates how any fairy tale can become a window onto the soul.  Time will be allowed for exploration of ways in which this much-loved tale resonates with your own experience, whether or not that involves  early mother loss, and the archetypes involved.
