JUNG’S PATH TO THE SELF
Image and Individuation
Through imagination and image we make meaning of our lives. This season the Center hosts an ongoing conversation
about the process of individuation and how experiences of images, especially through the mirror of art,
are Jung’s path to the Self. Jung said, “Everything of which we are conscious is an image, and that image is psyche.”
Making our lives more conscious and ourselves more whole is a more visible process through reflection on image.

ONE MAN’S INDIVIDUATION
THROUGH THE LIVES OF OTHERS
Danila Crespi, Jungian Analyst
The German thriller/drama The Lives of Others
won the Academy Award for best foreign film
in 2007. It reveals the subtleties of an individuation
process, the transformation that can happen
when the soul is exposed to art. Immersion in the
intimate lives of others—their literature, their
thinking, their passion and especially their music—connects
one individual more deeply to the
Self. From a Jungian perspective, emotions create
movement in the psyche, and feelings evaluate the
experience. Set just before the fall of the Berlin
Wall, the film bares the lives of a bureaucrat and
a playwright, his lover, and their artist friends in
their struggle against repression. The emotions are
carried by the hauntingly beautiful score, Sonata
for a Good Man.

A MATTER OF HEART:
JUNG’S BASIC CONCEPTS
Fred Fleischer & Judith Moscu, Jungian Analysts
A Matter of Heart features interviews with many
of those who knew and worked with Jung. There
is rare footage of Jung being interviewed on Face-to-
Face at his house in Zurich only 18 months before
he died. A 1951 short of Jung at his Bollingen
retreat has commentary by Maud Oakes, author
of The Stone Speaks. Analysts Judith Moscu and
Fred Fleischer will dialogue with each other about
the video then invite a conversation with the audience
about basic concepts of Analytical Psychology
such as archetype, anima/animus, the collective
unconscious, shadow and individuation.
Fred Fleischer, MA, has a Master’s in theology and
received his analytic diploma from the Jung Institute
in Zurich. He is the founding analyst of the Center

FALLING STARS: THE SHADOW AND
GIFTS OF AMERICAN NARCISSISM
Jacqueline J. West & Nancy Dougherty,
Jungian Analysts
The American psyche can be seen as narcissistic.
Americans readily identify with the heroic, the
good, the brave. We will explore how “alpha
narcissism” and its underlying psychopathy
traverses the personal and transcendent as well
as the cultural and political realities of our times.
We will reflect upon two archetypal images of
falling stars—a woodcut image by A. Durer from
the Biblical Apocrypha and the painting Falling
Stars by contemporary artist Anselm Kiefer—
and experience the tension between destruction
and creation. In some later works by Kiefer we
will see how resilient vulnerability, in contrast to
rigid, militaristic defenses, is related to survival
and to beauty. Ultimately we will discover that
with the development of consciousness there are
gifts from narcissism.

Workshop $60 w/lunch (+ $8 for 3 CEUs)
THE PALETTE OF ANSELM KIEFER: OUR
WAR-TORN WORLD & INDIVIDUATION
Jacqueline J. West & Nancy Dougherty,
Jungian Analysts
We will view slides and explore further the art of
Anselm Kiefer and how he examines and confronts
the destructive and potentially creative forces in our
imperiled world. Born in Germany in 1945, Kiefer
wrestles with post-war German culture and the
silence and denial about the Holocaust. Images of
ravaged and haunting landscapes are rendered in
mediums rich with alchemical reference. Facing these
archetypal landscapes of destruction, we experience a
darkness that allows an authentic and unsentimental
connection to present life. Kiefer grapples with the
mysterious and central tenant of the alchemists:
“As above, So below.” Yet he doesn’t turn from the
immediacy of psychological and political reality. We
will reference films and novels as well as the poetry
of Paul Celan. Kiefer’s work leads to understanding
that accepting the limits of narcissism and suffering
life’s agonies can bear fruit personally and culturally.

POETRY DISCUSSION 7 – 8pm

SPEAKING OF POETRY—LET’S READ IT
Lúcia Leão, writer
The search for a more authentic life is part of the
“life work” of analysts, analysands and poets alike
(and not only them). We will read a few poems
together from handouts and talk about poetry
as storytelling, soul work, and the development
of autonomous complexes or unconscious and
underlying myths. We will look at poetry and
feel it as a play with words that touches the unknowable
and points to paradox and, as Jungians
call it, “the third thing.”
“For Jung, the transformation of libido can be designated
as ‘bipolar,’ for it results from the continuous
parting and uniting of two conflicting elements; it is
a synthesis of conscious and unconscious material.”
– Complex/Archetype/Symbol in the Psychology of
C.G. Jung by Jolande Jacobi.
Lúcia Leão, MS, MA, is a published writer in her
native Brazil who lives in South Florida and works as
a translator. She studied Jung with the Florida Association

THE KITE RUNNER:
REDEEMING THE FEMININE
Teresa Oster, Jungian Psychotherapist
Adapted from the best-selling novel, this film unveils
how a pivotal event in a child’s life can create a
neurotic complex. Friendship and betrayal, guilt and
forgiveness, hope and fear, innocence and loss—the
opposites persist until the narrator finds “a way to be
good again,” revisiting, remembering and redeeming
his past. Director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland)
turns an epic tale of Afghanistan and America into a
personal (and universal) story about someone flawed,
like all of us. The young Amir, quoting Rumi says,
“Who are we in this complicated world?” Forster is a
master weaver of metaphor and image. Kites—beautiful,
colorful and daring—and evocative kite-fighting
scenes are the central image of this captivating film
about a circuitous path to individuation.
Teresa Oster, MS, MSW, LCSW is a Jungian-oriented
psychotherapist based in the Stuart, FL area and trained
with the Florida Association of Jungian Analysts. She
is an ex-journalist with a special interest in writing and
creativity.

THE WAY OF THE SMALL:
WHY LESS IS TRULY MORE
“The goal is to make the ego as strong and as small as
possible.” – C. G. Jung
Michael Gellert, Jungian Analyst
Our best traditions and thinkers tell us that
happiness is found in “the small”—in celebrating
the details of everyday life and living wisely
with limits. Teaching us the joys of simplicity
and modesty, they offer a viable alternative to
the grandiose thinking that is responsible for so
many of our personal and global problems. In
exploring this archetype of the small, our aim
will be to understand why very little is needed
to make a happy life. Some of history’s most dynamic
people were masters of the small. We will
learn how to make suffering sacred by embracing
diminishing experiences. We will identify the
principles of a sound, wholesome existence for
both the individual and society.
Michael Gellert is a Jungian analyst in private practice
in Los Angeles and Pasadena. Former Director of
Training at the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, he
taught at Vanier College and Hunter College. A Zen
practitioner for 30 years, he is the author of Modern
Mysticism, The Fate of America, and The Way of
the Small.

THE ART OF EMOTION
Beverley Zabriskie, Jungian Analyst
Emotion is an art, and art expresses and evokes
emotion. The workshop will explore the mindbrain-body
continuum from which we make
and respond to art and the process by which
art mirrors us and we mirror ourselves in art.
We will discuss “endogenesis of images,” “mirror
neurons,” and psychological coding of facial
expressions. Psyche expresses itself in art, and art
expresses, enhances, expands, the experience of
the “felt life.” A complex is an image of a psychic
situation, strongly accentuated emotionally, with
powerful inner coherence. Dreams attempt to reestablish
psychic equilibrium by restoring images
and emotions that express the whole personality.
Beverley Zabriskie is a Jungian Analyst in New York
City. A founding member and President of the Jungian
Psychoanalytic Association. she is an Assistant Editor of
the Journal of Analytical Psychology, and Psychoanalytic
Educator of the Year for 2002. Her 50 publications include
“A Meeting of Rare Minds, The Preface to Atom and
Archetype,” The Pauli-Jung Correspondence.

AT-ONE-MENT: FEMININE
INDIVIDUATION IN ATONEMENT
Danila Crespi, Jungian Analyst & Scott Feaster,
Professor of Composition, Literature and Film
Atonement (Focus Features, 2007) achieved
critical and popular success both as a novel and
a movie. While a book uses words, a film uses
images (and sound). Cinema must compress
meaning, and expand it, into images. Some want
to just enjoy the pleasure and the experience of
a movie. Others use the art of film criticism to
reflect upon the film and its images. What are we
to make of these opposites? Briony Tallis is a girl
in 1930s England. What do the images of the
film say about her individuation as well as ours?
In the morning workshop, we will examine images
of the feminine in the movies and how a director
uses style to bring art and meaning to story.
After lunch, we’ll view the film and consider how
director Joe Wright elevates and refines the novel
through the images and his style. Following the
screening, we’ll converse and reflect on personal
impressions and critical values. It is suggested
that participants see Atonement before the workshop,
and if possible review The Presence of the
Feminine in Film, (Cambridge 2008), by Virginia
Apperson and John Beebe (www.c-s.p.org ).
Scott V. Feaster is a PhD in Comparative Arts and an
assistant professor at Broward College.
Danila Crespi is a Jungian Analyst in private practice

21 st SEASON EVENT: DREAMTENDINg
WITH STEPHEN AIzENSTAT, Ph.D.
“One of the more profound experiences we gain as a result
of tending the images of dream, is a sense of deep belonging.
To be connected in an ongoing way to these figures is to feel
a sense of communion with these images of soul, perhaps the
most essential images we’ll ever know.” – Aizenstat
Prior to the annual dinner, we will view the film
Dreamtending: A Unique Approach to Understanding
and Learning from Our Dreams. Dr. Aizenstat,
a psychologist and co-founder of Pacifica
Graduate Institute, offers an innovative and
artistic approach to dreams. Aizenstat grounds
his method in the works of Carl Jung, Sigmund
Freud, James Hillman and Marion Woodman.
The film also features rare interviews with four
noted experts—Robert Johnson, James Hillman,
Marion Woodman, and Michael Meade—on the
mystery of our dream lives. The screening will
be followed by a panel discussion with Jungian
analysts and others from the Jungian community.
