Iaap newsletter 28 - The new Israeli Jungian society

thank our Administrative Council for overseeing these developments and in particular
Myfanwy, Johanna, and Robby for their endurance and foresight.
Individual members have had another busy year. Penny Norris was a keynote speaker
at Concordia University, Montreal. She presented a research paper "The Frankenstein
Enigma; Between Saint and Monster: Mary Shelley- a Case History", and led a
workshop called “The Compelling Libido of the Shadow”. Johanna David, is until
March, part of the IAAP supervision team going to St. Petersburg. She continues to
teach ongoing seminars in Hereford. Carmen Reynal's Gloucestershire group also
continues to thrive, with yet again a list of interesting speakers. Ann Shearer gave a
paper at the IAAP/ IAJS conference. Her chapter on "The Goddess Themis and Jung's
Concept of the Self" was published in “Dreaming the Myth Onwards”. Her full length
study of the Goddess Themis,co-authored with Pamela Donleavy, came out in the
Summer, "From Ancient Myth to Modern Healing: Themis, Goddess of Heart, Soul,
Justice and Reconciliation”. Elizabeth Gordon has joined the shuttle analysts working
in St. Petersburg. Earlier this year, to raise money for the Russian Revival Fund, she
walked with friends 200 miles from her home in Oxfordshire to Canterbury! She is also
running regular fairytale/story-telling sessions with the staff of the Child and
Adolescent Mental Health Unit in Andover Hospital. Ffiona von Westhoven Perigrinor
continues with her extraordinary efforts to help train in Guangzhon, China. She writes
so movingly of the courage these people have and the tenacity to overcome nearly
everything except their wish to learn. Books, money and energy are needed to help
her on this one woman adventure of heart, so if you have an interest, please get in
touch with her.
We thank everyone who has contributed to teaching, planning and making this year of
transitions possible. Hope is in the air; please let it be the harbinger of needed
change.
