Toni Wolff and the Feminine Psyche
Toni Wolff wrote a short article on the four structures of the feminine psyche: Mother, Hetaira, Amazon and Medial Woman. Using examples of differently structured women I express the meaning and depth of the fine outlines of Wolff’s work. She wrote a masterpiece which, when amplified, shows great meaning and depth. Her work exposes too, the general feminine problems of our times.

The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga
C G Jung
These notes of the seminars on Kundalini given by Jung in 1932 show Jung’s masterly appreciation of this psychological form of Yoga. His symbolic approach to the Chakras and the paths that the power of Kundalini travels, must have opened up a new world to his psychological audience in the early years of the thirties. The introduction by Sonu Shamdasani is helpful and well-researched.

The Origin and Alchemy of the I Ching
We look at the origin of the I Ching, showing us the mysterious beginning of alchemy. How it passes through shamanism, taoism and confucianism, forming the book that we consult today.
We will look at different personal experiences arising from consulting it, one very dramatic one, which shows synchronicity moving through it in a tangible way.
With this we see how the I Ching is embodied energy that we can share, if we are willing to be both patient and imaginative

ALCHEMY: The Soul’s Journey
Twenty years ago I had a dream that I danced around a tree in a courtyard in Switzerland with Marie-Louise von Franz, that great interpreter and lover of Jung’s work. The person who interviewed me for the jungian training course said that the tree had no leaves, and was it fertile? On my final day of graduation I saw that tree again in a picture interpretation seminar. It had no leaves like my dream, and then I understood: it was the Coral Tree of Alchemy that grew under the sea, in the unconscious. Then I knew my personal myth was alchemy. In these four weekly presentations we pass through the descent into the darkness: the nigredo, the insight or the washing of the blackness: the albedo, the dawning of the truth in the citrinitis, and the flowering of love in the rubedo. We look at how we find these four alchemical stages in our everyday life.

THE LIGHT OF NATURE
The light of nature is the inherent soul of all forms that exist on earth. If the earth is destroyed by negligence and unconsciousness will dreams still shine with hidden light and meaning? Will the starry constellations penetrate the pollution? Will there be a shining sea, a beautiful forest? We will look at our responsibility in two ways: towards our inner life and how the planet we live on is related to our dreams. I hope there will be much discussion on these inner and outer aspects that speak to us of wholeness.

Great Books series: Women who run with the Wolves – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
September & October 2020. See details below.
… in every woman there lives a Wild Woman, filled with passionate creativity and ageless knowing, but repressed for centuries by a value system that trivialises emotional truth, intuitive wisdom and instinctual self-confidence. Dr Estés’s enriching bestseller shows how, through the interpretation of story and her psychological commentary, we can reclaim and rejoice in our true feminine power – how we can awaken within the depths of our souls one who is both magic and medicine. The first presentation looks to discover this Wild Wolf Woman, and the second looks at the obstacles and the enlivening psychological work related to this.

THE ROLE OF MISFORTUNE ON THE PATH OF INDIVIDUATION
This talk reflects on the integrative power of misfortune and how healing comes through confronting its affects, and living through it in an objective way, until the deeper aspects of meaning are revealed. Misfortune opens the heart if we have the right attitude and closes the heart if we do not. This is one of the harder spiritual tasks of individuation and without it we can only reach the level of well-being.

ARCHETYPES
This seminar will look at the archetypal images in alchemy and how, in dreams and experiences they lead us into our initiation. Archetypes are perceived by us in the form of images. The images inspire our personal approach to an archetypal energy which is beyond our understanding and knowledge – but with the help of an image, which may be spoken, written, painted, sculptured or listened to, etc, we find a contact with a world which initiates us. In this way we connect our personal energy to the world of the archetypes and are not overwhelmed, but are inspired and thus initiated into our personal mystery.

THE SECRET OF LOVE IN ALCHEMY
First lecture: WESTERN ALCHEMY AND CHRISTIANITY – Second lecture: C G JUNG, TONI WOLFF AND THE RED BOOK
We look at Jung’s discovery of alchemy, which emerged as an experience without a name, in the events in the Red Book. Jung shared his journey with his lover and companion Toni Wolff, which also became her journey, and another dimension of Christianity opened up. It was hidden beneath the surface of orthodoxy and theology in Western Alchemy.
The journey through the Red Book is essentially a journey through the unknown, through darkness. As Jung warned us, it is best not to take the journey alone. This implies relatedness or Eros rather than the heroic attitude. The struggle to evolve this feminine quality in our era is a genuine effort of transformation. It requires an objective attitude and takes us away from a more rational personal development.
Venue: Friend’s Meeting House, Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AF – Tickets £45, Guild Members £40 & Students £35. Ticket includes refreshments and lunch. Book online at: www.guildofpastoralpsychology.org.uk. See web site for further flexible details on how to pay.

THE SECRET OF LOVE IN ALCHEMY – C G JUNG AND TONI WOLFF
We follow the thread of Jung’s beginnings in alchemy, how this came about through his experience in the Red Book. After many years of confrontation with the unconscious, synchronicities and dreams we come to see how alchemy was a thread of Jung’s destiny. Jung’s years of research and experience with Toni Wolff were the bedrock of his work. Later, he was helped by Marie-Louise von Franz to order his studies on alchemy. Jung moves towards Eros in this process. The picture shows Jung’s house at Bollingen where much of his creative work was reflected on and written. Nature was important to Jung and this is reflected in St Niklausen, Central Switzerland, where this talk takes place. A very beautiful area surrounded by mountains and with beautiful skies. The constellations are often clearly visible because there is very little light pollution.

ALCHEMY
What was Jung’s interest in alchemy? Why did it enthral him so deeply? We will look briefly at how Jung came to value alchemy psychologically, as extremely important for the individuation of modern men and women. He brought it out of the dusty cupboards where it had been abandoned in favour of chemistry and saw how it lived in the psyche. We will look at the meaning of alchemy in its psychological sense and how it is a circulating process rather than a step-by-step affair.
Included in this seminar is an alchemical case history so that we can see the living reality of this process in a human being.

SYNCHRONICITY
This time we will look at synchronicity in stories that we tell, and realise that the ‘punch line’ is often a synchronicity which brings life into a story. Fairy tales abound in examples of synchronicities on which they depend to pass on their psychological message or introduce the element of fate which leads a person on their path of individuation. A synchronicity often astonishes a person and it leads them on a religious quest. Discussion always welcome.

THE RED BOOK
Bound in red leather with pages made from cream-coloured parchment, Jung’s Red Book is filled with beautiful and illuminating paintings and dialogues, recorded during the years 1913 to 1930. He called this period of his life: “confrontation with the unconscious.”
The book records Jung’s journey into the beyond, where he was accompanied by Toni Wolff, his soul companion and lover. A highly intuitive woman who, though not a medium, exhibited mediumistic qualities and was able to carry the dark experiences with Jung. In this world Jung meets the independent spirits of the psyche such as Elijah and Salome. A major figure is Philemon the magician (in the picture above) who Jung regarded as his spiritual guide. Jung continuously struggles between the rational spirit of his time and the spirit of the eternal. He submits to many trials, describing these experiences as the foundation of his whole life and work.

In this session on archetypes, after defining what qualities they hold, we will at look at archetypes in movement. These include the movements in history and the movements of people. Generally we often look at static archetypal images and try to make sense of them. Included in this will be the archetype of the traveler or as the I Ching says: The Wanderer. This includes the archetype of the nomad and the meaning of being uprooted.

SEVEN YEARS WITH THE RED BOOK
A lecture and seminar flowing from the Red Book Reading Group which lasted about seven years from March 2011 to December 2017. We read every word and reflected on the pictures. I feel that this led to changes of attitudes and ways of seeing the world – and would now like to share these. Many seem like portents and yet others show us a new frame for psychology – away from an intellectual standpoint to a coming Eros. The Red book was also the frame for all Jung’s future work, as he said on the first page of the Red Book:
“THE YEARS OF WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, when I pursued the inner images, were the most important of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.” C G Jung 1957

CHRISTIANITY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ALCHEMY
This workshop looks at the living stream of alchemy which operated under orthodox Christianity for several centuries. Here we find the link between alchemy and analytical psychology that Jung found through his experience. Through his research on alchemy Jung found parallels which contributed to the development of his psychology – and we will look at the interesting story behind this. Then we will read some alchemical dreams occurring in case histories and see that alchemy is not only practical in understanding the modern psyche through living and dynamic images – but also lives within the psyche as a religious impulse.

THE INNER LANDSCAPE OF THE GODS
These two lectures speak about the power of the complexes in their myriad forms. From Mother and Father to Mercurius and the Great Mother, these entities, or gods, move around our psyches, disturbing and informing us. The complexes offer us an understanding of the divine aspect of life if we are willing to see their energies imaginatively and find a way to relate to them. Complexes can be personal, archetypal as well as ancestral and enact the most profound drama within us.
The second lecture incorporates Jung’s Word Association Experiment, the practical method of defining the particular complexes that inhabit us.

An Alchemical Tale: Finding a Path through Weariness
The talk passes through five of my hand painted mandalas, exhibited as part of the AJA 40th Anniversary celebrations. This shows how a twenty-five year relationship with a yoga teacher who worked with Jung’s dreamwork and psychological ideas, is integrated into the psyche through symbolic images in Jungian analytical training. Interweaving this is a clinical example of chronic fatigue syndrome where the lost energy was raised from the psyche, flowing into the conscious life of the patient once more. This process is also demonstrated in the mandalas and runs parallel with psychological alchemy. A personal story of the integration of the two approaches (Yoga and Jungian Psychology) interweaves.

We will also look at different kinds of archetypal images, such as visual, olfactory, oral and aural images – and how they manifest. Archetypal images are conventionally manifested as visual, probably because Jung seemed to handle this form easily, skillfully and creatively. His Red Book shows us this. To understand archetypal images, however, they need to be seen in the context of our own nature.
Study of the archetypes and their images help us to find a personal relationship with them, connecting this power to ordinary life.

This talk looks at forgiveness as a process rather than a desirable concept. It is an encounter with the shadow lands in ourselves and others. We look at the causal factor, which precedes the need for forgiveness, which usually involves betrayal.
In passing through this process of forgiveness we see how an act of betrayal can transform from a painful to a creative event in the psyche and is one of the major experiments with life.

THE HEALING NATURE OF DREAMS
The journey to train as a Jungian analyst and depth psychologist begins with a dream, followed by another, leading to Switzerland. This journey reveals how both light and dark sides of experience are essential for healing. Dreams can be life-changing gifts from a vast and numinous inner world. They spark off a healing process which begins in our psyches. We walk through many shades of feeling which the dream expresses, though they require our attention and valuation if they are to work and influence our lives.

The Sleeping Beauty: Looking at the Sacred Transference in Psychotherapy
The creative and mysterious force of the transference works beneath all therapeutic relationships. It is sacred because it works independently of our conscious intention and has healing power. It is an inner journey of great depth and transformation and moves through our souls like a great shining river of energy. We will use the structure of the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty to bring out different aspects of the transference.
Fee: £90.00. Please pay direct to Re-vision at 0208 357 8881 or info@re-vision.org.uk For further details see web site of Re-vision: www.re-vision.org.uk and look under: Events/CPD

Dreams of Kundalini: Relating Physical and Psychological Experience
This talk centres on dreams of Kundalini. With the help of Jung’s seminars on “The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga” we see how the dream of the psyche relates to the bodily experience of Kundalini. This deep and penetrating experience has a frightening physicality that expresses the energy of the divine feminine. This experience has implications for the development of collective consciousness to which individuation contributes.

An Alchemical Tale: Confronting the Darkness to find the New Light
This talk shows the healing of a patient with chronic fatigue syndrome through a series of archetypal dreams. These initiate a psychological, alchemical process in the psyche leading to transformation. The dreamer experiences the shadow, both personal and collective, within the alchemical nigredo; this is followed by the albedo, the cleansing process, and finally, the new dawn or rubedo as the healing energy gradually overcomes the fatigue.
The transformation process is echoed in the tale of Sleeping Beauty, and forms the structure of the case. The complex, interesting and intriguing discovery of what caused the energy to drain from the woman’s life in the first place is revealed. The case shows the classical Jungian analytical approach to working with a psycho-physical condition.

A story telling with an interpretation of the Sufi Teaching Story followed by a seminar. Idries Shah describes this tale as “one of the first records of dervish psychological diagnosis and psychotherapy.”
A deeper vision unfolds behind the veil of betrayal, in a story which travels from Arabia in the 8th century, to Rumi in Turkey and on into Europe, where it is translated into English in the 19th century.

The Descent into Hell: Violence in Individuation
In Daughter of Fire by Irina Tweedie, she describes, in her intensely personal diary of her spiritual training, how certain aspects were given to her through ‘violent reproof and even aggression.’
This talk looks at violence in the individuation process and its meaning. It considers the impulse which generates religious flagellation and sado-masochism in the life of the individual, as these manifest through alchemical dreams of dismemberment and violence – and reflect an urge towards transformation.
Mari-Louise von Franz said of Daughter of Fire, that Tweedie’s experience was “a testimony to great courage and integrity.” The confrontation with the shadow, which almost killed her, exemplifies the importance of this harrowing aspect of Jung’s psychology as a preparation for reaching the light.
Venue: The Essex Church, 112 Palace Gardens Terrace, London W8 4RT

A Sufi Tale: Staying Open to Betrayal
The telling of a Sufi Tale: The Pulse of the Princess, one of the first records of the practice of psychotherapy from the sixth century AD.
This tale travels from East to West and can be followed on a journey for over one thousand years. Rumi picks up the tale and exposes the profound meaning of the experience of betrayal for the psyche on the path of individuation. How the deep wounding quality is a necessary part of the psychological and spiritual journey.
