Jung Platform and SAAJA present: 

James Hollis online course

A four week course with Jungian analyst James Hollis. By SAAJA (South African Association of Jungian Analysts) and Jung Platform

We are pleased to host a 4-week webinar course by the internationally acclaimed Jungian Analyst, teacher and author James Hollis who will present this course on four important life topics. 

Each class is 60 minutes + 30 minutes bonus discussion between Hollis and the Cape Town participants. 


COURSE OUTLINE:

Week 1: Wed. July 27 2016: at 19:30 SA Time/ 1.30pm EST: 
On the Psychology of Men.

Women have courageously examined their roles and the limitations placed upon their souls.  Men similarly need to examine the presuppositions and limitations which govern their lives.   This program will explore the range of male definitions, the often unconscious relationship to mother and father, and the role which fear plays in mens lives.   Only a frank discussion of these secrets breaks the conspiracy of silence which estranges them not only from women but even more from themselves. (This program is as much for women as it is for men).

Week 2: Wed. August 3 2016 at 19h30: / 1.30 EST
On The Psychology of the Second Half of Life.

Finding meaning in the second half of life requires asking larger questions of ourselves, and challenging our values.  To ask these questions three things are requisite:  that we recover a sense of personal authority, that we strike a better balance between obligation to others and obligation to self, and that we construct a more mature spirituality. How do we recover our lives, grow as persons, and become increasingly at home with the person we are becoming?

Week 3: Wed. August 10 2016 at 19h30: / 1.30 EST
On the Psychodynamics of Relationships.

No theme seems more to preoccupy us than the desire for relationship, yet everywhere we see broken relationships. Why?   Is it that relationships are too important, but how could that be? The relationship between self and Other carries always the imprint of first relationships.  In any present relationship we are inevitably enmeshed in the psychological mechanisms of projection and transference of our earliest images of self and Other. This lecture will explore our projection/transference dynamics, the desire to merge with the other which our hidden agenda embodies, and the search for the Magical Other. 

Week 4: Wed August 17 2016 at 19h30:/ 1.30 EST
The Personal Myth in Turbulent Times.

Just over a century ago, Jung asked himself, "What is my myth?" He concluded he could not answer that question, and thus launched a sustained effort to address the matter. Can we answer it? In order to begin, we first have to understand what is meant by myth. Then, we need to consider what the question itself means. Why we even have to ask this question is yet another question. What is the cultural context in which we raise these questions? How do our personal journeys intersect with the climate of our time?  How does one go about the construction of, or the identification of the "personal myth," and how does that very personal work affect our relationship to others?

James Hollis has taught on Jungian Psychology all over the world and hardly needs introduction to South African audiences where he is well known for his books which include: The Middle Passage (1993), Under Saturns Shadow: The Wounding and Healing of Men (1994), Swamplands of the Soul: New Life in Dismal Places (1996), The Eden Project: In Search of the Magical Other (1998), What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life (2008) and Hauntings: Dispelling the Ghosts who run our lives (2013).

Structure of each class:
50 minute lecture
10 min general Q&A
30 min Q&A with SAAJA only

Cost:$75 (incl. audio recording of the live event).

Alchemical Psychology Course
Yellowing and the Stone: 
Fermentation and the Goal of the Opus

by Robert Bosnak


Enroll here (and get the $10 discount)
 
In this 10 class course, Robert Bosnak will alchemically explore the chapters Yellow and The Stone from James Hillman's book on Alchemical Psychology. The teacher Bosnak has been studying alchemy for 40 years, and was mentored by James Hillman, which makes this course a great way to learn the complex material that alchemy is.
 
Yellowing is about the way the images ferment in the body and bring about the dawning of a fresh sense that life matters profoundly. After innocence growth and greening having gone through a destructive nigredo black, the sadness of the blues and the lunatic reflection of silver, now the material goes unconscious again and becomes a seed to ferment for the whole body. Here the image becomes fully embodied.
 
In 'Concerning the Stone', Hillman investigates the goals of alchemy and deconstructs the notions of 'goal' in general.
Here is a fascinating progression of alchemical thought as we move along the tortures, transmutations and ecstasies of the work that poisons us and gives us the profoundest of remedies, exceeding even the notion of health.
 
Robert Bosnak, PsyA , is a Jungian psychoanalyst who graduated from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich in 1977. Since then he was been in private practice in the United States and Australia. He founded the Santa Barbara Healing Sanctuary, developed a method of working with dreams called Embodied Imagination. He also wrote several books, among which the worldwide bestseller 'A Little Course In Dreams'.

Course: There are 10 live webinar presentations of 1.5 hour.  The course starts September 15th, 2016

Cost: 10 Sessions: $150 (incl. copy of the audio recording).

Sign up before Aug 15th, and get another $10 discount and pay only $140

Starts November 2016


Enroll here

This is a very special opportunity to enroll in a one year educational program with Malidoma Some.

Watch this YouTube clip on Malidoma Some.
 
Modernity creates issues that increase the challenges of modern therapeutic techniques. In a world where the number of people with psychic distress is increasing dangerously, traditional counseling and therapies need an ancient indigenous upgrade. Divination is an effective tool for tackling the crisis of the human psyche in modern time. Divination clarifies the meaning of the soul's quest and shed light to the obstacles to overcome on the way to successful living. In other word, divination does not just tell you what is going on in your life; it tells you what you need to do in order to flow into your gifts and fulfill your purpose. Divination provide a positive spin on human challenges by emphasizing gifts and purpose.
 
This is why intuitive therapists, devoted counselors and anyone who is a natural psychic should consider adding divination to their tools or taking up divination for helping others.
 
 
For whom is this education ?
Are you intuitive? Do you trust your instinct? Do you have vivid dreams that sometimes wake you up in the middle of the night? Do you sometime feel the energy of people around you? An affirmative to any of these questions signal a diviner in you. We are happy to invite you to join in a year long training in COWRY SHELL DIVINATION. You will get a certification of completion at the end.
 
Teacher: Malidoma Patrice Some is from Burkina Faso, West Africa. In his native language, Malidoma means "be friends with the stranger". A gifted medicine man of the Dagara tribe, he holds three master's degrees and two doctorates, from the Sorbonne and Brandeis. He is the author of 'Of Water and the Spirit'. He is a spokes person and storyteller of the African Wisdom tradition.
