Why I Serve: Jim Fidelibus


The path to individuation is paved in the context of relationships. As Jung put it, “the development of the psychological individual as a being distinct from the general, collective psychology … must lead to more intense and broader collective relationships and not to isolation.” (CW 6, pars. 757-58). In these days of one-sided individualistic and nationalistic values, cultivating personal psychological growth in ways that broaden our relationship to a diversity of others is a deep need of our culture. Being part of the Jung Association of Central Ohio (JACO) is to become a contributor to the availability and cultivation of this kind of experience. Through programming, community outreach, dream groups, reading groups, art exhibits, and web resources, JACO offers valuable opportunities to make a difference and build connections locally, nationally, and internationally.


Jung’s Psychology of the Complexes: A Program for Mental Health Professionals


We are once again honored to make available a program for mental health professionals; this year focusing on the issue of Jung’s Psychology of the Complexes. As many of you know, this clinical program was begun by one of our founders, Dick Sweeney, a number of years ago. We have been fortunate that the program has continued under the tutelage of psychologist and Jungian analyst, James Fidelibus, Ph.D. This year the program will run from September 13, through December 6, 2024, and consist of 7 sessions for a total of 14 continuing education units. Dr. Fidelibus will delve into Jungian theory relative to the structure of complexes as well as the relationships among personal complexes and the architecture of Jung’s model of the psyche. He will also help develop insight into activation of complexes in various contexts (e.g., dreams, therapeutic relationships).

MANDALA ART WORKSHOP: 

EXPLORING THE SELF


Just a reminder that on September 9, 2024, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. Maggi Colwell will be offering a workshop where participants will create personal mandalas. Art supplies will be provided; however, participants are also encouraged to bring small personal items (sticks, small stones, shells, feathers, etc.) as a way of adding layers of meaning and personal significance to their artwork.

 

Maggi is a nationally board-certified art therapist with a Master's in Art Therapy and has a master's level Dream Pattern Certificate from the Assisi Institute. Maggi continues to enhance their expertise as a training candidate in psychoanalysis at the CG Jung Institute in Zurich.

 

The cost of the program is $40 for members and $45 for non-members. Please click on link below to register.

Mandala Art Workshop


Jung Book Club

 

Our Book Club is not only growing, it is thriving. We have just finished a number of meetings with Mary Marx where we explored, through video and discussion, Lionel Corbett’s vision of the concept of god from antiquity to Jung. Beginning on September 15 (and continuing September 29 and October 13), the Rev. David Hett will delve into Carl Jung’s book, “The Undiscovered Self.” In that book, Jung wrote that we have entered “an apocalyptic age filled with images of universal destruction,” and expresses how, as individuals, we must respond to this reality. In this fate-full fall presidential election season set in a time of extreme polarization, Jung’s book provides insight into the seductive power of “mass-mindedness” pulling the individual away from their own inner search and self-awareness. Further, Jung’s insights will resonate not only with the study of Lionel Corbett’s beliefs, but also, with the upcoming lecture by Dr. Richard Sweeney who, on October 19, 2024, will speak to the “Strength of Jungian Psychology: Illuminating the Darkness” as well as Rev. Hett’s November 16, 2024 presentation on “The Archetype of the Apocalypse.” 

 

Book club meets on Sundays (see dates above) from 4:00-5:00 pm EST and is a Zoom only get-together. The book club is free (although donations are always greatly appreciated so we can keep doing what we do). You need to click on the link below to register so we can send you the zoom invite for the meeting dates.
