Dear Seattle Jungians,
Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés,
is teaching a class for helping professionals, "The Mysterium:
Psychology...in the Truest Sense of the Word" this summer in Colorado on June 5 - 10.
I learned from Dr. Estés's
event organizer there are still some spaces and I wanted to share this
opportunity with our Seattle Jungian Community. I was at this event last year
and it was beyond phenomenal.
You may be familiar with Dr.
Estés is an author, poet, activist, senior Jungian Analyst, and
great soul. Her books include "Women Who Run With the
Wolves" and "Untie the Strong Woman," plus 20 audio books
through Sounds True Recordings. See the full listing here: http://www.soundstrue.com/authors/Clarissa_Pinkola_Estes/
This is a rare opportunity to
learn from a legendary teacher and I wholeheartedly recommend this event. I'll
be there and I'm bringing four of my friends.
From the website for this
event:
OVERVIEW
Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés
is an elder of psychology whose offerings have transformed and greatly enhanced
our collective wisdom. In this one-of-a-kind training, she invites you to learn
new and old methods for healing the psyche and spirit—in ways that fully
embrace our innate giftedness, individual wisdom, and the treasure of our human
imperfections.
The Mysterium: Psychology…
in the Truest Sense of the Word is a rare opportunity to learn directly from
this living resource as she offers core tools for expanding your daily
practice—“For mending up the part of the world soul within your reach,” and for
enriching your own life.
The psyche is like a lush
and mysterious collection of gardens and wild fields. Though we cannot control
all the weathers that nurture or batter us as we grow in the life-death-life
cycles during “life in the field,” we can map and find treasure in the infinite
complexity of the roots that twine beneath the fertile soil in the vast
collective unconscious. Thus, by seeing “from the aerial view” as Dr. Estés
coined the term, and “by also inquiring up close and ‘down to the bone’ we can
tap into the rhizome, the force of energy at the center of the psyche that – as
in the great trees and flowering and fruiting plants—remains glowing and alive
even under the snowy ground.” We can learn the unique tools and powers to
tend to our soul’s fullest flowerings and wildest twinings.
As teachers, therapists,
healers, and helping professionals, we take the role of gardeners and tenders
to the fields of the psyche, nurturing those who seek our guidance so they may
thrive in any season of life … with heightened vision, intuition,
creativity, love and insight. With The Mysterium: Psychology… in the Truest
Sense of the Word, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés offers you a special training in
the use of her invaluable insights and methods she has used for four decades to
help others cultivate and nourish the fertile psyche deeply planted with all
manner of amazing gifts and life stories.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
In this five-day intensive
training, Dr. Estés will immerse you in analytical techniques that can be
integrated into any form of healing—including developmental, depth, analytical,
cognitive, behavioral psychology, and the expressive arts.
Drawn from depth psychology
principles and enriched with Dr. Estés’ rich ethnic background of healing
practices from her refugee and immigrant elders, plus her 40 years of
experience as a psychoanalyst, poet, cantadora (keeper of the
old stories), and keen explorer of visible and invisible aspects of life… her
perceptions and time honored techniques give a map to The Mysterium.
As she sees it, The
Mysterium is “a living paradigm in which biology, psyche, spirit, soul,
heart and mind and body all have their own fertile ground, their own
intertwined root system wherein one affects the other …with strong potential
for each aspect separately and together to be nurtured into greater being, that
is… to be burnt away into greater being, to be cleaned out and mended into
greater being, to be loved by oneself into greater blossoming of consciousness
and individuation… thereby becoming, as one gathers more years and keeps one’s
heart, mind and hands to the work, ser humano, a venerable, humble,
and fiercely full… what the old believers call, ‘a true human being.’” Through
a variety of approaches including dialog, story and commentary, Q & A and
practicums, we will explore:
• Shadow
Work— Working with the aspects of the psyche
• Interpretation
of Fairy Tales—How archetypes in fairy tales influence us psychologically
• Dream
Analysis— The mirror of the psyche that reflects, guides and warns
“Psychology in the Truest
Sense of the Word”— means to Dr. Estés’s understanding, this: Psyche: soul.
Logos: knowledge of. Psychology: The knowledge of the true journey of the
Soul.” Thus we gather over how to cultivate a larger viewpoint and develop a
‘far-farther’ understanding of the psyche that encompasses our relationships
and family dynamics, the over-culture and its forces that influence us, the
stories that resonate with us, and our individual ways through, down, and
upward across more than one world.
