Hovea Ashram, 805 Margaret Road, Hovea, Western Australia. 5pm, 20 March 2022.

Over the years, as I worked with the dreams of the clients who came for therapy and also of those in the dream group and seminar I lead, I gradually became aware of a scheme of ten dimensions of dream meaning....

There is nothing like the smell of a library and the joy of browsing through the books on the shelves and seeing what titles call to you. This is becoming a lost pleasure. With this in mind we are hosting a library open day to remind people of this treasure of ours. Come browse the shelves, flick through the books, wander around, find a spot to sit and look more closely. Enjoy tea, coffee and cake and the company of others.

The trilogy, Persephone’s Dog, Persephone’s Heart, Persephone’s Wake - was originally developed by Craig, Miriam and friends for community theatre events in Alice Springs, Central Australia and also presented in Santorini, Greece then for Sydney, London and Portland Oregon Jung societies and the (ARAS) Archive for Archetypal Research special project - Gaia: Then and Now. The performances are a radically different take on the meaning and use of the Persephone myth. It comes out of a hybrid perspective - mixing Australian desert experience with old Mediterranean folklore and harsh, confusing anxieties of the present time

The emergence of the Divine feminine as we simultaneously transition into the Aquarian Aion can be understood deeply through astrology. The arrival of distant troublemaker, dwarf planet Eris in 2005, represents our confrontation with the Goddess, an encounter with discord, an invitation to shadow.

Venue: Mary Lockett Lecture Theatre

In this film of a lecture given by Rix Weaver in the late 1980’s, we see Rix clearly describe
the four functions of consciousness. She starts with a description of the unconscious, and
then outlines how the intention of the unconscious, that is its primal intelligence, links to
the ego via the four functions.

PLEASE NOTE THE NEW START TIME OF 7:OOPM AS
WELL AS THE NEW VENUE.

Venue: Cottesloe Civic Centre Lesser Hall
Corner of Napier Street and Broome Street, Cottesloe

This seminar will explore the three Jungian Schools as classified by Andrew Samuels in his 1983 paper. Together we will reflect and explore the similarities
and differences from a Jungian perspective of these three Schools: Classical, Archetypal and Developmental (Samuels, 1983).

We found it intriguing to consider two aspects of Samuels’ clarification. Firstly,
“all analytical psychologists are likely to use all these theories and are interested in all these clinical areas at some time and with some patients” (p. 353). And, secondly, it "can tell us as much about what is held in common as about the differences of opinion” (p. 354).

This presentation is an exploration of the often-paradoxical coexistence between being broken and one’s personal numinous experience. In the midst of being shattered, it is not uncommon that one has a deeper connection with their surroundings including people, animals, trees, and inanimate objects. Various spiritual breakthroughs in those with psychic fragmentation are well documented, including Jung’s own struggle in The Red Book.

Individuation as one of the major principles of analytical psychology calls for a more balanced attitude between introversion and extroversion – defined as an inward and outward turning of psychic energy, respectively.

These workshops is for the introverts to cherish and trust their natural prepositions in the midst of an extraverted world, for the extroverts to dip their toes into seeing the language of the inner world that is present in everyone, and for all of us to recognise both introversion and extroversion in each of us.

Jungian analysts Vivien Bainbridge and Manita Beskow will be facilitating a series of three two-hour fairy tale groups. The aim is not so much to dissect the tales, or even to interpret them, but to experience them and relate them to our own life.

Dates: The group meets monthly, most often on the third Saturday of the month. Venue: The fairy tale group will be held in the beautiful, peaceful (and fairy tale like) Hovea Ashram: 805 Margaret Rd. Hovea

For further information or to register to attend the fairy tale groups please contact Vivien Bainbridge at vivienb@westnet.com.au or Manita Beskow mani1@iinet.net.au 0419 043 768
