There are many wonderful things horses can teach us about ourselves especially in regard to the instinctual layer of the human psyche. Within the last ten years the "Horse as Healer" has once more ignited the collective imagination.

The ancient Greeks called the goddess of the hearth Hestia.  She personified the instinct in the psyche to create and tend the sacred center-of home, temple, or city.  This impulse gave birth to the goddess's symbol, the round hearth on which the fire burned.  This lecture explores the bi-valent energies inherent in this symbol, with an emphasis on both historic and contemporary aspects.

The journey to the Self is a particularly long and difficult process for the child abandoned in infancy or early childhood.  The soul's compensation for early loss can be very challenging to appreciate and relate to in the midst of feelings of rejection, shame and unworthiness.  Amplification of the Innuit folktale "Warming the Stone Child" will illustrate the unique courage and stamina required to support the orphan's journey to relationship with the Self.

 The experience of separation and divorce can call up images and affects associated with death, descent and dismemberment.  But viewed as part of a larger alchemical process, divorce can be a transformative experience leading to greater individuation.  This interactive workshop will explore various alchemical images (solutio, separatio and mortificatio) in myth, fairytale and literature as they relate to the experience of divorce. The potential for and obstacles to rebirth, renewal and re-memberment as a result of this process will then be explored
 

Culture Dreaming: A Living Experience of Interconnection

"Culture Dreaming" is an innovative method that opens the way for sociocultural transformation by inviting dreams into shared potential space and then listening for their collective, rather than personal, meanings. Participants in this space tell dreams that arise spontaneously during a mild trance, then engage with their emergent contents. This program will describe the method and the theory behind it, its applications in community, organizational, and public settings, and will include an experiential component.

"Dark Faerie Productions: The Trickster" by Article Author

Trickster figures in stories and in life energize, elevate, and re-create the world in which they find themselves. This lecture discusses examples of the creative imagination of the trickster in myth, life, cinema, and music. In particular, the importance of the presence of tricksters to the continued vitality of life will be discussed.

The Brave Girl:Breaking, Redeeming, & Renewing Tradition

Free Showing of  The King of Masks 1:00-2:30pm: Lecture $20 Pre-registered $25 At door
2 Hours CE, CME, CN available    MCEP: See note on website    All Levels

The arts often anticipate a change in consciousness. Such recent films as The King of Masks (China), and Whale Rider (New Zealand), present a young girl as the agent of transformation. New life comes to a stale worldview by a change in the form of an archetype; the puer aeternus is now the puella forta. The brave girl is "the stone which the builders rejected." The lecture will include a discussion of why the brave girl emerges at this time of cultural fatigue.

Perhaps the greatest painter of the Venetian Renaissance, Titziano Vecellio, is famous for his luminous color and mythological themes.  While exploring Titian's milieu, painterly style, reference to the Roman poet, Ovid, as well as different versions of his lovely "Venus and Adonis," Dr. TePaske will consider timeless dynamics of love, attraction, and fate - in interpersonal relationship and as these are reflected in the deep archetypal background of this painting.  Special attention will also be given to Eros and the Son-Lover motif in myth and psyche.

THE SPLENDOR SOLIS: RE-VISIONING THE IMAGINAL WORLD

Joe McNair,Ph.D.                                  

Thursday,  June 28    7:30-9:30pm  $30.00 

Full Series Only   

All Levels      


The 16^th century saw a remarkable increase in alchemical symbolism.  The Splendor Solis became known for the beauty of its imagery and coalescence of material such as images of nature, daily life, astrological and planetary symbolism, biblical and mythological allegories, and, of course, the deeper levels of psychological life.  By displaying the images, our imaginations will have an opportunity to come to life.  As Jung emphasized, the psyche 'speaks' to us in images, not intellectual concepts.  Over the four sessions we will explore the images in a way that corresponds to the rhythm of The Splendor Solis itself, and thus have an opportunity to see this special work come to life yet again.  For directions to the Center go to www.hsrcenter.com

This is a public lecture series offered by the APC. CE units are not available.
