Lecture April 25, 2008 Persona: Profane Disguise or Sacred Mask? The persona is the psychic territory where who we really are confronts who we are perceived to be. To dismiss it as a false self misses the important role that the persona plays in the individuation process. For many of us, true persona development can become serious and sacred work that echoes the role of the mask as an archetypal symbol of transformation. Seminar May 4, 2008 Sun and Moon: Myth and Image Part 1 will consist of a presentation with colour slides exploring through myth and story the deep archetypal symbolism carried by the two primary celestial bodies of our universe. In Part 2, participants will be invited to present images of the sun and moon that carry personal meaning for them for contemplation and discussion. These images may derive from dreams, artwork, literature or experiences in the natural world.

Mini-Lecture
Friday,
September 29, 2006 7.30-9.30 p.m. by Helen Brammer-Savlov Envy and jealousy can be two of the most painful shadow
elements for us to Workshop Sat., May 6, 2006 10
a.m. - 4 p.m. An exploration through Jungian theory and archetypal
imagery of what we understand by this hugely important psychic system. For it is
by means of this complex that we claim our personal identity and authority and
can say as Jung did, aged 12, “I am myself now, now I exist.” Slides will be
used to illustrate Jung’s model of the psyche and show images from creation
myths, art and religion which symbolise the birth of consciousness. Friday 1st April 2005 “Images of Love and Hate: The Brother/Sister Archetype” 8.p.m. – 10 p.m. at the UU Church Parish Hall, 695, Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo NY. Depth Psychology has concentrated on mother and
father, but what about our siblings? Tonight’s lecture draws on archetypal
images of brother/sister bonds from mythic poetry, fairy tale and legend, and
the plays of Shakespeare. As we consider motifs of loving sibs, envious sibs,
brothers and sisters who love too closely and siblings who kill, the lecture
will explore the inner psychic processes carried by the imagery. Saturday 2nd April 2005 “Brother/Sister Archetype Part 2: Alchemical Images of Masculine and Feminine Energies” 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. A workshop at 408, Franklin St., Buffalo NY. An introduction to the rich imagery of the
brother/sister pairs in alchemy. Jung discovered that “the
experiences of the alchemists were, in a sense, my experiences, and
their world was my world.” He recognised that the energy at the core of
the work, both psychological and alchemical, is the drama of the opposites.
Using colour pictures to assist our exploration, we will look at images of Sol
and Luna, Brother Sun and Sister Moon, and consider their meaning for us on our
journey of individuation and analysis. Recent Papers written by Helen Brammer-Savlov
