When you look in the mirror who do you see?
The real, imposter, a role, or a true self? The ‘as-if’ person usually wears a mask presenting through the persona of facade, living in fantasy and illusionary worlds. The psychological issues affect intimacy with oneself and others through escaping the present. The results often include feelings of not belonging, sexual addiction, conflicts around aging, the cultural influence of social media, body image and the predominance of split selves.
Wisdom School Seminar: Writing From Inside the Inside
Locally based in Everett, Washington, Dr. Lockhart is a Jungian analyst, trainer, scholar, writer, editor, and publisher over more than 50 years. He writes, “One of my favorite things I did when teaching was to give seminars on writing. In the late 70s, 80s and into the 90s, I did several of these with analysts, candidates, lay groups, and others. My basic approach was to illustrate various ways to “write from the inside out.” My intent was to get people to write from where dream and word, like twins, are born, that is, from the depths of psyche and not from the ego”.
If you have any interest in writing or deepening your writing in relation to in-depth psychological work, I invite you to participate in this seminar.
As Jung wrestled with powerful images and experiences sent forth by the unconscious, he was “taken to the mat” again and again. As he sweated it out intellectually, physically, morally, and spiritually, within these pages, so will we. As we read and discuss The Red Book together, we, too, will struggle with the implications of this material for our own understanding of ourselves, the times we live in, and the meaning and consequences that our own encounters with the unconscious present to us, and the way the unconscious effects society at large. The Red Book lays the groundwork in which Jung began to formulate the constructs which later appear throughout his Collected Works.
A online study and discussion of various fairy tales facilitated by Stephanie Gierman, Jungian Analyst, and our very own Co-President, Bette R. Joram, Ph.D.
Purchase a Member or Non-member ticket to join the discussion. CEU ticket sold separately.
Locally based in Everett, Washington, Dr. Lockhart—Jungian analyst, trainer, scholar, writer, editor, and publisher over more than 50 years—has generously offered to use a question and answer format to invite discussion and share his extensive Jungian knowledge with participants. The first session will engage with Dr. Lockhart ‘s Appassionato for the Imagination. In this essay, Dr. Lockhart discusses the relationship between Jung’s Red Book, modern art, and the concept of Other. From this perspective, Dr. Lockhart asks for us today,
“How…and in what way, can the Red Book be a guide?”
No prior knowledge, experience, or previous participation in the group is required.
Our in-person discussion group continues to meet weekly on Saturday mornings, 11am – 12:30pm in the Nancy Alvord Library, room 222 of the Good Shepherd Center, Seattle. Participants suggest and discuss a variety of Jungian and depth psychological topics and benefit from community connection. Please join us!

FIRST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH
In the library, Tamara Walker and Lael Cassidy co-host an in-person discussion group based on Jung’s Dream Analysis: Notes on the Seminar Given in 1928-1930.
In this study group, we intend to invite the voice of C.G. Jung into the room and to provide a space to reflect with our whole selves. We will attend his seminar and enter into specific dreams with him.
We are reading C.G. Jung’s Dream Analysis: Notes on the Seminar Given in 1928-1930, one lecture per month. New participants are welcome at any time. We send a PDF version of the upcoming lecture a few days before each meeting (typically about 15 pages). If you want to receive this email, please reach out to Tamara Walker at tendingthesacredpath@gmail.
Print-outs can be provided in the meeting if needed.
(If you want your own copy of the book, Part 1 of the lecture series is readily available in paperback and on kindle where books are sold. The full volume is only available in hardback, and quite expensive, but at the current rate we won’t reach part 2 until mid-2025)
To invite the unconscious to participate, art supplies will be available for those who wish. There will also be time to discuss/share art and other feeling/thinking responses to the work.
