Spiritual Democracy and the 2024 Election: A Seminar

Saturday, November 2 & 9, 2024

1-2:30 pm

As part of our fall Wisdom School of the Heart, Jung Society Co-President Randy Morris, Ph.D., will be convening two special ‘Wisdom School Homerooms’ on the Saturday before the election and the Saturday after the election. This will be an opportunity for members to gather and process the psychic tensions caused by the US election in relation to the idea of Spiritual Democracy as articulated by our recent presenter, Jungian Analyst Steven Herrmann, Ph.D., in his book Spiritual Democracy: The Wisdom of Early American Visionaries for the Journey Forward (2014). We will come together to share our hopes and dreams about the election and to process the outcome.

**Upon registration, you will receive a reading on the concept of Spiritual Democracy from which our discussion will proceed.**

Registration is free, but you must register/rsvp to receive the necessary articles for this seminar.

Sean Kelly, Ph.D. – Individuation in the Gaianthropocene: Planetary Wisdom for the Second Axial Age

Friday, November 15, 2024

7-9pm PST

ONLINE Lecture

In this presentation, Sean Kelly will reflect upon the nature of this new identity, drawing from Jung’s insights into the archetype of the Self and the process of individuation. In doing so, he will explore how one can, and must, reimagine the Self and individuation in the age of the Anthropocene, or Gaianthropocene, as he prefers to call it. He will be assisted in this reimagining by bringing Jung into dialogue with Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry’s vision of cosmogenesis, Joanna Macy’s understanding of the Great Turning, and his own proposals regarding a second Axial Age and a planetary Wisdom by which this age might be guided.

Purchase a Member or Non-member ticket to join the discussion. CEU ticket sold separately.

Sean Kelly, Ph.D. – The Practice of Planetary Wisdom (Workshop)

Saturday, November 16, 2024

1-4pm PST

ONLINE Workshop

The session on Saturday will offer the opportunity to dive deeper into the concepts explored the previous evening, particularly with regard to the idea of the evolution of consciousness and its relation to the nature of planetary Wisdom. It will also include a simple but powerful cosmological qigong practice along with some experiential exercises from the ‘Work that Reconnects’ developed by Joanna Macy.

THE RED BOOK

A Seminar with Bette Joram, Ph.D.

ONLINE

2nd and 4th Wednesdays

Starting June 12, 2024

Time: 7 – 8:30 PM Pacific Time

Cost: $ 10/ session

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.

Study Group with Russell Lockhart, Ph.D.

3rd Wednesday of the month

Starts September 18th, 2024

10 am – 12 pm, Pacific Time.

Cost: $10/ session

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.
