Dolores D. Follin, J.D. Searching for Home
In this workshop we will look at the image of home as a symbol of the Self and at the ways in which an outer search for home, in all of its myriad manifestations, is often a search for the Self in disguise. We will also look at how feelings of inner homelessness (as an image of disconnect from the Self) are expressed by the unconscious in dreams, in relationships, and in attitudes toward outer home.

Feminine Authority: Empowerment through Animus Development Drawing on the work of Jung, von Franz, Carotenuto, Young-Eisendrath, Harding and life experience, we will discuss the re-discovery of feminine authority via relationship with the animus as center of inner psychic equilibrium. We will explore the negative masculine as the key to transformation as he makes himself known through dream images, neuroses and stories. Finally, we will seek to understand the emergence of the positive masculine as source of power and a bridge to wholeness.

The Rev. John L. Martin, D. Min. 
Judy B. Gardiner
While we might be familiar with some of the archetypal "longing or searching for home" themes found throughout literature, how often do we ponder these archetypal themes played out in our own real life relationship with home? Most, if not all, of these archetypal themes of searching for an outer home symbolize an inner spiritual journey fueled by a deep yearning and longing. It is a yearning and longing for what Jung refers to as the "Self." This unconscious yearning to "come home" to the Self is often consciously experienced as longing pertaining to some aspect of our outer home, such as renovation, frequent moves, or even avoidance or neglect of home. 
Dr. Yates will share some archetypal dreams which deepen the spiritual journey, such as dreams of the Black Madonna, Sophia, and the inner Christ. The dreams shall serve to generate discussion of the parallels between the image of God within us and the wholeness of the Self.
Rev. John L. Martin, D. Min. 
This workshop will deal with Jung's discovery of a "Myth of Our Own" and its development since the corroboration of the Big Bang Theory. After a short presentation of Jung's statements on the topic, segments of a DVD will be offered to stimulate discussion.

From the beginning of time, shared movement and song have brought people together for seasonal ceremony and celebration, as part of everyday life and life passages, and in daily renewal and meditation. The Dances of Universal Peace, sometimes called "Sufi Dancing," are part of this ageless tradition of Sacred Dance. They are joyous participatory circle dances that honor the world’s spiritual traditions through sacred song and simple, heart-felt movement. No experience or special abilities are needed. Movements are gentle, melodies are simple, and complete instructions are given. 
Jung stated that “the general function of dreams is to try to restore our psychological balance.” He talked about how dreams can compensate for our misconceptions in life that become barriers to our growth and transformation. Our dreams therefore become a valuable resource for spiritual and psychological growth, but as we understand their meaning, dreams can surface emotional barriers that we have been unable to overcome. A unique “bridging” of dreamwork and Energy Psychology can provide a powerful method for both identifying and reducing these emotional barriers. Participants will learn a simple yet effective Gestalt based approach for identifying issues the dream is dealing with. This is followed by the Emotional Freedom Technique and a dream closure method to calm emotional impact and promote personal progress. Presentation of the supporting research and a case example will be followed by an experiential procedure open to all participants. A worksheet is provided.
This experiential workshop will rekindle memories of ourselves through the world of symbolism and expressive arts. Participants will let their fingers do the walking and be called to a symbol. After meditating quietly with the symbol participants will then choose a stick with which to create a power stick which they will adorn with objects evoking memories of what lies within them. A celebratory ritual will then bring an ending to this workshop which will literally bring form to the power of our interior world.
In this workshop, we will approach yoga as spiritual practice that both parallels and compliments Jungian psychology. Jung’s work challenges us to hold the tension of opposites until a third element arises. Often, this unifying element springs from stillness, providing us with a renewed sense of wholeness. Yoga grounds spiritual development in an awareness of the body. The practice of yoga also deepens our capacity to work with opposing elements, teaching us, again and again, to return to the stillpoint within.
