The Language of the Soul
Led by The Rev. John L. Martin, D.Min. and Carolyn Martin, M.R.E.
The purpose of this seminar is to familiarize the participants with the basic concepts of Jungian Psychology. We have discovered that the best way to do this is in terms of a living model of the psyche as it was understood by Jung. The seminar is structured to allow us to do just this. In order to communicate his understanding of the human psyche Jung developed his own vocabulary and an understanding of this vocabulary is important is appropriating Jung’s psychology for our personal lives.
Session I - Jung’s Model of the Psyche
We will consider how symbols work in terms of Jung’s approach. We then turn to Jung’s model of the psyche and locate its various aspects: the personal unconscious, the collective unconscious, ego, persona, shadow, anima and animus, complexes and the Self. This material is presented, not as a set of philosophical concepts, but as living realities with which we have to deal each day of our life; the things that make us feel the way we feel and act the way we act.
Session II
Projection - Our experience of the realities of the personal unconscious, the collective unconscious, ego, persona, shadow, anima and animus, complexes and the Self involves an elementary psychological reality that is important for us to understand. We will spend a certain amount of time defining and illustrating the basic psychological experience of projection.
Concepts of Anima/Animus - Would it be safe to say that our relationships with the opposite sex can be a little problematic? We think so. In this session we carefully consider Jung’s contribution to this area of personal relationships. Using his notions of anima (the woman within the man) and animus (the man within the woman), we attempt to clarify the dynamics of these "invisible partners." Film clips are wonderful tools in this part of our study.
Session III - Jung’s Theory of the Complex
Perhaps the most important practical contribution of Jung to modern life is his theory of the complex. To grasp his understanding of complexes can change the way we think about ourselves and can open exciting doors of personal transformation. With this part of our study all that has gone before will come together in a way that we trust will be of genuine benefit to everyone participating.
 John Martin was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and grew up in Gadsden, Alabama. Carolyn Martin also grew up in Gadsden, Alabama and married John, “the boy next door”.

Dream
Catcher gathering
Led by: Muriel McMahon
A North American Hopi prophesy teaches:
 Great Spirit gathered the
peoples of this earth together… He said to the human beings, "I'm going to send
you to four directions and over time I'm going to change you to four colors, but
I'm going to give you some teachings and you will call these the Original
Teachings and when you come back together with each other you will share these
Original Teachings so that you can live and have peace on earth, and a great
civilization will come about."
Join Canadian analyst Muriel McMahon, Elder in the Algonkin First Nations
Tradition in a pre-conference Dream Catcher gathering. Muriel will share
Traditional story and song. In this gathering we will begin to come back
together with each other and share these Original Teachings so that you can live
and have peace on earth, and a great civilization will come about. You will
be invited to tie Dream Catcher ribbons to Snowdrop Dreaming (hand drum)
and share your pre-conference dreams.
Preparing for the
Sacred with Muriel McMahon
Preparing sacred space is a responsibility and a response-ability of indigenous
and land based cultures. Join Canadian analyst Muriel McMahon, Elder in the
Algonkin First Nations Tradition for teachings and experiential preparations for
conference Ceremonies. You will learn how to purify and prepare yourself, the
teaching Lodges, the gathering places, and the Ceremonial Fire circles. You will
make Prayer ties and be invited to assist in Ceremonial protocol in the First
Nations Traditions.
Going to the Land
with Muriel McMahon
Thursday Afternoon, October 14,
2-4 PM (This event is open to any participant, who arrives early enough to
participate by starting time -- no additional charge; no discount provided for
Moving Toward Wholeness.)
Indigenous wisdom teaches that our Ancient Ones inhabit the forests, mountains,
rivers, and the plains of Turtle Island. When we walk on Grandmother Turtle’s
back, we walk on the bones of our ancestors. Join Canadian analyst Muriel
McMahon, Elder in the Algonkin First Nations Tradition on an inspirational and
ceremonial walk into the beauty and mystery of Laurel Ridge. With nearly 700
acres of woods, hiking trails, waterfalls, and spectacular mountain views we
will “Go To The Land” to ask the Ancient Ones to bless our conference. We will
offer sacred tobacco to the Keepers of the seven directions. We make a food
offering to our winged, one legged, and four legged brothers and sisters. We
will hike the property and return to a small fire for Ceremony.

"I cannot define for you what God is, I can only say that my work has proved empirically that the pattern of God exists in every [hu]man, and that this pattern has at its disposal the greatest of all his energies for transformation and transfiguration of his natural being. Not only the meaning of his life but his renewal and his institutions depend on his conscious relationship with this pattern in his collective unconscious." - C. G. Jung
