The Jungian Theory of Individuation
Friday, February 21 | 7 – 9 pm​

“The individual is all important as he is the carrier of life, and his development and fulfillment are of paramount significance. It is vital for each living being to become its own telelechia and to grow into that which it was from the very beginning.” —CG Jung, in a letter to Henry Murray
This lecture continues the exploration of CG Jung’s theories that was presented by Friends of Jung-South as “Jung 101” in 2022.
Lucie Magnus will explain Jung’s understanding of the relationship between Ego and the Self in the development of personality. Her lecture will also introduce ideas from alchemical symbolism that illustrate psychological processes.
Objectives
Participants will be able to:
-
Describe the ego-self axis.
-
Define and differentiate the self/Self.
-
Explain Jung’s concept of the Collective Unconscious.
-
Explain Jung’s idea of neurosis.
WORKSHOP
The Soul’s Journey:
The Alchemical Imagination
Saturday, February 22 | 9 am – 1:30 pm
4 NBCC Contact Hours​
“I had very soon seen that analytical psychology coincided in a most curious way with alchemy.” —CG Jung, CW 12:35
CG Jung was intrigued by the endeavors of alchemists to transform lead (the “prima materia”) into gold. Through exploration and study, he realized that the alchemist’s process was a projection of their own unconscious. This realization alone allowed him to understand the unconscious better than anyone had before. He wrote that “the entire alchemical procedure…could just as well represent the individuation process in a single individual.”
This workshop presents four of the alchemical processes, or phases, that are recognizable in the work of psychotherapy and the transformation of psychic energy. Lucie Magnus will identify and give examples of processes that are specifically related to the four elements: Fire (calcinatio), Water (solutio), Earth (coagulatio), and Air (sublimatio), and how they correspond with imagery and stages encountered in the work of psychotherapy.
​Objectives
Participants will be able to:
-
Define the process of Calcinatio.
-
Define the process of Solutio.
-
Define the process of Coagulatio.
-
Define the process of Sublimatio.
