Stories have been told throughout history since the time of cave men. Over the centuries, this has evolved into modern cinema, television, and even video games - but some of the most well known fables and fairy tales have endured and are still told today. Myths & Monsters is a 6-part documentary that chronicles the origin of some of the best known stories in Western culture.
The episodes begin with a well crafted introduction that gives a brief overview on the content of the documentary before diving into the meat of the series. This opening episode, dubbed Heroes & Villains, introduces the Hero’s Journey template as depicted in the book The Hero With A Thousand Faces and explains how each story is crafted around this and explores the ones that defy this template.
We will watch the first 2 episodes together and then have time for discussion.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
Adina Davidson, Ph.D., LISW is in her final year of Jungian analytic training. She is in private practice in Cleveland Heights and Beachwood and serves as an Adjunct Professor at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

SYNCHRONICITY
February 6th, 6:30-8:00 pm at Forest Hill Church Presbyterian, 3031 Monticello Blvd, Cleveland Heights OH 44118
Free for members/$5 non-member, no pre-registration required
DESCRIPTION:
In 1913, Jung began to have visions that foretold Europe’s plunge into World War I. How could this be? How could his psyche have connected to an event yet to occur? It would take another 30 years before Jung dove into this dilemma. Sparked by his correspondence with the famous physicist, Wolfgang Pauli, Jung would ponder the ultimate unity between the physical and psychic realms until his death in 1961. Come learn about the definition of synchronicity and join discussion about how we, as individuals, experience meaningful “coincidences” in our own lives.

Hallie B. Durchslag, Ph.D., LISW-S, is a Jungian-based psychotherapist with a private practice in Cleveland Heights, OH. She is a field instructor for the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, and is President of the Jung Educational Center of Cleveland.
The Wound as Bridge to the Numinous
Free for members, $5 non-members, no pre-registration required
6:30-8:00 pm Forest Hill Church Presbyterian
Wounding is a fundamental part of human experience that can connect us to undeveloped and unknown aspects of ourselves, to deeper experiences of the soul, and to the mysteries of life, which can be numinous. Laura Chapman, Jungian Analyst, will discuss ways in which the material generated from our wounded places can be integrated to shape our consciousness as we evolve.
ABOUT LAURA CHAPMAN
Laura Chapman is a Jungian Analyst (2017) in private practice since 1980. Laura is an active member of Jung Cleveland as well as the Pittsburgh Society of Jungian Analysts (PSJA). She is also a member of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts (IRSJA) and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP). Laura’s early work as a psychotherapist included a somatic approach aimed at developing the awareness between the body and mental/emotional processes. Her continued interest is how the conscious exploration of one’s wounded places can facilitate an opening for change, growth and the possibility of transformation.
Join us for this gentle opening to what the unconscious offers each of us at this liminal time. Wear comfortable clothes and bring your drum and rattle, if you have them. After a brief introduction and an optional sage smudging outside, we will pass a talking stick for a check in. People will then make themselves comfortable and open to inner experience, while Dyane drums for 20-30 minutes. We will segue into a group drumming and rattling. We will again pass the talking stick for optional sharing of the experience.
Dyane Sherwood is a Licensed Psychologist and Jungian Analyst, Certified in both Adult and in Child and Adolescent Analysis, and a Certified Sandplay Therapist. She has a private practice in Oberlin, OH.
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Is there a larger driving force invested in our personal growth? Jung's unique notion of individuation offers a model of partnership between consciousness and the unconscious that offers paths to new insights and change, sometimes in spite of ourselves!
Join us as we define concepts of ego, Self, individuation, and the ego-Self axis, and explore how it can inform our ways of being in the world.
Facilitated by Jung Cleveland board members.
6:30-8:00 pm
Dreams can be a guide to the unknown aspects of psyche. When we try to get to know these hidden parts of ourselves, we move toward wholeness. This will be an introduction to working with our dreams in a small group setting. We will discuss techniques, but will not work with participants dreams. If there is interest, we will work toward forming additional ongoing dream groups. This program will be facilitated by Jung Cleveland Board members.
6:30-8:00 pm
Come learn the language of Jung! Join us as we review Jung’s career, examine the roots of his theories, and tackle the definitions and terminology that are the “bread and butter” of analytical psychology.
6:30 pm -- 8:00 pm
Cave of Forgotten Dreams, a beautiful and haunting documentary by Werner Herzog, poses the Jungian question of whether creativity is archetypal. The answer seems clear... creativity is just as integral to human nature as the drive toward sex or death. Screening of the film will be followed by a short discussion facilitated by Adina Davidson, Ph.D

We received such positive feedback about Dyane's drumming program, we will be offering it again. Ritual and connection to the natural world are central to nurturing imagination and the numinous.

“Thomas Kirsch is by now the elder states person of analytical psychology. This is the most personal, revealing and thought provoking interview he has given.” —Andrew Samuels
“Murray Stein’s sensitive and probing questioning allows Dr. Kirsch’s exacting memory of people, places, and issues of different eras in his long life career as a Jungian to flow like the film’s music - with a warmth and beauty that is both touching and enlightening.” —Tom Singer

Cost: $5

In his lecture about eight different psychological phenomena, Jerry Kroth, Ph.D., will take a closer look at those considered taboo in the current deterministic and mechanistic scientific landscape and those which challenge any such reduction of soul and human experience. Honing in on near death experiences, psychic dreams, telepathy, synchronicity, premonitions, creative possession, archetypes, and paranormal activity, this presentation has a deeply Jungian flavor, and those interested in Jungian psychology will find it a fascinating lens from which to explore constructs in today’s scientific landscape.

In addition, he has an abiding therapeutic interest in working with dreams, personal oracles, and the applications of dream theory to psychohistory.
