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.

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.

Individuation: The Dance between Ego and Self

  • First Unitarian Church of Cleveland (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

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.
