Jungian Ecopsychology and the Green Man. November 6, 2015. C.G. Jung Foundation, Toronto The Green Man Lecture- an Archetypal Image of Masculine Oneness with Nature. Friday October 17, 2014. Calgary Jung Society.
"C G Jung's The Red Book or Liber Novus: a Lecture and discussion"
The publication in late 2009 of Carl Jung's Red Book
has set the field of Jungian studies and Analytical Psychology abuzz. Suddenly,
we have a new source for insight into what we've read in Jung’s Collected Works,
Memories, Dreams, Reflections and elsewhere. The Red Book was like
Jung’s private diary from 1914 to 1930. The pages, never published and
unavailable to the public until now, contain his own words and hand-drawn
pictures of his inner journey and struggles. We can see how he recovered his
soul and founded a psychology.
This lecture and discussion is suited
to all interested persons, from novice to advanced, and whether you have a copy
of the book yet or not. The lecture will particularly note the wellsprings of
Jung’s psychological theories in his own experiences as detailed in the Red
Book. Laurie, with his degrees in Religious Studies and interest in
Gnosticism, will particularly focus on what the Red Book reveals of
Jung’s spiritual journey and the legacy for us of his ideas of spirituality.

Friends of Jung, Detroit "The Green Man : an Archetypal image of Masculine Oneness
with Nature" Images of the "foliated face of a man" or a "green man"
are found in many places around the world and from different time periods. The
Green Man continues to appear in modern peoples' dreams and in modern rituals.
This masculine archetypal image of oneness with Nature is intriguing to both men
and women. It has been suggested that the Green Man mediates between our
imaginative world and the physical world. And that he may be the source of
inspiration for our creative endeavours. This lecture explores the stories,
images and meaning of this archetype. Friday October 23, 2009 C. G.
Jung Foundation, Toronto "The Gnostic Jung" How do we know what we know? What is truth? The Greek word gnosis
translates as “knowledge” or “insight.” Gnosticism, past and present, is
a system that explores the alienation of people from their true selves. Jung ‘discovered’ Gnosticism early in his career but continued to write
about it into the late 1950s. Jung viewed Gnostic myths as expressing
psychological meaning and he considered the Gnostics to be psychologists
exploring the unconscious. Friday April 17, 2009 Location : University of

Explained" The truly Jungian technique of active imagination is one of the most powerful
tools utilized in analysis. It is a method to raise into consciousness those
contents that lie immediately below the threshold of the unconscious. This
lecture will explain this practical method at both the beginner and advanced
stages, and also how it can be used by people not in analysis. Friday,

We have probably all experienced meaningful events or coincidences that did
not seem to obey the rules of causality, space or time. Jung
developed the
concept of synchronicity to help us understand a connecting principle that
links the material world with the psychic or psychological world. In
tonight's lecture, Jung’s ideas on synchronicity and the ways it may be of
therapeutic value will be discussed.
This day-long workshop opens with a lecture on the expressive arts. Participants
will then create their own art, pictures or sculpture. After lunch,
Jungian therapeutic approaches will be applied to the interpretation and
understanding of these media.
