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.

Past Jungian Lectures and Seminars by Laurie Savlov
Friday October 12, 2007 "Active Imagination Explained" CG Jung Foundation, Toronto.
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, April 13, 2007 "Synchronicity Explained" CG Jung Foundation, Toronto.
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.

Friday October 15, 2004 "The Symbolic Attitude" at Main Auditorium, Michener Institute, 222 St. Patrick St., Toronto.
This lecture will take a closer look at Jung’s view of the way that symbols form within our psyches. We’ll then consider what Jung calls the “symbolic attitude.” Jung says that the symbolic attitude is “a definite view of the world which assigns meaning to events, and attaches to this meaning a greater value than to bare facts.” This lecture will serve as a practical guide to show you how you can work to develop a symbolic attitude in your everyday life.Sundays May 9 &16, 2004 "Eating Disorders and Desire: A Jungian Approach" at Jung Foundation, Toronto.
