ZOOM ONLY PRESENTATION:

Presentation: Re-Visioning Individuation in the 21st Century

Beginning with a brief history of the evolution of Jung’s thinking on his key conception of lifelong development, individuation. This idea first emerged during his confrontation with the unconscious as captured in his Black Books and the Red Book. During the 1920s the notion of individuation was elaborated in conjunction with his personal and clinical experiences. In exploring the evolving notion of individuation, we will consider the significance of the formulation of synchronicity in what was included and what was left unarticulated. The recently published interviews of Jung by Aniela Jaffe will be drawn upon to consider his late views on individuation from the perspective of mortality. Coupling this with contemporary developments in science, culture and analytical psychology, the presentation will put forward an expanded vision of individuation for the 21st century, reflective of the changing archetypal patterns manifesting in society.

Join us via Zoom for Dr. Cambray’s presentation with audience questions on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time.

ZOOM ONLY WORKSHOP:

Workshop: Exploring the Arc of Individuation

The workshop will pick up the main themes of the presentation but with a focus on the implication for each of us in our personal lives. Participants will be encouraged to engage in a guided imaginative encounter about the arc of their lives, noting what remains unlived and unexplored. The role of our dreams in guiding us in pursuit of individuation will be discussed in this context. Some examples from the presenter’s practice will be offered, as well as an invitation for participants to share their own material in accordance with evolving notions of the topic. A goal is to tap into the wisdom of the group and appreciate the value of interconnectedness in our re-visioning of individuation.

ZOOM ONLY PRESENTATION:

Presentation: Aging, Archetypal Images, and the Soul

Jung emphasized the creative potential of the afternoon of life, a welcome message for people in their “third act.” He urges us to cherish dream images and childhood fantasies that have remained vivid through the decades. Looking back offers older people surprising insights about how their lives have greater coherence than they realize. Such archetypal images compel attention. Full of mystery, with their own surprising interiority, they become guides through the stages of life.  
 
The evening lecture describes Jung’s fidelity to his images. As exemplified in The Red Book, working with archetypal figures happens slowly, over time, through multimodal expressive arts. Devotion to the images can help us become elders, not merely older, by living into the evolving narrative of our lives.  
 
At the end of the lecture, participants are invited to discover images that have been hanging around (literally) in a playful, surprising exercise—the starting point for Saturday’s workshop.

Workshop: Aging, Archetypal Images, and the Soul

Saturday’s workshop begins by harvesting the results of Friday night’s playful exercise. Participants will work with an archetypal figure via dialog, posture, gesture, and movement, exploring it in the same way an actor prepares for performance: by physically, mentally, and emotionally getting into the image—and allowing it to “get into” them.

Mansoor Abidi, Ph.D

Mansoor Abidi, Ph.D

Dr. Mansoor H. Abidi, is an adjunct professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where he teaches courses on alchemy, Hermeticism, and depth psychology. He holds a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology from Pacifica and is the author of The Alchemist Within: Creativity, Vocation, & Transformation. He is currently writing his second book, Hermeticism and the Alchemical Imagination: From Ancient Cosmology to Hermetic Psychology.

His work brings the ancient traditions of Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, and Sufism into conversation with Jungian and archetypal psychology, with particular attention to the imaginal realm and the symbolic processes of inner transformation. He is the founder of Inner Opus, an educational initiative devoted to exploring the relationship between ancient wisdom traditions, depth psychology, creativity, and contemporary life.

Through inneropus.org, Dr. Abidi also leads cultural and educational retreats to Italy and Egypt, bringing participants into direct encounter with the historical landscapes, sacred traditions, art, and symbolic worlds that inform his scholarship and teaching. These journeys extend his work beyond the classroom, creating opportunities to experience ancient traditions and the transformative imagination within the places from which they emerged.

November 13, 2026. 7:00 p.m.
ZOOM ONLY PRESENTATION:

Presentation: Hermeticism and the Alchemical Imagination: From Ancient Cosmology to Hermetic Psychology

Drawing from his forthcoming book in 2027 of the same title, in this lecture, Mansoor explores the historical and philosophical foundations of the Hermetic tradition, tracing its development from ancient Egyptian cosmology and Greek philosophy through Hermeticism, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and alchemy, culminating in Jung's psychological reinterpretation of the alchemical opus. Particular attention will be given to alchemy as a symbolic language of inner transformation, offering a richer philosophical context for understanding Jung's engagement with alchemical imagery and its enduring relevance to contemporary psychological life.

Join us via Zoom for Dr. Abidi’s presentation with audience questions on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.
