Presentation: On the Psychology of Comedy What is comedy? Why is it so often paired with its dark twin tragedy? Why do we laugh? Is comedy healthy, or pathological? (Freud, who was rather dour, wrote a book on the subject, and Jung, known for his earthy humor and voluminous laugh, did not). How does comedy reveal both the admirable and repulsive in our nature, our vulgarity and our sublimity?

Nature and Art: Restorative Environments for Anxious Times Through psychology and environmental research, we are learning that one of the best antidotes for human anxiety is a restorative environment in nature, yet we find such places harder and harder to find. When pressure builds in the human psyche, people will say they want to “get away from it all,” but get away to where? We don’t heal ourselves with long lines at airports and selfies in front of famous places. This program will explore how certain landscapes and landscape art provide antidotes for our restlessness, alienation, and despair.

Restorative Visions of Nature in Japanese Art Landscapes are not just interesting -- they can be healing. For more than a century Americans have dreamed of escape through Japanese prints, with their beautiful, bucolic scenes of nature. Of the tens of thousands of Japanese prints purchased by Americans in recent decades, 90 percent are landscapes. Modern Japanese prints are the most affordable and democratic of art forms. Through the lenses of Shintoism, Buddhism, and modern psychology we will explore numerous modern Japanese prints and discuss how and why certain landscapes and landscape art portray elements that we find calming, interesting, and restorative.

Dream Interpretation: Ancient and Modern The transformative power of dreaming is a central feature of Jung’s thought, and current research has validated his revolutionary synthesis of ancient teachings about the spiritual wisdom of dreams with modern psychological theories and practices. This lecture will discuss three of Jung’s greatest innovations in this realm: his focus on “big dreams,” his method of analyzing dreams in a series, and his emphasis on the relevance of individual dreams for collective concerns. Although Jung developed these ideas in the context of his clinical work, new research not only confirms his core insights but expands the potential range of applications of dreaming as a valuable resource for personal and communal growth. Especially in these times of cultural crisis and apocalyptic anxiety, Jung’s approach to dreaming can help to reconnect us with a perennial wellspring of healing, growth, and inspiration.

Shadow Work for Conscious Relationships This interactive presentation about shadow work explores how the unconscious erupts in our lives and sabotages our relationships in repetitive arguments, criticism, distancing, projections, addictions, and life transitions. It explains why the shadow forms in childhood, how to detect it when it emerges, and how to use this practice to make a conscious relationship with it and choose different outcomes. We will explore three examples in depth, including times for self-reflection.

Archetypes and Abstract Expressionism: Intersecting Hilma af Klint and C.G. Jung This workshop is a brief sojourn into the lives and works of Swedish abstract expressionist artist and mystic Hilma af Klint, 1862 –1944, and Carl Gustaf Jung, 1875 –1961, Swiss psychiatrist, mystic, and artist. Although their paths never crossed, the striking similarities in their creations appear to stem from a collective archetypal wisdom.
In this discussion, we examine the interconnectedness of these two luminaries whose influential works, grounded in mysticism, art and science, reveal the essence of the numinous. Often elucidating the constructs of Jung’s theories of archetypes and dualism, af Klint’s artwork portrays a life steeped in scientific endeavors, privileged art education, and the will to persevere. Jung’s artwork, in large part, resulted from his encounters with the unconscious and struggles with his Shadow.
Both Jung and af Klint contributed to their fields by making the invisible visible, by formulating the path leading beyond the invisible (unconscious) to the visible (conscious). Jung argued that the unconscious could be accessed through carefully attending to dreams and visions which could result in numinosity. Af Klint’s artwork intuitively achieved the same psychic inroads which conveyed the interior (emanating from the unconscious) to the exterior (the conscious). The prescient aptitudes of both scholars reveal an uncanny sense of foretelling future events, such as sickness, death, and war.
