Drink from the spring of the I Ching
 
The I Ching is a much-revered ancient Chinese oracle rooted in an organic view of the cosmos. Carl Jung recognized its value as a method of exploring the unconscious. He respected the traditional belief that it is a book with a living soul.

In this 8 class course, Qi Zhang deepens the connections between Jungian psychology and this ancient wisdom book. She’ll explore the dualities of feminine and masculine, dragon and mare, fire and water in terms of energy exchange and the cycles of nature. She’ll approach the symbols, myths and stories found in the I Ching as only someone who knows Chinese culture from within can.

Step into the living waters that flow from ancient China to your soul.

Course Description

This course with Qi Zhang is a special opportunity to enter the often baffling world of the I Ching with an expert guide. Qi interprets the dynamics, symbols and myths of the I Ching with her deep knowledge of Jungian psychology. She also speaks from decades of life experience and family immersion in the life of the I Ching.

Qi opens this course by recapping the relationship between the 8 trigrams and the elements they represent.

In her introductory course to the I Ching, also available on the Jung Platform, Qi presented the elements of nature as energy units that interact with each other. The 64 hexagrams of the I Ching represent these 8 elements in all their possible couplings. Throwing the coins or yarrow stalks creates a hexagram that is an elemental mirror image of our life moment. The creative potential of Heaven, the receptive capacity of Earth, the properties of water, fire, thunder, mountain, lake and wind all reflect our inner states and outer postures in the world. Their combinations portray the many subtle shades and hues of social relationships, cosmic phases and inner moods.

In the following 7 classes Qi Zhang moves deeper into the mysteries of the I Ching’s wisdom. She discusses how balancing creative and receptive energies is related to what Jung called individuation. She explores how the Chinese images of the dragon and the mare correspond to Jung’s ideas about the anima and animus. She shares how fire and water can help us understand the interplay of head and heart. She discusses how the I Ching views time as cyclical rather than linear. Finally, she closes the course by offering another way the I Ching helps us tell our own story.
