Course Overview

Upon enrollment, you’ll receive immediate access to a brief video introducing this course. You will also receive access to the companion guide for class 1 and 2. Early access to this guide aims to assist those eager to begin their personal exploration even before the first class.

Class 1 The Individuation Process

In this first class we will explore one of the key concepts in Jungian psychology: the individuation process and how it plays out in our lives.

Class 2 Shadow Work and the Body  

In this second class we will explore Jung’s concept of the Shadow. The Shadow refers to parts that we are unaware of. The body will be the focus of attention in this class while we explore our own shadow.

Class 3 The Shadow in Relationships 

Shadow work enhances intimacy by fostering awareness that our perceptions of others may be influenced by our own unconscious material. In this third class, we will explore how our own shadow shows up in relationships.

Note! We follow US times. On this date the USA has changed to daylights saving. Europe hasn’t yet…..

Class 4 Shadow Work and Complexes 

In essence, awareness of complexes is a key step toward greater self-understanding and psychological well-being. This class focuses on learning about our own complexes and the inner work that can be done.

Class 5 Stories and Fairy Tales 

Stories and fairy tales offer rich symbolic narratives that may provide valuable insights into archetypal patterns in our lives. This class assists in discovering stories that hold personal relevance.

Class 6 Dreamwork  

Dreamwork is beneficial as it cultivates an ongoing relationship with the unconscious. Dreamwork can provide important insights and offer us guidance. In this class, a few simple dreamwork techniques are presented.

Class 7 Conversing with Images

In this seventh class, we will explore why working with images and the imagination is meaningful. Exercises will be done so we can experience image work and understand how it is essential in the process of becoming who we truly are.

By honoring the individuation process, we live in a manner that respects the depth and mystery inherent in our journey. The eighth class explores the individual aspects of embracing a soulful life.
