Alternate Thursdays, beginning September 13th, 2012 @ 7:00 until February 14, 2013.

This shall be what I call “Attentive Meandering”, as we continue reading Jung’s “Dream Seminars” in a serious study of his work, as well as a jumping off place for our own explorations into dreams and the symbolic life.

As Jung analyses his patient’s dreams, amplified by myth and culture worldwide, so may we (if desired or applicable) bring in our own dreams and notions as we mull, question and ponder on the utterances arising from the depths of the psyche as they fill out the realities of our daily lives.

Nomi Kluger-Nash, Ph.D., Jungian Psychotherapist, is a psychologist and author with her doctorate in Analytical Psychology and her analytic training at the Jung Institutes of Los Angeles and Israel.  She teaches at the Jung Institute in Switzerland and has a private practice in Amherst. WHEN: Alternate Thursdays beginning September 13, 2012 WHERE: Nomi’s house in South Amherst, MA COST: $10.00 – $15.00 per 2 hour sessions (depending on individual’s means) TO REGISTER CALL: 413-230-3909 or EMAIL: woodwinds1@comast.net

“The unconscious can only be reached by symbols . . . The symbol is the primitive exponent of the unconscious, and at the same time an idea that corresponds to the highest intuitions of the unconscious mind.” CG Jung (CW 13, p. 28)

This workshop will familiarize you with the foundation of Jung’s life and his basic concepts. Terms such as shadow, complex, individuation, ego, Self, symbol, typology, personal and collective unconscious, etc. will be explored. Jung never meant his work to be just an intellectual exercise, so we will discuss how his ideas relate to our real lives. The format will be lecture and discussion. Film clips and case material will augment our understanding.  No prior knowledge is required.

JUNG SPEAKING:
THE DREAM SEMINARS
Zürich 1928 – 1930

Explorations in Theory and Practice

A Weekly Workshop, November 18, 2011 – January 13, 2012
Hosted by Nomi Kluger-Nash, Ph.D.

These conversational and off the cuff seminars which Jung held for his students were not meant for publication. They therefore carry a liveliness of spirit and a goodly glimpse into his mind and heart as we hear him developing his thoughts and responding to comments.

Our aim in this workshop is to carry on with our own spirited heart and mind as we ponder and question from our variety of backgrounds the richness of symbolic material and its place in analysis. Contrasts and comparisons are welcome. Personal experience is invited.

To be held in Amherst, on Fridays at 7:00 p.m. excluding those Fridays that coincide with the lectures of the Jung Center of Western Massachusetts, which sessions (2) will be credited or replaced with additional sessions

Tuition is $185.00. Refreshments will be served.
Certificates of Attendance will be provided for the 16 hours of participation

“It is important that the doctor admits he does not know; then both (patient and doctor) are ready to accept the impartial facts of nature, scientific realities. Personal opinions are more or less arbitrary judgments and may be all wrong; we are never sure of being right. Therefore we should seek the facts provided by dreams. Dreams are objective facts. They do not answer our expectations, and we have not invented them ….”
C. G. Jung, Dream Seminar 1928

APPROACHING DESIRE–
A weekend of Active Imagination

Hosted by
Nomi Kluger-Nash, Ph.D.

Amherst, October 28-30, 2011
Friday evening to Sunday afternoon

“I am alone, so there are four of us.”
Gaston Bachelard

A Gathering of eight people are cordially invited to experience a weekend of Active Imagination. Approaching the psyche via reverie and art reveals a realm that desires to be heard and seen, just as we in turn desire to be reflected, heard and seen.

Who are those characters that approach us in dreams – and how do we in turn approach them? Furthermore, what do they tell us of that which is approaching? Desire may be the keyword.

We will allow interplay between the worlds of waking, and dream’s light of fantasy, in combinations of structure and flowing improvisation.

Cost is $220 including art materials (pastels, paint and clay)
Refreshments and two full lunches.
Certificates of Attendance will be provided

Nomi Kluger-Nash is a Jungian psychologist and therapist in practice since 1977. She comes from a varied background of careers and teaches summers at the Jung Institute in Switzerland.

AN ACTIVE APPROACH TO DREAMS RETREAT

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2011:
11 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

Wilmot Flat, NH
(Lake Sunapee area)

ERICA LORENTZ, MEd, LPC,
JUNGIAN ANALYST

Dreams are our inner teaching stories. They are personal and sacred and guide us to what is unconscious in our psyche that needs to be heard and integrated. Each dream is perfect and only needs our conscious devotion to decipher its message.

In this retreat, we will hear a brief history of dreams from cultural perspectives. Then, we will use writing, drawing, and movement to explore a dialogue with our dream symbols helping us to transform who we think we are into our true nature.

Finally, we will respectfully learn how to facilitate each person’s process and make sure that his/her unique story is honored and not interpreted or projected onto by others. No prior experience is necessary, just an openness to attend to our inner world. Bring your lunch please.
