“Only here, in life on earth, where the opposites clash together, can the
general level of consciousness be raised” C.G. Jung
Near the end of his life, C.G. Jung wrote that in his mind the purpose of human existence was “to kindle light in the darkness of mere being” by “creating more consciousness.” He also noted that the consciousness of any group depends upon the degree of consciousness of its members.
With these notions in mind, we will reflect upon the nature of consciousness and then examine the current state of consciousness of the American soul. In other words, we will consider how societal issues and political trends illumine the themes pressing upon us for greater consciousness and integration. This will entail some additional reflection on the American persona and shadow. There will be time for questions and discussion.

“The contents of our unconscious are constantly being projected
into our surroundings” C.G. Jung
Projection is often thought of as a negative or problematic aspect of human relations. It is, however, a natural process that can foster awareness and development. Most importantly, projections cannot be avoided. We participate in our own and others’ projections on both the personal and collective level. Projections are often dismissed as “just a projection”, as if they were nothing. They are much more than nothing: they are powerful psychic energies that play their parts in all interactions.
By attending to our inevitable projections onto others and the world around us, we can learn a great deal. In this workshop, we will explore the history of human projections and discuss the role projections continue to play in our personal, professional, and cultural lives. We will look at one fairy tale in depth to observe how projections are activated and contribute to misunderstanding and ignorance when not more closely examined. Finally, we will discuss ways in which we can work to recognize projections, and learn to withdraw or modify them when necessary.
