the stone is an orphan
—C.G. Jung
What happens to the psyche of one who has been held, for most of her adult life, in the container of a Jungian analysis, after termination? The magnet has been strong, the center has held, then it is gone. As Jung says: "In the dark of the enigma the psyche gazes at herself."
What happens now? Does she fly into many fragments? Do the old hob goblins return? Or is she revealed to herself in her clearly faceted, crystalline, essential nature?
There are as many versions of this story as there are those who come to the end of a long analysis. This version will be told as it has been informed by alchemy and the making of poems.
Workshop: Saturday, December 11, 2004, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Good Shepherd Center, Room 202, 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N., Seattle

esse in anima (be in the soul)
—C.G. Jung
If, with Jung, you understand the Self, the sacred, as the unconscious, then writing
out of a connection to the unconscious is a spiritual practice.
In this workshop we will learn how to cultivate our own sacred language. We will
listen to poems that express the divine. We will use writing exercises to open
ourselves to our deepest words.
For those who write and those who want to write.
