Desire, Confusion, and Transformation (Hybrid)

When we do not know what we desire, or we cannot understand its powerful effects on us, we become confused and psychically dismembered. Through these three fairy tales, we can discover powerful archetypal symbols that help us untangle our moments of confusion and frustration. We will explore several alchemical symbols, including the alchemical round of transformation, to illustrate how the psyche can re-member and reconstitute itself. The psyche's ability for transformation is a powerful -yet it is also dangerous force if left unattended. A brief active imagination exercise will help integrate the contents.

*The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (TBHEC) has stopped pre-certifying ANY Continuing Education or Professional Development for mental health providers. The Jung Center cannot guarantee that the programs we provide will qualify for continuing education or Professional Development, nor can any other agency. The Jung Center uses high educational standards when selecting to designate events as "potentially appropriate for CEs", and in evaluating the outcomes of our educational services, and we believe them to meet the requirements of state licensing bodies.
