Kenneally-Jung’s Concept of Individuation
Posted by: | CommentsLecture with Stephen Kenneally, Jung’s Concept of Individuation
January 20, 2012
Individuation, the lifelong development of the personality, is central to Jung’s psychology. It is the process of becoming the person one is innately meant to be. While aspects of this concept have been embraced by popular culture, the true depth and scope of Jung’s theory requires a much closer examination. Rather than merely describing a simple version of self-improvement, individuation describes an intricate process of becoming a person who can relate deeply to his or her psyche.

Stephen Kenneally, MBA, MFT – In Search of the Self
Posted by: | CommentsWorkshop with Stephen Kenneally, MBA, MFT
January 21, 2012
Jung’s concept of the Self speaks directly to the mysterious element in the psyche that inspires and brings meaning to our lives. Fifty years after Jung’s death, it remains an elusive and controversial subject. In this interactive workshop we will review various ways of thinking about the Self, the numinous as well as the dark side, so that we can better relate to the emergent forces in us that can lead to individuation, meaning, and the development of our personalities.
We will examine some archetypal material that illuminates this process, and we will explore Jung’s concepts of the opposites that are held in the Self. We will also look into the role of the shadow, the animus/anima, dreams, and active imagination in the process of relating to the Self.

JOHN GIANNINI, MA, MBA, MDiv – Workshop April 2011
Posted by: | CommentsTYPOLOGY AS THE BASIS OF A LIFE JOURNEY
Saturday Workshop: April 2, 2011
Giannini will lead participants, with their constant input, in a life journey, based on the four couplings and aided by Erik Erikson’s eight life ages, as well as Jung’s overarching two stages of life, which are discussed in Jung’s mid-life crisis, as now so amazingly described in his Red Book. Our journey with the couplings begins with an SF parental phase, followed by an ST competitive phase, then a typical mid-life crisis, a plunge into an NF creative phase of new discoveries with memories, dreams and reflections, and finally an expanded NT philosophical/spiritual phase. Giannini will seek participant input throughout.
Finally, in the NF and NT phases, Giannini will demonstrate that the intuitive function here not only embraces the other types, but also is found in the essence of every archetype, every synchronicity experience, and finally constitutes the basic structure of the synchronicity principle, which Jung described as the “universal substratum in the environment,” and so of psyche.

Workshop: Saturday, November 20, 2010
What is your true type? We will come to clarity as a group on this process for each participant. In the process we learn more about the nuances and power of the dynamics of the model. With this information you will be able to understand what your development path forward tells you about how to recognize stages of stress in yourself and in those around you, as well as what you can learn from the clarity you find in the nature of your type’s shadow.
