Saturdays: March 29, April 5, April 12, 2025, 10-12:30 am EST

Format: Interactive. We will attempt to see how Jung’s ideas work out when we attempt to apply them in our own psychology and in our personal experience.

What is the Animus? 

Both the Feminine and the Masculine are present in all of us. In a woman the Inner Masculine energy is called the Animus.

How does it come into being? How does it manifest in our lives, both positively and negatively? How can we dialogue with the Animus? These are the essential questions that the seminars will address.

We will spend some time exploring the theme of the killer Animus in the Fairy Tale Bluebeard and we will look at a possible transformation of the Animus: from enemy to friend, from obstacle to “torch bearer”.

Excerpts from the movies Elizabeth (S. Kapur, 1998) and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (D. Fincher, 2011) will be presented as well as some Tango performances in which Anima and Animus dance together.
