This two-day workshop brings together theoretical and experiential Jungian concepts and practice together. Both days will begin with a voice and movement workshop where participants will be invited to be in their bodies consciously, move and sing, hum and express themselves through voice. All this within a Jungian framework using the imagination and felt experience. The involvement of the whole person will give participants a sense of opening physically and emotionally by starting where they are presently with their bodies and their voices.

On Saturday afternoon, a seminar will be given on the complex in general, and a discussion of complexes that may have been constellated in the morning’s experiential workshop, for example challenges to the Persona, and the appearance of a perfectionist complex. The content here will largely be influenced by feedback by participants on their experiences in the morning’s experiential voice and body work. 

On Sunday afternoon, a seminar on the child archetype will be given. We will discuss the Child archetype as a figure that anticipates the synthesis of conscious and unconscious elements in the personality, namely the Self. 

We will finish with a discussion of how the training program requires more than a learning of content for exams, but rather urges engagement with an individuation process through which candidates are changed from the inside out.  

Presented with Stacey Jenkins and David Pressault

Seminar open to OAJA Training Candidates only
