What: Workshop
Who: Susan Tiberghien
When: Thursday
Fees: $30:00, members in advance; $40.00, general
In this workshop we will let beauty lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and of our place in the world. Simone Weil wrote, "The beauty of the world is the mouth of the labyrinth." In contemplating beauty, we are drawn inward, as if in a labyrinth. With our words we will follow beauty to the center of the labyrinth where we will find the words to both celebrate and to heal the daily beauty around us. We will write our messages to the world in the form of journals, letters, essays, short stories, or poems. There will be examples and guided writing exercises.
Susan's workshops always include the experiential; in particular, they offer many ways into the inner realms, access to the inner riches, through a variety of methods of Active Imagination. Be sure to bring your journals; all other materials and resources will be provided.
Suggested Reading includes: Memories, Dreams, Reflections by C.G. Jung; Waiting for God by Simone Weil; Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke; Circling to the Center by Susan M. Tiberghien

What: Course
Who: Sean Favretto
When: Six Thursdays
Fees: $150:00, members; $175.00, nonmembers; $125.00, full-time students and seniors over 65
Why do we sometimes find ourselves behaving in ways that shock us? What use can we make of such (very human) character traits as hostility, deceitfulness, greed, arrogance, hatefulness, and jealousy? In this course, we will explore Jung's concept of the Shadow, the repository of all the various and sundry aspects of ourselves that we deny and disavow. Banished into the uncon-scious, they derail our plans and intentions; our shadow becomes our burden and the dirty laundry that we keep from others. And yet it is also a vast treasure trove, if we have the courage to look inside and see who else we really are. Our personal Shadow can become a reservoir of hidden talents. We will read and discuss James Hollis' new book Why Good People Do Bad Things.
For this program, we intend to offer CEUs for Social Workers.
