Carl Gustav Jung's Red Book is a description of Jung's encounter with his soul. Some say that it's also about his mid-life crisis, during which Jung asks himself what he must do with his life. He questions the strong possibility that his current thinking about the human psyche may need to shift to another way of exploring what lies behind the observable.
Jung developed the Red Book, both writing and art work, beginning in 1913. He developed many of the concepts of his Analytic Psychology while he wrote the Red Book, essentially his look into himself, revealing insights into a new dimension of the inner world and of the innermost dimension of the powerful psyche. All his future writings are in essence the elaboration, expansion, amplification, and organization of his experience with the erupting manifestations of his inner world into his consciousness. The book remained unpub-lished for nearly 100 years. After his death in 1961, it remained in the possession of his family and was not published widely until 2009.
Erminia Scarcella, M.D., is a psychiatrist and psychoanalist in private practice in Washington D.C. She teaches at GWU and recently also at Howard University.

She has been Chapter and National President of the America Society of Psychoanalytic Physicians. She has been a Trustee of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry. She has worked full time at VAMC and WRAMC before becoming fully dedicated to her private practice. Dr. Scarcella is a neuropsychiatrist in Italy, her country of origin, and is Designated Physician of the Embassy of Italy. She is the President of Jung Society of Washington.

Who: April Barrett
When: 5 Thursdays
Fees: $50.00, members in advance; $75.00, general
From the Back Matter: In the face of loss and absence, we must again ask what makes us feel connected to the source of aliveness. Yet, we must also understand that feeling fully alive means that we must come to fresh insight about the contrary of aliveness, which is deadness. Both aliveness and deadness are part of the same fabric of being. But how do we talk about them?
Ann Belford Ulanov is the Christiane Brooks Johnson professor of psychiatry and religion at Union Theological Seminary, a psychoanalyst in private practice, and a supervising analyst and faculty member of the C.G. Jung Institute, New York, New York.

Our lives course with stories, stories that run through us from ancestors, stories that we tell others and tell ourselves, and stories of which we are unaware and therefore tell us.

All eternal joy longs for failures.
For all joy wants itself, hence it also wants agony.
O happiness, O pain! Oh, break, heart!
You higher men do learn this, joy wants eternity.
Joy wants the eternity of all things, wants deep, wants deep eternity.
-The Second Dance-Song, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra is written in four parts and it is said to be the masterpiece of his life's work. The book has become a classic, and it is regarded by many as belonging to both philosophy and literature. Many of the themes in Nietzsche's earlier philosophy are central to the teachings and preaching of the prophet Zarathustra: the struggle between light and dark, the denial of the body, the contempt for the earth, the mortification of the will, the failure of metaphysics and morality, morality as anti-nature, his objection to the ascetic ideal and his advocacy of freedom from the prejudices of religion and society. The central idea of the entire work is the notion of self "overcoming," the theme of the "overman," and the "eternal return" to the joy of deep eternity.
Jung developed an interest in Nietzsche after his break with Freud, and it is said that "he plunged with enthusiasm" into his writings. The Seminar on Nietzsche's Zarathustra took place from 1934 - 1939, and Jung saw in Nietzsche's brilliance a philosopher who was different from those who had gone before him; through his own brilliance he throws light on Nietzsche's philosophical ideas, but more importantly, on the philosopher, himself, and his gradual decline into madness. Nietzsche had regard for the symbolic and the psychological, and he saw the irrational world of dream, fantasy, image, and instinct as a source of knowledge. This became a source of inspiration for Jung's own psychological ideas. In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, we find "poems, sermons, dreams, visions, songs, stories," and in Jung's Seminar we find a commentary on Nietzsche's symbolism that is not to be found elsewhere.
It is anticipated that parts 1 and 2 will be covered in the Spring and parts 3 and 4 in the Fall.

What: An Evening With...
Who: Sandra Geller
When: Friday
Fees: $15.00, members in advance; $20.00, general, $10.00, full-time student members and senior members
In a free and protected space the act of playing in the sand allows the (client) to come near his own totality. -Dora Kalff
Both C.G. Jung and Dora Kalff believed that the process of sandplay facilitates individuation. In sandplay we express the inner world through symbols and metaphors. The process is experiential, and because we work from inner guidance, we are close to the mystery. Jung's technique of active imagination will help us to bridge the symbolic and bring the meaning and experience of the sand tray into a verbal format for incorporation into our outer world. It is a powerful therapeutic modality suited for all ages. It encourages us to be playful, imaginative, and creative.
In this evening session you will be given some back-ground and guidelines. Then each will have an opportunity to experience creating a small sandtray. Each participant is asked to bring five to 10 miniatures, which may be " found objects" labeled with your name. The miniatures, which may be shared, will be taken home at the close of the evening. Bring your curiosity and the willingness to discover another way of knowing the Self.
Sondra Geller is a Jungian analyst, Board Certified Art Therapist, and Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and Washington DC. She has incorporated work with image, symbol, psyche, and soul for over 30 years. Her extensive background in the Expressive Arts Therapies brings a particular depth to her work as a Jungian Analyst, one discipline enriching the other. She has lectured and presented workshops for many years, most recently in Kusnacht, Switzerland. She also studied with Betty Jackson a certified teaching member of Sandplay Therapists International.
