This program WILL BE RECORDED.

Materials and Instructions provided by the Ancient Greeks, Their Myths and Their Customs.

Curated by Dr. Carl Jung, and Jungians ever since.

Presented by Jan Bauer, Jungian analyst

The Question: How can those ancient Greek goddesses and gods and those ancient Greek people with their ancient modes of mixing profane and sacred get us through some very troubled times, or even, more modestly, just through a day or a week at a time?

As we shall see, within some of the Big Greek Stories there are little treasures that turn out to be helpful Little Tips, surprisingly relevant, surprisingly practical sometimes even amusing. In the presentation we will look at three such tips treating the following subjects:

1. Why straight lines can be a dangerous way of trying to get someplace.

Just ask any ancient Greek temple goer

2. How heroism if excessive, can be a wounding activity as well as a saving one.

Just ask Chiron and Hercules.

3. How to live the shock of lost innocence and yet recover to re find innocence, and to accept that this is not a one-time thing; it is our life journey.

Just ask Persephone and her mom Demeter.

I want to thank the following for contributing these tips: 

Chiron, Demeter, Persephone, Hercules, and many other deities and unknown wise Greek men and women.

And thank you to Dr. Jung who made all this possible.

The Jungian Survival kit can be used by anyone at any time, It is not meant to cure a country or fix a Big Collective Problem. It just wants us to remember that not just the devil, but the gods can be found  in the details.

Jan Bauer is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Quebec, a place which represents her “third’ in a tension of opposites between places and languages. Raised in the States, she then lived, and worked and studied in Europe for 20 years. She has degrees from Boston University, the Sorbonne and the C.G. Jung Institute of Zurich. Besides private practice, her professional work has consisted of implication in the Inter Regional Society of Jungian analysts as well as teaching in both French and English in different places. Although she travels less literally today, she is glad to be able to continue to travel and practice on Zoom. She is the author of Women and Alcoholism and Impossible Love: Or Why the Heart Must Go Wrong. Other interests explored include Charisma, the Negative Mother, and Uncertainty. Jan has a strong belief in the democracy of the psyche, i.e., giving a voice to all those inner Others.  More prosaically, she also believes in the need to have a dog for many reasons, including the obligation to take long walks even in Quebec winters.
