Winter 2007 Workshop Offerings
Greetings, and welcome to our November news update.
The Board of Directors of the Jungian Center held its annual meeting on October 24th, a gathering that celebrated the creation and initial year of operation of the Center. The Board took note of the hard work that went into the creation of the Center’s catalog, student and faculty handbooks, and the policy handbook. If you would like copies of any of these (aside from the catalog, which is available at the Center’s Web site), please contact us with your mailing address and we will be happy to send you these items.
We are now in the midst of planning the courses that will be offered at various locations around northern Vermont in the Winter term (January-April). We will be advertising these in Seven Days, as well as through flyers and posters in the Burlington, Waterbury and Montpelier areas.
If you live outside northern Vermont, please be aware that many of our courses can be taken via distance learning, and you don’t have to wait for us to formally advertise a course offering: If you are interested in any course listed on our Web site, please contact us to see if it is suitable for distance learning, and we will send you the particulars about signing up.
The following are SOME of the courses we will be running in the months ahead. We will update this list as faculty contact us with details of the courses and workshops they are planning to offer.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Learn how to work with your dreams, connect to your inner life and empower yourself in a safe, supportive setting. Led by Dr. Sue Mehrtens, teacher and author, with over 30 years of experience in Jungian analysis, dreamwork and leading adult programs.
This four-week workshop explores the methods, experiences, and applications of dream work, drawing upon our historical and cultural heritage. A wide array of psychological theories underpinning the study of dreams is also included. Students are required to maintain a dream journal, and to attempt analysis of their own dreams and those of their classmates. Hands-on experience in dream interpretation is stressed.
INTRODUCTION TO TIBETAN BUDDHIST MEDITATION, Jan 13, 10-5, 55 Clover Lane, Waterbury; suggested contribution, $15; Info. call Sue, 802-244-7909 or Herb 802-223-6822. Learn the basics of this very powerful approach to meditation from an experienced student of Tibetan Buddhism. Led by Dr. Herb Propper, teacher and student of Lama Norlha, Rinpoche.
This one-day workshop provides participants with a variety of experiences drawn from the rich tradition of Tibetan meditation practices. Targeting anyone interested in exploring this form of meditation, it presumes no familiarity with Buddhism or experience with other types of meditation.
FINDING YOUR MISSION IN LIFE, Feb 3 & 17, Mar 10, 2-5PM, plus individual session, 55 Clover Lane, Waterbury VT; $75; Info, call Sue, 802-244-7909. Discover the unique way you are meant to make a difference in the world and open your life to joy, meaning and wonder. Led by Dr. Sue Mehrtens, teacher and author.
Every person alive has a unique soul mission, a special way he or she is meant to make a difference in the world. When we discover our purpose we open our lives to greater joy, meaning and wonder. Using techniques suggested by the holistic healer Edgar Cayce, students handle a variety of tools and instruments to determine their purpose for living. Besides learning ways to get intuitive guidance about personal mission, participants in this workshop also discover their personality type and assess their range of talents.
VISIONEERING, Jan 7, Feb 4, Mar 4, Apr 1, 2-5PM, in Burlington or Waterbury; $90. Info, call Sue, 802-244-7909. Learn a scientifically-based technology to harness the power of vision that allows you to create the future out of the future and move your life ahead. Led by Dr. Sue Mehrtens, teacher and author.
This workshop applies Bernoulli’s principle (the basis for all forms of aerodynamics) to the realm of personal life, to jump-start dreams and hopes we have for the future. Participants learn what vision is, the power it has, and how to use it in very practical, grounded ways, to bring about changes in their own lives. With over 30 exercises, and a modicum of readings, this 12-hour workshop runs over 4 months (meeting on one afternoon a month), to allow members the time to develop a vision, apply the principles and use the exercises to realize a dream. Topics include the 4 stages of the visioneering process; the laws and principles behind the process; visioncasting; requirements and implications of visioneering; incubating a vision; your personal situation, timing and potentials; synchronicities and other signs; the ask-seek-knock process and the use of the “positive pause.”
INTRODUCTION TO JUNG, Jan 10,17,24,31, 7-9PM, at 55 Clover Lane, Waterbury VT; $50. Info, call Sue, 802-244-7909. Get a basic overview of Jung, his thought & legacy, along with hands-on work; learn your type, your unique set of activated archetypes and more. Led by Dr. Sue Mehrtens, teacher and author.
A basic overview of Jung, the man, his thought, and his legacy to psychology and our world. As a primer on Jungiana, this course introduces key concepts in Jung’s thought, e.g. the shadow, the anima/animus, archetypes, the 4 functions, the 2 orientations, the personality types, the collective unconscious, the complex, compensation, enantiodromia, imagoes, individuation, introjection, libido, the night sea journey, the levels of the unconscious, projection, identification, the psyche, the Self, the self-regulation of the psyche, the meaning and value of symbols, the temenos, synchronicity, and the transcendent function. In addition, the course describes the major stages in the individuation process (like the mortificatio, the transitio, the coniunctio), and offers a portrait of the process of Jungian analysis. In the experiential component, participants gain hands-on experience doing dream interpretation, identifying their personality type, and discovering their unique set of activated archetypes. Highly recommended for all who plan to take courses in alchemy, archetypal psychology, field theory, the psychonaut’s journey, Jungian dream theory and practice, the Mysterium Coniunctionis, and the psychology of dreaming.
Other workshops now being planned:
Creative Writing with Soul II, led by Janet Schneider; a follow-up to the very popular initial course that ran in Fall 2006. Details will be posted in our next blog.
