This pilot project aims to give a close and substantial reading of the first half of Book One of The Red Book : Liber Novus in four two-hour seminars. Participants will read the text aloud in each seminar, set it within its historical contexts, and consider relevant intertexts. We will consider its meaning and allow for its impact upon us personally and its implications for clinical practice. The Red Book is Jung’s presentation of his text in images, and the seminar will examine these images in detail and reflect on them. Participants are encouraged to use the break times and end of the day for informal conversation with the instructor and one another. Light refreshments will be provided. The program will not be recorded to ensure confidentiality among participants.
Part 2 will cover Chapter 1: "Re-finding the Soul" and Chapter 2: "Soul and God."
