In this class we will take the spiritual journey of transforming our Co-Dependency and its role within the addictive family system. We will use trusted tools such as The Bowen Family System Theory as a special guide, as we keep a spiritual focus through developing a deeper understanding of the power of the Differentiation of Self. We will learn how Co-Dependency cannot sustain itself once one person within the addictive family begins the journey of recovery. The crisis of transformation for the Co-Dependent also calls for listening to the spiritual call and submission of recovery.

Morning sessions open to students not enrolled in the grad program.

Spiritual Mentoring requires learning the language of the higher nature and its inner contact. A deep understanding of the basic process of transformation is our focus, as well as the relationship to levels of self and to others, inner and outer.

But as he learns to use the new function more deliberately,...

Carl Gustav Jung, the founder of Jungian Psychology, explored the inner subjective world of the psyche developing a personal methodology of psychotherapy. This form of therapy relied heavily on exploring one's dreams as a direct route and guide into the unconscious so that the personality could consciously dissolve restrictive and limiting energetic patterns known as a complex.

The Archetype of Shadow is probably the easiest of the archetypes for most people to experience, and yet can hold a great deal of resistance for many. Resolution of this tension, or pattern of energy, is inherent in Jungian Shadow Work and an essential factor of personality integration.

Jay has been working with a Jungian Analyst for a little over a year in Shadow Work. He offers personal insights of this process to engage participants in open dialogue with Shadow using creative expression, interaction, and the use of the Kabbalah Tree of Life and Haindl Tarot to explore the use of Shadow as a process of personality integration.
