Jungian Analysis is a soulful method of working with life experiences and emotions. Sometimes life results in depression, numbed feelings, meaninglessness, confusion, exhaustion, addiction, loss of creativity, or spiritual emptiness. At other times, life trauma leads to painful feelings of loss, grief, anger, guilt, chronic pain, or problems with relationships at home or work. Many people seek outside support by engaging in therapy or personal growth activities.
Jungian Analysis gently proceeds at the client's pace, working from the unconsious to the conscious, to focus on the dynamics of complexes, patterns, relationships, and the development of the personality --a process C.G. Jung called individuation. Recovering feelings and reconsidering experiences generates meaning. Finding meaning opens an individual to self-acceptance, transformation, authenticity, and renewed energy for life and relationships.
CHANGING WOMAN: TRANSFORMATION GROUP FOR WOMEN IN TRANSITION
In traditional Navajo culture, it is the feminine principle that is active. Women lead social and economic affairs, head domestic groups, manage land, and control livestock. According to myth, at times of chaos and infertility, Changing Woman activates to create movement and change. It is Changing Woman who purposefully generates the anxiety and restless depression that initiate women into the next stage of life.
You are invited to join a small group of women who commit to assemble once a week for a year to engage the Changing Woman within. Facilitated by Martha Blake, licensed psychologist and Jungian analyst, the group will use the Navajo myth of Changing Woman as the entry into self-exploration and transformation. Together the group will engage deeply with the myth, explore dreams, share where the ego is stuck, and listen sensitively for where each soul longs to develop.
