Liberation Series: Introduction to Archetypal Dreamwork
Discover the depths of dreams and the unconscious, exploring Jungian concepts through dream images, unveil The Archetypal, and follow the evolution of dream content.
In this workshop over two days we will begin with a brief lecture about Jung’s concepts of the Unconscious, the archetype and the archetypal.
Starting with the conceptual understanding of these terms we will slowly make our way to the experiential form these terms intend, specifically through working with our dream images.
By bringing the concepts to the experience of the dream image it allows us to understand the unconscious and archetype as something that we can experience - The Archetypal. This is something that is part experience and part unknown, therefore creating its own kind of image, unique to itself and unique to us.
Part one will then end with a brief introduction to Alchemy (the study of the chemical properties of psychophysical transformation) and its role in Jungian thought, wherein participants will walk away with an alchemical understanding of their dream images and instructions for further development.
Having identified the archetypal content in dream images brought in for part 1, we will explore new dreams in part 2, tracking how the archetypal content develops and evolves between dreams and what significance this has for the dreamer.
Prerequisite: a working relationship with your own dreams (i.e. have a practice of writing down your dreams, (or want the chance to!) or thinking about them).
Prep: bring a dream that has impacted you recently (can also be a fragment of one) and a journal or paper/pen.

REGISTRATION CLOSED
Jonathan Hyland, PhD (he/him)
“Working with me in Jungian psychotherapy involves actively exploring the images in your dreams, not as the unfolding of a story, but as the unfolding of the unconscious mind or soul's influence on your life.
Each session, lasting one hour, builds upon the previous one creating an embodied process of self-realization. Each dream session involves the integration of various aspects of one's personality, including conscious and unconscious elements, to actualize a balanced and authentic experience of self. The process called individuation includes confronting and transcending societal expectations, cultural conditioning, and external influences that may hinder personal development. By aligning with your truest nature, you can fulfill your unique qualities, values, and purpose.”
