5. THE ALCHEMICAL METAPHOR IN JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY David Freeman Date Thursdays 25 November and 2 December Time 8pm-10pm Cost £40 Subjects Covered: Alchemy/Individuation There is no questioning the centrality of alchemy in the psychology of C.G. Jung; at least three volumes of the Collected Works are devoted to it. These two seminars will give a short study of the essentials of alchemy. The first will consider the archetype of the Self that is fundamental in the Jungian system of understanding the psyche. This will lead on to the Individuation Process as is mirrored in the experiments of the ancient alchemists. Further to this, the alchemical method will be explained together with some of the most well known alchemists who are quoted by Jung. The second seminar, which together with some examples from casework, will look at the processes at work in alchemy and how Jung welcomed them as the most profound metaphor for his Individuation Process. If there is sufficient time at the end there will be a selection of alchemical ancient and modern drawings and pictures which offer perspectives of the ancient search for the philosopher’s stone and the journey of the ego towards acknowledgement of the Self. Participants are asked to not do any preliminary reading before these two sessions. Please bring with you only your own personal experiences and your imagination!
