One of the most carefully guarded Jungian tomes, the Red Book contains the record of Jung's most personal journey. In the years 1913-1917, and with painstaking detail, Jung recorded numerous paintings, images, dialogues and reflections in his famed "confrontation with the unconscious." This work reveals his rich archetypal world and holds the inspiration for much of his pioneering theories and clinical techniques. The Red Book has been locked away for almost one hundred years because of its revealing and raw exposure of Jung's soul. Decades of negotiations with Jung's heirs led to its publication late last year in 2009. In the coming years Jungian groups around the world will be exploring this book as its publication is an historic event. Join us for one of the first explorations with a noted Jungian analyst and author.

This classic 1985 film on dreams was expanded and reissued in 2009 in a limited release production to benefit the Marion Woodman Foundation. The film was made by Fraser Boa, a Canadian analyst trained in Zurich who had been a student of Marie-Louise von Franz. It consists of his interviews with people around the world on the topic of dreams, and his in-depth interviews with Marie-Louise von Franz on the archetypal significance and amplification of the dreams narrated in the film.

The 18 twenty-five to forty-three minute segments are thematically arranged, and include expanded commentary by Marion Woodman, noted Jungian analyst and Boa's sister, on the dreams. The topics include dream structure and dream narrative, dream symbolism, shadow in dreams, the meaning of dreams, Biblical dream narratives, the nature of the Self, aspects of women's development as seen in the development of the animus, and men's development as seen in the anima, the challenge of relationships, the meaning of death, and reflections on the Dreammaker.

The weekend's immersion allows a relaxed and reflective entry into one's own experiences with dreams. Based on her long experience with her own dreams and those of her patients, von Franz's commentary offers a penetrating and enlivening view of the nature of psyche as it emerges within dreams; how one makes meanings of dreams; and how archetypal amplification assists with understanding the dream's meaning.

In this weekend collaboration with the Angela Center in Santa Rosa, commentary and discussion are facilitated by Laurel McCabe, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at Sonoma State and Coordinator of the Depth Psychology M.A. program, and Greg Bogart, Ph.D., psychotherapist and author of Dreamwork and self-healing: Unfolding the symbols of the unconscious.

Marion Woodman, LLD, DHL, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst, teacher and author of classic books on women's development, eating disorders, the conscious feminine, and integrated somatic approaches to psychological development. She is the author of The owl was a baker's daughter; The pregnant virgin; The ravaged bridegroom; Leaving my father's house; Conscious femininity; Bone: Dying into life; and coauthor of Dancing in the flames; Coming home to myself; and The maiden king.

Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) is one of the noted Jungian analysts of the twentieth century, and was a close collaborator and confidante of Jung. She is the author of numerous classic texts in Jungian psychology, among them Puer aeternus; Projection and recollection in Jungian psychology; Shadow and evil in fairytales; The feminine in fairytales; Animus and anima in fairytales; Individuation in fairytales; Creation myths; On dreams and death; Alchemy: An introduction to the symbolism and the psychology; Alchemical active imagination; On divination and synchronicity; and Number and time; and contributor to essays in edited volumes on typology, anima, and individuation.
