Workshops are specifically designed to meet the objectives of target audiences such as educators, social workers, counselors, administrators, parents and youth.

BETRAYAL, REVENGE AND FORGIVENESS

This workshop is based upon an intensive summer study program at The C.G. Jung Foundation of New York. Its focus is upon understanding self-esteem as it relates to self-betrayal; betrayal by others, revenge and forgiveness.

AN ARCHETYPAL LOOK AT DISPLACEMENT

The feeling of displacement has touched every human being at some moment in time. For some, this moment seems lasting, that uneasy feeling of not belonging or being in an environment that is not congruent with our inner spirit. This workshop is designed to assist the participants in beginning to view this dilemma from a positive perspective. Through stories participants will be provided with numerous examples of how this “displacement” was exactly what was needed in order for the hero/heroine to develop psychologically. In addition, participants will be supplied with the means to implement this perspective into everyday life.

PARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIPS

This workshop is designed to identify past psychological wounds and provide solutions to improve communication and diminish potential conflicts between parents and children. Underlying issues will be brought to the surface (if willing) in an attempt to curb the harmful effects of past wounds. This seminar will allow the participant to visualize and empathize with various other viewpoints and recognize the information needed to make sound decisions.

WORKING WITH ADOLESCENTS

This training is designed to assist the participants in understanding the stage of adolescence from a depth psychological perspective. Its purpose is to uncover what is called the “infinite array of potential” that this stage presents. Discussion will center on the nature of adolescence and possible remedies for increased communication between generations. Participants will take an epic journey to reexamine their experience during adolescence to better understand the present stage of their adolescent clients.

MENTORING AND THE MYTHOLOGICAL NEED FOR THE OTHER

As one journeys through life, one searches for meaning. Within this search one normally is provided assistance that comes in the form of a guide, a mentor. This mentor is there to assist one in recognizing one’s genius within. Many youth (and adults) are left to wrestle with this tumultuous period alone, if not alone, then with others who themselves are cautiously tiptoeing through this unfamiliar terrain. Through stories, participants are given assistance in their personal journeys along with tools to ascertain what it takes to be a mentor and what specifically is needed in a particular scenario.

FOLLOWING YOUR BLISS

This workshop focuses upon the second half of life, the period in which we take stock of our dreams and aspirations. Participants are provided with the character traits necessary to secure the “Water of Life.”

KNOWLEDGE OF SELF

Knowledge of Self is considered the basis of all knowledge. Individuals who have a basis of this knowledge operate with a sense of purpose and determination in all domains of their lives. These individuals are able to see beyond the surface and are imbued with an inner strength which allows them to overcome obstacles and balance the demands of work, family, dreams and the harsh realities of life. Knowledge of Self reminds one what they came to this earth to accomplish.
