From the Editor "What is individuation, exactly?"    August 2005
As I gather the pieces of this collective newsletter, I am impressed anew with the scope of programs for the year to come. You will find inside a roster of fascinating lectures, workshops, small groups, and salons. You will also see an extensive "Help Wanted" section! Over the past year, a great deal of time and energy was given by a relatively small group of generous souls. Some of them are relinquishing their roles. If you don't have a job in the Society, or if you would like a different one, we hope you will consider adopting one of those listed in Help Wanted. There's great satisfaction in doing a job that matches one's own temperament. (More...)

From the Editor's Desk: Calling All Moral Intelligences    January 2005
We begin 2005 faced with a puzzle: what's wrong with the other half of Americans? Regardless of whether your candidate won or lost in November, you know that approximately half of America disagreed with you. Our country feels angrily, stubbornly split. On the other hand our agenda as Jungians is a journey toward individual and collective wholeness. So the question is relevant to Q readers: Q is for Quest.  (More...)

The Recipe for Alchemy    March 2004
Carl Jung believed we humans have the ability to transform ourselves -- to deepen and broaden our strengths and fill in, tunnel under, or bridge over our gaps... Jung unequivocally believed we have within ourselves the power to commit alchemy; we are able to turn our experiences from one form into another.   (More...)

Encountering the Other     December 2003
In October, I attended the North American Conference of Jungian Analysts held in Montreal, Quebec. The theme of this year's conference was THE OTHER; Explorations of Alterity in Analytical Psychology. The focus was on the relationship between Self and Other that lies not only in our outer relationships, but also at the foundation of the intra-psychic world within each of us, i.e., our individual relationship to the Unconscious.   (More...)

The Resilient Spirit Illustrated    December 2003
This article will describe how my changing subjective self-concept was illustrated in changing dream symbols at specific times over my lifetime.  (More...)

Jung In the World Today
Looking Forward to the 2003-2004 Lecture Series    September 2003

The War in Iraq and the hunt for Osama Bin Laden left (and still leaves) many of the people of Iraq and Afghanistan living in terror, critically injured, or dead. Our country's hunger for retribution was fed by the collapse of the Twin Towers and the attack on the Pentagon. (More...)

The Archetypal Phenomenon of Love in War     March 2003
On a rainy November weekend in Santa Barbara, California, the sky as dismal as the possibility of our country's going to war, hundreds of people gathered to hear James Hillman, Jungian analyst and founder of archetypal psychology, discuss "Our Terrible Love of War". (More...)

The Developing Dream    December 2002
Eleven years ago in early December, about eight people met for a holiday party at the Sarasota home of Nancy Anderson to plan a study group....At one such meeting, Dr. Hoppin showed Nancy and me her extensive library, and informed us that she would like her wonderful collection eventually to become the nucleus of a vital Jung Society in Sarasota. (More...)

Welcome to the New Q    December 2002
We have a new name to mark a new beginning. The name represents our Quest to continue searching for new answers to old questions though our continued study of Jung and others he inspired. (More...)

The Healing Power of the Dream    September 2002
 In the distant origin of Western medicine, Hippocrates and the healing priesthood of the Asklepiades diagnosed illness by interpreting "the healing dream". (More...)

The Path of Love    March 2002
Recently I came across a small book of love poems by Rumi and other Sufi poets. It is called RUMI- the Path of Love by Manuela Dunn Mascetti.* This is not the first time I have come across Rumi, but this small book is a bit different. (More...)

The Making of Wholeness   December 2001
There is an African folk story of Hilolombi, the Creator, who held a lamp in his hand that brought light into the world. But after his firstborn, Kwan, committed incest with his mother, Hilolombi dropped the lamp and it shattered into a thousand pieces. (More...)
