SUMMARY:STA Fall Workshop - Generational Individuation: Exposing Ancestral 
 Shadows and Fostering Resilience through Sandplay Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Description:\n\nIn Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections Car
 l Jung describes the dynamics of ancestral transmissions as “an imperson
 al karma that passes from parents to children\, to complete or perhaps con
 tinue things which previous ages have left unfinished” (p. 233).\n\nIn t
 his presentation I explore how generational transmissions of shame and res
 iliency are aspects of the individuation process\, and contribute to the e
 volution of the collective.\n\nAs the great granddaughter of L. Frank Baum
 \, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz\, I discovered an enactment of
  a dark and shameful shadow that resides in the collective of the American
  psyche. It triggered some deep soul searching\, and the offering of a for
 mal apology to offended communities in hopes of  healing and moving into 
 the new ways of relating. In this presentation\, I include my personal exp
 eriences of generational individuation\, along with the sandplay case of a
  courageous and determined woman who suffered severe childhood abuse and t
 rauma. In the course of her treatment this woman uncovered a family secret
  that freed her from generations of shame and suffering\, and made her awa
 re of the strength and resiliency her ancestors embodied to survive. Her c
 ase is a beautiful example of generational individuation\, and powerful ex
 ample of Jung’s statement that “an advance always begins with individu
 ation\, that is to say with the individual\, conscious of his isolation\, 
 cutting a new path through hitherto untrodden territory. If he succeeds in
  giving collective validity to his widened consciousness\, he creates a te
 nsion of opposites that provides the stimulation which culture needs for i
 ts further progress.” (Jung. 1963\, p. 59).\n\nMain points of the worksh
 op:\n\n 	Jung’s concept of impersonal karma\n 	Key points regarding pers
 onal transformation and generational individuation\n 	Transmissions of sha
 me and resiliency through family lineages\n 	Apology and reconciliation fo
 r healing and the evolution of the collective\n 	Breaking the chain of anc
 estral abuse and conditioning\n 	Images of trauma\, shame\, and transforma
 tion in sandplay case material\n\nLearning Objectives: Participants will 
 be able to\n\n 	Identify the characteristics of generational individuation
 .\n 	Describe how generational individuation affects the collective.\n 	Ex
 plain at least three ways shame and resiliency are transmitted through fam
 ily lineages.\n 	Apply at least two healing strategies of ancestral pain i
 nto their therapeutic work.\n 	Identify at least three ways shame and resi
 liency appear in imagery in sandplay therapy.\n\nPresenter Bio: Gita More
