Central to Jung’s approach is the concept of archetypes and archetypal energies. His work d raws special attention to the idea of the Feminine and Masculine archetype s and more specifically\, the anima and animus.\nAs Jung himself believed\ , the expression of an archetype is partially a reflection ofwhere a cultu re is at any moment. And as the human psyche ever grows\, so must we. Now \, sixty-five years later\, it is time for us to re-imagine archetypal exp ression in today’s moment.\nOur “re-search” begins with Jung’s und erstanding that an archetype is pure energy withno form.  None of us ever sees an archetype. What we see is a cultural expression or what we might call a cultural “costuming” of the energy.  These cultural expectatio ns of what has been considered masculine and feminine may have adverse and lasting effects on one’s mental health\, identity development\, and wel lbeing.\nThus\, the archetype of Feminine or Masculine\, regardless of bio logy\, is an energy field. And like all energy\, the field moves between t wo charged poles.  Within Feminine and Masculine\, we might term these po les as lunar and solar.  Understanding a lunar/solar dialectic within eac h ‘gender’ archetype will release us from a hidden dualism that sees “feminine” as only anima and “masculine” as only animus.\nWe will focus on two myths. First\, is the “feminine” Sumerian tale of Inanna and hersister\, Ereshkigal. Second is the ‘masculine” Diné Bahané\, the Navaho Creation storywith its twin brothers\, Monster Slayer and Born of Water.\nAlong with these\, there will be a case presentation of a teena ge male client struggling with his own sense of identity and self-control. We will observe how the archetypal energies emerge in his Sandplay proces s. Join us for this vital enlivening discussion ofhis Sandplay process and our own life journey.\n2026 Fall Workshop Brochure CATEGORIES:Webinar,Workshops END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
