By Centering in Self, in relationship, in Community belonging, and in the Weave of Nature, we will create a moment of calm and safety with Imagination and meditation. We will make time to share in this ‘after’ space together.

Beginning Jungian studies as a child as her father underwent Jungian treatment at home for Complex PTSD and WWII trauma as a US Navy Diver at Pearl Harbor in WWII, Penelope continues to explore the Mystery of Self, Ego-Self Axis, Nature, and creativity. Mother of two adult sons, who are both scientists, one in medicine and one in technology. An artist, a poet, publisher and writer, and Jungian analyst since the late 1970s, she continues to learn – currently as part of the www.AWE.ngo international program that explores and supports Indigenous wisdom practices. She is drawn to the exploration of the mysteries and initiations, especially of childbirth and death. Committed to honor the sacred, Penelope keeps head bowed, heart open, and hence is constantly close to tears, laughter, and awe as we walk and dance this continual surprisingly creative life together.

The fairy tales of the world are some of the clearest expressions of the collective unconscious that we have, and as such their dream-like images preserve valuable insights into both soul and world. Join performance storyteller Jay Leeming for an exploration of the Grimm’s fairy tale “The Water of Life,” a story which can help us to find new ways forward when we feel locked in a world of stone. Leeming will perform the story in the traditional way, narrating its events in spontaneous, improvised language to the accompaniment of guitar and drum, and there will be ample time for group exploration of the story throughout. Participants are asked to bring a notebook and their dreaming hearts; this workshop will invite us not simply to passively witness this story but to step into it, fostering connections between our own lives and its life-giving images.

Jay Leeming is a performance storyteller adept at bringing ancient myths and stories alive through the power of the spoken word. A regular performer in theaters, schools, conferences, and festivals, he is the creator of the Crane Bag podcast, the author of three books of poetry and the recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. More information about his work as well as recordings of his performances of the Epic of Gilgamesh, “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” numerous Norse myths and the Odyssey, can all be found at www.JayLeeming.com. He lives in Ithaca, New York.

The speaker will delve into the elephant spirit through her lived experiences, myths and dreams. Ganesha and Gajalakshmi (god and goddess of elephants) will guide us to our own depths and perhaps reconnect us to the world around us- anima mundi.

Befriending the Other
“Who really is the other? Is it them, or a hidden part of our own Self?
Like the faces in dreams, mere reflections of who we are,
different, yet the same.
When we approach the other with the eyes of a child,
curious and playful, full of wonder,
we open our minds, we soften our hearts.
Defences fall away, and we glimpse the similarities beneath the surface.
As curiosity blossoms, so does our connection.
We may begin to care, to feel passion,
until one day, it transforms into love.
And when we love, we wish to protect, to preserve.
Perhaps this is the message the elephants offer —
a call to safeguard what we cherish.
And my invitation.”
~ Excerpt from Elephant Wings to Freedom, Chaitanya Sridhar (2025, 56)

An exploration of the relationship between archetypal astrology and
Jungian psychology, applied to individual and collective experience.

C. G. Jung was preoccupied with astrology throughout much of his life. It represents, he believed, a “colloquy of the gods” and is an example of “synchronicity on a grand scale,” revealing a meaningful coherence between the inner and outer worlds. This talk considers first the significance of Jung’s psychology for the development of archetypal astrology, focusing on key ideas such as the nature of archetypes, synchronicity, and the notion of a unitary “transcendental” background to reality. We will then explore how we can use archetypal astrology as an aid to self-knowledge and a way to track the manifestation of archetypes, at a personal level, as a guide to individuation. We will also consider how astrology can be applied at a collective level to reveal the underlying archetypal patterns and themes in history, as we reflect on the archetypal dynamics of our own historical moment in the context of the current planetary alignment between Saturn and Neptune.

Keiron Le Grice, Ph.D. is a professor and co-chair in the Jungian and Archetypal Studies doctoral program at Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, where he teaches courses on astrology, alchemy, synchronicity, and archetypes. He also serves as an honorary lecturer at the University of Essex, and he was the 2023 Zürich Lecture Series speaker at the International School of Analytical Psychology. Keiron is the author of several books, including the three-volume “The Way of the Archetypes”, “The Rebirth of the Hero”, and “The Lion Will Become Man”. He is also the co-editor of “Jung on Astrology”, a founding editor of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology (www.archai.org), and founder of ITAS Publications (www.itas-psychology.org). In addition to Jungian psychology and archetypal astrology, his research interests include the Gospel of Thomas and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.

Our workshop will explore and share how to live mythically, applying mythology to our own unfolding life dramas and using it to guide others seeking healing, wisdom, self-knowledge, purpose.

Depth psychology and world traditions have long recognized that mythology in general, and ancient Greece in particular, provided great wisdom and guidance for healing, living well, and connecting to the numinous. But much of this tradition has been lost or remained academic. We can bring it back to life in ourselves and our work. Our workshop will explore how we use ancient mythology and philosophy in embodied ways to guide our lives, heal our wounds, fulfill our destinies, connect with living spirit, and evolve a philosophy in harmony with the cosmos. We will apply mythology to our own unfolding life dramas and share how we use it to guide others seeking healing, wisdom, self-knowledge, purpose. Together we will explore and share how to live mythically.

For forty years Dr. Ed Tick has guided pilgrimages and retreats in the US and overseas using ancient traditions and practices to seek healing and enlightenment. Using poetry, myths, dreams, miraculous stories from these journeys, and experiential exercises, we will share inspirational wisdom and practices that bring transformation, healing, life purpose, and renewal through immersion in the archetypal world. Edward Tick, Ph.D., is a therapeutic mentor, pilgrimage guide, educator, and poet. Since 1995 he has led twenty-five healing journeys to Greece and nineteen to Viet Nam where he guides transformational growth by restoring our connections with the numinous. He is recognized as an international “thought leader” in cultural and war trauma healing, psycho-spiritual development, and the Greek tradition. He restores ancient spiritual and holistic practices for modern seekers. He is the author of nine books in the Greek tradition- “The Practice of Dream Healing”,
