C.G.Jung Society of Sydney, President's Letter

Dear Friends and Members

This month our guest speaker is Peter Dicker who will be known to
many of you for his regular contributions to our Society through his
talks and writings, most recently as a part of our Hillmania
programme. On Saturday June 9 his topic will be Local Place, Local
Soul; Towards a Therapy of Culture in Australia. This is a talk I
have been looking forward to all year as it addresses matters of such
significance and depth for all of us in Australia who are concerned
with matters of psyche and its relationship to environment and
culture. Please do come along to be a part of this discussion.

Last month Sarah Gibson was our guest speaker giving an illustrated
talk The Forbidden Room: From Fairy Tale to Crime Fiction. Using the
wonderfully evocative visual metaphor of opening doors into different
rooms she took us on a tour of the stories of Bluebeard and Fitcher’s
Bird with many wondrous, gruesome, beautiful and provocative images
along the way. Sarah’s explorations revealed psychological and
cultural insights and meanings into a wide range of topics ranging
from marriage through to evil, and her discussion of death and the
rising popularity of crime fiction were particularly responded to by
the audience through questions and ongoing conversations after the
talk. The talk was extremely well-received and my thanks go to Sarah
on behalf of everyone there for such a rich presentation.

A reminder to you that Robert Bosnak will launch his latest book
Embodiment: Creative Imagination in Medicine, Art and Travel at
Gleebooks on June 7th at 6.30pm. You are all invited! Please book in
advance by emailing books@... or turn up early by 6pm.
The Jung Society will be hosting a one day introductory workshop run
by Robert on September 1, on Embodied Imagination and Dreamwork. Full
details for this will be in our upcoming Newsletter.

Attached to this email are flyers for two seminars which may be of
interest to you. The first is to be given by Jungian analyst John
Merchant as part of the University of Sydney’s Continuing Education
program, and the second is by Dr Simmone Jameson, who will talk on My
Life and Experience with Dr Carl Jung and Salvador Dali.
