Goddess Inanna
–Susan Seddon Boulet
Jung writes that the unconscious “is unwilling to let anything escape from its magic circle save at the cost of a sacrifice.” In a transactional process we give something to get something, but nothing is inwardly changed. For an inner transformation to occur, however, something the ego values must be willingly sacrificed. In this seminar, we will consider Jung's idea that “every step forward along the path of individuation is achieved only at the cost of suffering.” We will explore the archetype of sacrifice as it relates to the individuation process, and consider why a sacrifice of the ego's position or its precious things may be the cost of a closer relationship with the Self.

Jung for Our Time
According to Anthony Stevens, the book “The Undiscovered Self” is “One of Jung’s most profound, yet accessible texts.” Andrew Samuels states that in it, Jung “sets out in the clearest possible terms” what an individual living in today’s society needs to do in order “to stand up to” the dehumanizing trends “on this ravaged planet”. Tonight’s readings are drawn from that text.
Roman Rogulski sat on the planning committee of the Montréal Jung Society for many years, has animated numerous reading seminars, and designed and animated courses on Jung’s Red Book, Dreams and Fairy Tales for the Thomas More Institute in Montréal.
November 9
Dream Analysis
Jung wrote: "Dream analysis (...) is the most important technical means of opening up an avenue to the unconscious." In this seminar we will discuss the first chapter of the seminar given by Jung in 1928-30.
Artemis Papert, Ph.D., is passionate about dream analysis and about the psychological meaning of fairy tales.
Artemis had her first career as a research biologist. She now practices the healing art of shiatsu. She has an extensive experience in Jungian dream interpretation and never ceases to be amazed by what dreams can teach us about ourselves.
November 23
Personality: Many are called, but few are chosen?
Jung considered personality to be both a charisma and a curse, a hard-won attribute of a mature ego that had been shaped by inner and outer fatalities and was able to tolerate the isolation that would inevitably come from this uniqueness.
Susan Meindl is a licensed psychologist and Psychoanalyst in private practice in Montreal. She works with highly sensitive and gifted adults and understands from personal experience the challenges of the second half of life.
November 30
Eastern and Western Thinking
In an essay written in 1939, Jung considers the many differences between Eastern and Western Thinking. Is it a matter of introversion (East) vs extroversion (West)? Self-Liberation vs Grace? Although some of his positions are arguable–“Western man is Christian”–Jung also maintains that psychic reality–a Universal Mind–is all-important in Eastern thinking.

While Jung’s psychology has never been or is ever likely to be considered "mainstream", the ever growing number of books, courses, workshops and seminars being produced and offered to the general public testifies to the ever increasing demand for it. Why is Jung’s psychology still relevant and possibly invaluable for the modern era?
This interactive presentation will review some of the more striking and notable aspects of Jung’s psychology; participants will have the opportunity to enter the discussion and explore in depth what matters most about it.
Roman Rogulski earned an honours B.A. in French Studies from York University and in 2015 retired from a career as a Life and Disability Insurance underwriter. He lived and worked in Toronto, Montréal, Longueuil and Munich, Germany before moving to Ottawa.
