North / South Conference 2015


North-South Conference
The DoubleTree Hotel, Berkeley Marina, Berkeley, California 
Thursday, February 26 – Sunday March 1, 2015
This Conference is open to members, candidates, and spouses/ partners at the C. G. Jung Institutes of Los Angeles and San Francisco. 
 
CONIUNCTIO
 
 
Jung remarks that “the opposites are the ineradicable and indispensable preconditions of all psychic life” (CW 14, para. 206) and he uses the alchemical image of the coniunctio as a quintessential symbol for the union of disparate substances. He says, “the real meaning of the coniunctio is that it brings to birth something that is real and united” (CW 16, para. 458), but it “is never an initial state; It is always the product of a process or the goal of endeavor” (CW 16, para. 462). Finally, he emphasizes, “what the union of opposites really ‘means’ transcends human imagination” (CW 14, para. 201).
 
Stories, images, and language from our consulting rooms, our personal lives, our professional gatherings, and in the larger realm of cultural or global human experience summon us to venture further into the unknown and imagine the coming together of seemingly disparate elements? During the conference, as a learning community, we will individually and collectively reflect on the alchemical image of the coniunctio from a 21st century perspective that might expand upon Jung’s contemplation of alchemy as a metaphor for the psychology of the transference, the dynamics of the transcendent function, and ultimately, the transformation of psyche.
