As the Institute celebrates its 70th Anniversary, we are delighted to present our first Alumni Week. Our program will take place during the last week of the Summer Semester block. It will include Symbol exploration groups, Seminars, Special tours and Social gatherings for all alumni, concluding with the Institute’s Jubilee Celebrations on 7th July 2018. Following the celebrations, you are invited to attend a special tour that will commence in the United Kingdom: A Glastonbury Romance: A Tour Devoted to the Mythologies of the English Landscapes and the Holy Grail. www.a-glastonbury-romance.com
One goal of the Alumni Association is to create a feeling of community (Forging Communitas) among alumni, students, and staff of the Institute. We have designed a Symbol Exploration process bringing alumni and Diploma Candidates together, as equal participants and students of the Unconscious. This is an opportunity for alumni to reconnect with each other and together explore archetypal images. We believe that it can also enrich the students’ experience and facilitate their transition into the Jungian Analysts community (more details about the Symbol Exploration below).

SYMBOL EXPLORATION
3 & 4 July 2018 at the CG Jung Institute
Symbol Exploration will be conducted in small groups (6 to 8 people), equally divided between Alumni and Diploma Candidates and facilitated by a group leader. Both Alumni and Diploma Candidates are invited to bring symbolic material: clients’ dreams, pictures or sandplay images. The group will work with images and symbols as they are presented, initially without any background about the analysand.
Some information about the analysand and the analytical process can be discussed at the end, as and when it is felt appropriate by the group and the facilitator.
Please bring 8 copies of the material that you would like to share. The copies will be returned to you at the end of the session. The material will be kept confidential, following the same rules as in case colloquia.
We hope that you will feel moved to share symbolic material from at least one of your analysands. We are keen to discuss images and symbols coming from many cultures and backgrounds.
GRAIL LECTURES
4 & 5 July 2018 at the CG Jung Institute
THE GRAIL ROMANCES OF THE MIDDLE AGES
Evans Lansing Smith, PhD
Chair, Mythological Studies Program, Pacifica Graduate Institute CA
These lectures focus on those archetypal figures from the Medieval Romances of Chrétien de Troyes, Wolfram von Eschenbach, and Gottfried von Strassburg that galvanized the interests of both C.G. and Emma Jung in the mythologies of the Grail. Since their writings on the subject, the Romances have remained central to Jungian discourse, as evidenced by the writings of Heinrich Zimmer, Marie-Louise von Franz, Edward Whitmont, and Robert Johnson (to name a few). Using abundant slide images, the presentations focus on the individuation process in the Romances—the movement from complex, to archetype, to images of the Grail and the divine feminine. For those attending the Glastonbury Romance Tour, these lectures will provide a foundational understanding of the Arthurian Romances imbedded in the landscape.
Wednesday 4 July
14.05-15:35 Chrétien de Troyes: Arthurian Romances
15:50-17:20 Wolfram von Eschenbach: Parzival
