The Part of Fortune in Your Individuation Process
Peggy Schick

Sundays, December 8 & 15, 2019
2 to 4 pm
Maine Jung Center, 183 Park Row, Brunswick
Members $40, Non-Members $50

Human psychological behavior and the cosmos share archetypal patterns. It is a phenomenal mystery why this is so, but by understanding these patterns we gain an amazingly helpful set of psychological tools for understanding our own individuation process.

In this astrology workshop, we’ll look specifically at the Part of Fortune, a mathematically derived point of harmony involving the Ascendant, Sun, and Moon. Its placement in the natal chart describes the place of truest expression of the soul. After a review of the archetypal qualities of the astrological signs and houses, and with guidance by the instructor, participants will take turns interpreting their own Part of Fortune placement.

In advance of class, registrants are asked to provide their place of birth, DOB, and their exact time of birth. Registrants will receive a copy of their natal chart in class.

*Some foundational knowledge of astrology is a prerequisite to this class.

Peggy Schick is a professional intuitive astrologer and Reiki practitioner in Topsham. She teaches astrology classes through several adult learning organizations in Maine. Peggy is certified in Archetypal Cosmology through the Institute of Transpersonal and Archetypal Studies, New York. She also holds a BS in biology from SUNY Geneseo and an MBA from Simmons University, Boston. Peggy enjoys sharing astrology’s insights with others who are on a quest for deeper self-knowledge, self-love, and connection with higher consciousness. She is Co-Chair of the Board of the Maine Jung Center.

Tomorrow (2015) | Directed by Cyril Dion & Mélanie Laurent
Viewing facilitated by Rocco LaPenta

Faced with a future that scientists say is a great cause for concern, Tomorrow does not give in to catastrophism. Optimistically, it identifies initiatives that have proven themselves in ten countries around the world: concrete examples of solutions to environmental and social challenges of the twenty-first century, be it agriculture, energy, economy, education and governance. The movie is cited by many French people as the trigger for a new kind of engagement in the course of the following years. The co-director Cyril Dion has since been using the movie’s success to support the mouvement Colibris (Hummingbird movement), a group looking forward to change modern lifestyle.

Required Text: Projection and Re-Collection in Jungian Psychology by Marie-Louise von Franz

This work is a classic of Jungian literature that at its most basic level provides a map and guide to the recognition and reclaiming of projections. More broadly, this book explores the Jungian foundation to consciousness and the collective unconscious.

The format of the discussion group will be to read one or more Chapters each month prior to the discussion group as shown in the syllabus (see website for more information). Key passages will be read again during the session so that it will be possible to not keep up with the reading, but still participate in a meaningful way in the discussion.

Required Text: Sacred Instructions: Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change by Sherri Mitchell

The Maine Jung Center is pleased to offer a new book group beginning Wednesday, October 16, that will meet to read and discuss Sherri Mitchell’s 2018 book Sacred Instructions: Indigenous Wisdom for Living Spirit-Based Change. The Center is also excited to announce that Ms. Mitchell will be speaking to our community on April 3-4 in Portland. 

This book discussion experience will serve as an immersion into Mitchell’s profound and loving insight around affecting true global consciousness and change. Sacred Instructions is described as a narrative of Indigenous wisdom that provides a road map for the spirit and a compass of compassion for humanity.

Sherri Mitchell is a Native American attorney, author, teacher and activist from Maine. She has been actively involved with Indigenous land and water rights and the Indigenous way of life in the US, Canada and abroad for more than 25 years. Drawing from ancestral knowledge, as well as her experience as an attorney and activist, in Sacred Instructions Mitchell addresses some of the most crucial issues of our day, such as environmental protection and human rights. Sharing the gifts she has received from elders around the world, Mitchell urges us to decolonize our language and our stories. For those seeking change, this book offers a set of cultural values that will preserve our collective survival for future generations.

This book group will be gently led by Peggy Schick, astrologer, Reiki practitioner, activist, and co-chair of the board of the Maine Jung Center.

Required Text: What Matters Most by James Hollis

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.
– C. G. Jung

Please join us for Jungian focused discussions about books, mythology, and fairy tales. Together we can explore the stories that, throughout time, give us important clues on how to live our lives more fully.

We will begin by reading What Matters Most by James Hollis. Taking a fresh look at the concept of happiness, Hollis uses a warm, accessible tone to encourage readers to learn to tolerate ambiguity, embrace growth rather than security, respect the power of Eros, engage spiritual crises, and acknowledge the shadow of mortality.

James Hollis, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst in private practice and executive director of the Jung Society of Washington. Educated at Manchester College, Drew University, and the Jung Institute in Zurich, he was a humanities professor for more than twenty years and is the author of fifteen books, including the best selling The Middle Passage: From Misery to Meaning at Midlife and The Eden Project: In Search of the Magical Other. Based in Washington, D.C., he lectures frequently throughout the country and worldwide, and has spoken at the Maine Jung Center numerous times.

Jennifer Morris’s Jungian experience started with seven years of personal work with a remarkable Colorado analyst, Katherine Kuisle, PhD. This experience profoundly changed Jennifer’s life, opening her heart to the guiding symbology around us and within us. She grew up in Yarmouth and lived in Maine for 40 years before moving to Colorado where she lived—when not working as a physician assistant in Alaska or adventuring on a sailboat in the Bahamas—for 23 years. Now retired, she and the cat are quite settled in South Portland, surrounded by her gardens.
