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, Ph.D. 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.

We will explore fairy tales from around the world to see what we can learn about how these timeless tales illuminate psychic processes. Hearing and reading the stories can be entertaining and soothing. Interpreting them can unearth kernels of truth. Participants are encouraged to bring their love of stories.

Death Café II
Sunday, June 23, 2019; 2 to 4:30 pm
FREE for Members and Non-Members
(Donations Welcome)

Maximum Participants: 14

In this meeting lasting for two and a half hours, we will gather to eat cake, drink tea, and discuss death. The objective is ‘to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives’. This is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. Death Cafés have been held across the U.S. and much of Europe.

These Cafés are offered on a not-for-profit basis (participants may be invited to make a minimal donation), held in an accessible, respectful, and confidential space, and are open-ended having no intention to lead people to any conclusion, product, or course of action. Refreshments, including cake, will be provided.

Teresa Arendell, Ph.D., is a Jungian analyst practicing in Maine. She has taught and offered lectures and seminars and served on committees at the Maine Jung Center, the Boston Jung Institute, and various other Jungian associations.

Will Furber, J.D., is a Jungian analyst from North Bath, Maine. He helped found the Maine Jung Center 30 years ago and is a former Board Chair. He is a faculty member of the Boston Jung Institute, where he co-leads a recurring seminar which has as one of its principal aims the enrichment and development of collective life.
