Friday, October 21, 2016 8:30am – 4:15pm

Each one of us makes an unconscious deal with the devil. While most of us remain unconscious of this Faustian Bargain, often, life, circumstances, relationship problems, complexes, Medical, Psychiatric and Addiction problems force us to reckon with the Devil Goethe’s Faust captivated Jung’s psyche and was his inner guide both in his own individuation and evolution of his Analytical Psychology. It guided Jung from his personal myth of a Hero as young Faust to his emergent myth of the Wise Old Man – Philemon.
The myth of Faust will be explored from an analytical perspective as depicted in the Collected works, the Red Book and MDR as elaborated by Carl Jung in his writings to amplify the Analytical Management of our deal with the Devil and its optimal resolution.
