Jungian and Archetypal Pattern AnalystLike the pieces on a chess board, we play the game of life according to patterns. A novice chess player can hold about 6 moves in advance, while a Chess Master can hold as many as 20. While not proscriptive, archetypal pattern analysis can be predictive. An archetypal pattern analysis can read and translate the unfolding pattern of a life, a business, a creative endeavour, or a relationship. Whether in the therapeutic milieu as a Jungian Analyst or registered psychotherapist, or in mentoring or consulting, a translation of the pattern embed in behaviour can help to realign energies and produce more generative results. |
master Dream Pattern Analyst There is much that passes for dream interpretation in the current Spirit of the Times. Jung and his contemporaries were more interested in the Spirit of the Depths. Dreams are to the individual what fairy tales are to the collective, or myths are to an epoch. Knowing what and who is dreaming us is key. At the heart of every dream is the systolic and dystolic beating of the archetype. Like plaque or cholesterol, the complexes or the subjective lens often impede the movement of objective truth and archetypal energy. The archetypes are nature and like nature, they are self regulatory, self organizing and ever striving to manifest fully in a life. Dreams show us the map, and archetypal dream pattern analysis invites us into the adventure of the unexplored territory. |
Jungian Analyst, writer, Teacher, MentorWords, nature, dreams, and story are sacred texts. They inscribe and articulate the pattern and the meaning of our lives. As a literature teacher and a Jungian analyst for close to 40 years, my professional experience is vast and varied. My personal passions include writer, iconographer, grandmother and steward of our 100acre woods. I am a former Training analyst and faculty member with the C. G. Jung Institute, Zurich, Director of Studies, Fairy Tale Certification Course Developer, faculty with The Assisi Institute, and Managing Editor of The Assisi Journal. Currently, I am dedicating my energies to my private praxis and writing. I trained extensively with tribal Elders and I am initiated in indigenous teachings and traditions; namely, Mohawk, Annisaabe, and Zimbabwe. |

The Wind, One Brilliant Day
by Antonio Machado The wind, one brilliant day, called to my soul with an odor of jasmine. "In return for the odour of my jasmine, I'd like all the odour of your roses." "I have no roses; all the flowers in my garden are dead." "Well then, I'll take the withered petals and the yellow leaves and the waters of the fountain." The wind left. And I wept. And I said to myself: "What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?" Translated by Robert Bly

“At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the splashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons. There is nothing in the Tower that has not grown into its own form over the decades, nothing with which I am not linked. Here everything has its history, and mine; here is space for the spaceless kingdom of the world's and the psyche's hinterland.”
― Carl G. Jung
