Jung and the Mandala: Workshop at Cirque Lodge
September 30th
Date: September 30th

Location: 777 N Palisade Drive    
Orem, Utah 84097
Cost: Free (including 3 CEUs) 

"The Mandala is a symbol of wholeness that tries to embrace the whole"; so said Carl Jung in an interview in 1957. Among the other things he said at the time were that the Mandala is the main archetype, an alchemical union of the circle and the square and often is an expression of either the Deity or the Self which he believed to be psychologically related. He also said that Mandala imagery often arises in dreams or other forms in times of psychic chaos or tension, offering compensation in the possibility of an inner order, a periphery and a center, bringing a sense of centering and healing to the whole. In this workshop we wish to explore and celebrate Jung's deep wisdom about the healing power of Mandalas: Hindu term for a sacred circle.

Jung developed the use of Mandala creation originally for his own personal soul work. He later expanded its use as a therapeutic technique to draw out images or "cryptograms" that he believed revealed the state of the Self in a given moment or day. Mandala creation can be a useful inner work tool for centering oneself or a client and can provide a glimpse into the Soul, inner-being of an individual.

We will discuss the origins of Jung's use of Mandalas for inner work or in therapy with clients. In the context of the workshop you will have an opportunity to create your own Mandala, and if you desire, share about the image and experience with others. There will be time to ask questions about using Mandala drawing in your own inner work as well, and if you are a clinician, how you might incorporate their use into your work with clients.

Michael Meade: Touching the Soul of the World
September 26th
A unique online webinar on September 26th



Description: We live in a radical time, amidst severe climate changes, the expansion of human tragedy and the growth of collective fear and anxiety. Yet, the great crises of the world do not take place outside the human soul. Rather, history is made in the struggle of the individual soul to survive and make sense of the world no matter how dark things may become.

When everything seems about to fall apart, something deep in the soul of humanity responds. This inner inheritance includes both deep instincts for survival and surprising capacities for renewal. In mythic terms, each soul is connected to the Soul of the World and each person is pregnant with meaning and an innate genius waiting to express itself.

In the struggle for meaning and truth it becomes necessary to call upon the array of genius, talents, and abilities hidden in people of all ages. Only then can we help balance nature and heal culture.

Michael Meade, D.H.L., is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He combines hypnotic storytelling, street-savvy perceptiveness, and spellbinding interpretations of ancient myths with a deep knowledge of cross-cultural rituals. He has an unusual ability to distill and synthesize these disciplines, tapping into ancestral sources of wisdom and connecting them to the stories we are living today

He is the author of The Genius Myth, Fate and Destiny: The Two Agreements of The Soul, Why the World Doesn't End, The Water of Life: Initiation and the Tempering of the Soul; editor, with James Hillman and Robert Bly, of Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart; and editor of Crossroads: A Quest for Contemporary Rites of Passage. Meade is the founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, a nonprofit network of artist, activists, and community builders that encourages greater understanding between diverse peoples.

Date: September 26, 2017
Time: 19:30pm Cape Town Time / 1:30pm EST / 10:30am PST
Length: 90 minutes. 60 minutes talk and 30 min Q&A with SAAJA in Cape Town

Gift and Purpose with Malidoma Somé
Mandalas and Healing
Michael Meade: Touching the Soul of the World
A five class web seminar in discovery and implementation

Have you ever felt like you're here in this world to do something specific, good and big, but can't seem like you know what it is? Do you know that you have a gift and wonder how best to bring it into the world? Do you feel like a person of service who does not know what to serve? Are you trying to share the gifts you know you embody while feeling like all kinds of obstacles are blocking you from doing just that?  Are you aware of your gift and purpose already; yet feeling inspired to deepen your relationship and experience with it? If any of the above rings a bell, you are invited to this online course.

In indigenous Dagara culture each person comes into this world with, and as a gift. The purpose of life is to deliver the gift using a style that is personal to maximize elegance, ease and beauty. This means that gift makes life purposeful.

This course that comes with a study guide is intended to empower you as you bring forth your gift out into the world, to help you recognize and acknowledge it, and to embrace it in the style that is consistent with who you are. In our core, we all want to contribute that which defines us as people of service.

The introductory course will situate gift and purpose within cosmology and mythology with a mind to capture its concise definition to help everyone including those who already have an idea of their gift, but are not sure; as well as those who have no clue at all.

Class Dates: 
Thursday, September 14th
Tuesday, October 3rd
Wednesday, October 18th
Wednesday, October 25th
Wednesday, November 8th

Times: 8:00 - 9:00pm EST (5:00 - 6:00pm PST)

Cost: $125 (including audio and video access of the live event + Study Guide).

Mandalas have gained a great deal of visibility and attention in modern western culture recently, and with good reason. Although the word "mandala" itself is of Sanskrit origin and the best known examples of Mandalas come from Asian traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism, the symbolic use of the circle and the square is a universal human archetype.

Burton Fullmer experienced the symbolic power of mandalas during his own healing journey before becoming a clinical counselor, and on September 30th 2017 he will present a free workshop on mandalas at the Cirque Lodge in Orem. After his own encounter with mandalas and what they symbolize, Burton found Jung's reports of the mandala work that he and his patients experienced.

A mandala can come to the mind in different ways. One approach is to consciously draw one, a practice that Dr. Jung employed for some time in his personal life. But he also noted that mandala imagery arises spontaneously in the psyche, often in dreams and particularly during times of trouble. Bringing together a circle and a square in a spontaneous image is an expression of stability in a center, and of that reconciliation of opposites which is needed for wholeness.
