Theme: Carl Jung’s Red Book
Guest: Lynette Walker, RCC
Art: Mandalas
Lynette Walker is a Jungian-focused psychoanalyst who was an RCC in private practice for 40 years. She will share her copy of Jung’s Red Book and will facilitate a discussion about Carl Gustav Jung, his life, work, and philosophy.
Carl Jung’s Red Book is a very large, leather-bound volume filled with archetypal painted images and written out by hand in calligraphy, describing Jung’s own explorations of his deep unconscious.
Lynette’s parents were both trained Jungian Psychoanalysts who were also in private practice for 40 years each. They studied and underwent psychoanalysis at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and with Jung and his colleagues in Zürich, Switzerland. They were founders of the San Diego Friends of Jung in San Diego, where they hosted lectures and study groups for decades.
In addition, Lynette, Laurie and Janet have been participating in a 12-week lecture series on the Carl Jung’s Red Book since the beginning of the year. Also, Janet just completed Module 2 of a Jungian/Kalffian Sandplay Therapy training (“Understanding the Mother Archetype and the Feminine”). Lynette worked with a Jungian/Kalffian approach to Sandplay for decades during her career. Elements of the Red Book lectures and/or Jungian Sandplay Therapy may be woven in to our discussion.
Since Jung was fascinated with mandalas, the expressive arts portion of this Munch and Mingle will be painting mandala stones. If you can find a smooth, round river rock, or several such rocks, bring them along. (Small like a quarter, up to the size of the palm of your hand. A smooth surface is preferable.) This is a meditative art activity that can be incorporated into client sessions with children, youth, or adults.
