What else?

Besides my analytic work, there are three others areas in which I may be helpful to you.

Teaching: workshops & classes.

One of my strong interests is making the thought of Jung more widely available.  The primary way I do this is through teaching.  In recent years, I've taught workshops on topics that include  

• Jung & the Spiritual Journey
• Dreams
• The Traumatized System
• Fairy Tales
•  Answer to Job
• The Red Book
• Sexuality and Spirituality
• The Life and Work of C.G. Jung
• The Spirituality of Betrayal
• Congregational Renewal 

In addition to teaching in the public education program at the Jung Institute and the Jung Center, I serve as co-director of the Institute's Clinical Training Program and occasionally teach in its Analyst Training Program.

I am happy to present Jung-related topics to other groups, including congregations.

Spiritual direction & retreats  

Spiritual direction.  Early in my career, a few colleagues began to ask me to be their spiritual director.  I hesitated.  I had never done formal training as a spiritual director.  Besides, I had been in spiritual direction as well as analysis, and had found analytic work went much deeper.  

My colleagues persisted and eventually I found myself beginning a practice of spiritual direction.  Over the past decade and a half, I've worked with many clergy from multiple denominations as well as numerous lay people.  I've particularly enjoyed working with women and men discerning a call to ministry.

I always say, however, that I am an atypical spiritual director with an approach grounded in an idiosyncratic blend of various Christian spiritualities (Ignatius and Benedict especially), psychoanalysis, and an eclectic mix of spiritual practices borrowed from other sources. 

Retreats.  I have had a deepening desire to begin offering retreats -- something I keep delaying because of the press of other commitments.  I feel especially drawn to create an annual retreat that would focus on different aspects or themes of the scriptures using a Jungian lens.  I also am open to directing parish, small group, or individual retreats.  If any of these interest you, please contact me.  It might be exactly the nudge I need.

Clinical supervision

If you are a clinician interested in integrating Jung's ideas into your practice, one of the best ways to do this is through analytic supervision of your work.  I've been a co-director of the Institute's Clinical Training Program and can help you learn to think about Jungian perspectives on  transference and counter-transference, working with dreams, exploring other techniques for activating the unconscious, and approaching a client's material prospectively as well as retrospectively.
