"Alchemy Matters" is a free telecourse kick off event for the upcoming in-depth course on Alchemy by Robert Bosnak and Patricia Berry, developed by Cyberdreamwork.com and Jung Platform and with a discussion forum hosted on Depth Psychology Alliance

The Art of Alchemy was not just a precursor of science. Alchemy held that all matter has an inner life. Alchemists studied their material not as object, but as subjects with whom to communicate.

This is similar to our experience with dreaming. In dreams we find ourselves in an experientially real world created by imagination where everything exists in a state of constant animation.

Since alchemy studies the animation of matter Jung found it a royal entry into the study of the deep embodied imagination. We know that he continued his journey through the Deep, begun in the Red Book, in his study of alchemy culminating in his magnum opus Mysterium Coniunctionis.

In this talk Jungian psychoanalyst Robert Bosnak, himself a 40 year plus student of alchemy and dreaming, will explore the inner microcosm of things by way of the alchemical writings of C.G. Jung and James Hillman.

He will demonstrate the profound impact alchemy could have on psychotherapists, practitioners of the arts, and upon anyone interested in creative imagination. The study of alchemy quickens the senses and makes us more alive as we derive poignant inspiration from our ancestors.

This lecture is an introduction to alchemy matters that will be followed by a detailed online course at www.JungPlatform.com and is co-developed by Cyberdreamwork.com, with a discussion forum hosted on DepthPsychologyAlliance.com.

In the study of embodied alchemical psychology as exemplified by James Hillman, Robert Bosnak's teacher and training analyst and Patricia Berry, co-founder of Archetypal Psychology with James Hillman. This in-depth course starts on January 9th, 2014. More information will follow soon!
