Learning more about Jungian psychology

Centerpoint

discussion groups

Small groups called “coteries” meet on alternate Saturdays in Mission Hills and Carlsbad. As the springboard for our discussions we use structured, Jungian-based materials (lectures on CD) developed at the Centerpoint Foundation International in Casselberry, Florida. New participants are always welcome!

Katherine M. Sanford, M.A., M.F.C.

That same year she also received her M. A. degree from Antioch University and certification as a Marriage and Family Counselor.

Robert A. Johnson is one of the founders
of the San Diego Friends of Jung

Robert A. Johnson has been pursuing inner work since a near-death experience at the age of eleven. The tragic loss of a leg after being hit by an automobile provided his first glimpse of the Golden World, a realm that exists just beyond ordinary consciousness. Like Parsifal in the legendary myth of the Holy Grail, a spiritual quest in his early decades led Robert to improbable encounters with a variety of sages, saints and sinners, culminating in a meeting with the famed Swiss psychiatrist Jung. He attended the first classes offered at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, where he studied and worked with the pioneers of analytical psychology, including Carl Jung, Emma Jung, and Jolande Jacobi. He completed analytical training with Dr. Fritz Kunkel in Los Angeles and Dr. Toni Sussman in London. Robert also studied with J. Krishnamurti, with Soto Zen priest Maezumi Roshi, and at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India.

Robert received an honorary doctorate in humanities and lifetime achievement award from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2002. For

nineteen years Robert divided his time between Southern California and India. He now resides in San Diego, California, where he enjoys the company of many friends, cultivates water lilies in his living room, and occasionally plays his rare Clavichord D’amour, an instrument dating from the eighteenth century.

Johnson is the author of many books including:

Lying with the Heavenly Woman

The Fisher King and the Handless Maiden

Owning Your Own Shadow

Transformation

Ecstasy

Inner Work

She

Living Your Unlived Life (2009)

Contentment: A Way to True Happiness (1999)

Nightwings: A Soulful Dreaming and Writing Practice
Sally J. Nelson, Ph.D.

Nicolas-Hays (May 2004), 224 pages, paperback

Sally Nelson helps you put on your night wings with techniques for courting and giving form to your dreams. Once you’ve done this, Nelson teaches you how to recognize personal and transpersonal themes and characters and how to develop them in your writing through visionary meditation and numerous exercises. In doing so, you foster your own growth as well as tap the source of human experience from which you can develop material that will speak to others, which is the key to success in all writing. She illustrates this exciting process with clear writing examples that will inspire you to take flight with your creative writing.

Sally J. Nelson, Ph.D. has a doctorate in clinical psychology and master’s degree in humanistic and Jungian psychology. She is a licensed clinical psychologist and family therapist, and is certified in biofeedback and hypnotherapy. In graduate school, she worked with Dr. Stanley Krippner and studied the Ira Progoff

approach to journal writing. Dr. Nelson conducts corporate stress-management programs and gives seminars in Jungian dream work and personal creative writing as a therapeutic process.
