Jungian Child Psychology Series:
Nurturing the Cradle of a Child’s Future

We love our children for so many reasons, yet one that is ineffable and often goes unrecognized is the reality that they are carriers of humanity's future. Like the great artists, their psyches are porous, absorbing the emotions of daily life, of their parents, and especially the archetypal zeitgeist of our times. And as children they have yet to develop the resources to understand these dynamics and the unique, symbolic language of the Psyche shaping their life. 
  However, the journey of their heart and soul often remains elusive even to the most wonderfully attentive of parents. Here it takes the eye of one trained to understand a child’s unconscious dynamics, and the language of the soul as it speaks through their dreams, in their play, in images and story. Perhaps the most important aspect of this work is in knowing what it takes for a child to allow you into that most private and protected part of their heart and soul. At such moments “c'è una profonda accoglienza, e la gioia di essere finalmente visti davvero” of a great welcoming, and a joy in finally being truly seen, healing begins.

 

   We have invited two truly gifted and internationally recognized Jungian Child Analysts from Italy to present their more than 40 years of working with children and hear of their experiences of journey into the language of a child’s heart and soul. 

  Please join us in welcoming Magda DiRenzo and Eva Pattis for these truly unique Seminars.
