Jungian Child Psychology Series:
Nurturing the Cradle of a Child’s Future
While we love our children for so many reasons, one that is ineffable and often goes
unrecognized is the reality that they are carriers of humanity's future. Like the great
artists, their hearts and souls are porous, absorbing the emotions of daily life as well as
the archetypal zeitgeist of our times.
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
unconscious dynamics, and the language of the soul as it speaks through children’s
dreams, in play, in images and story. Here the deepest meaning of their life may be
understood if we learn to listen to the language of the Self.
We have invited two truly gifted and internationally recognized Jungian Child Analysts
from Italy to present their more than 30 years of working with children and hear of their
journey working with the language of a child’s heart and soul.
Please join us in welcoming Magda DiRenzo and Eva Pattis for these truly unique Seminars.
