This day offers a wonderful opportunity to learn about the work, offerings and the spirit of the Assisi Institute.
Since our beginnings in Assisi, Italy in 1989, we have evolved into an internationally recognized Center for the Study of Archetypal Patterns. With students from more than 42 countries worldwide, our work builds on the brilliance of C.G Jung, M.L. von Franz, and the pioneers in the “New Sciences of Complexity.” This work advances our understanding of complexes, archetypes, and archetypal patterns as manifested in the Psyche, Fairy Tales, the Cinema and the Therapeutic Relationship.
In this program two of our 2026 APA graduates will present their final thesis project.
Ray Bell (USA) will present on: “Forging Connection to the Unconscious: Movement into the Healthy Masculine”
Irina Yashagina (Russia) will present on: “Grandmothers as the Wisdom of Loving Complicity for Procreation”
Through these presentations we will recognize the importance of identifying and understanding the images and movement within archetypal fields.
Joining the founder of the Institute, Dr. Michael Conforti will be Jennifer Fadel, Curator of Programming, and Anastasia Konovalchuk, Director of Russian-Speaking Programs., and LuAnn Conforti-Brown, Director of International Studies.
They will discuss future Institute programs including The Archetypal Pattern Analyst Training Program (APA), Beginning, Advanced and Master Dream Patterning, the Fairy Tale Seminars, the Voice of Psyche -Wednesday Clinicals and the Clinical Certificate Courses which focus on training for clinicians.
We sincerely hope that you will be joining us for this special event.
