This 3-week workshop series is geared for the person with some basic Tarot knowledge who is wondering, “Now what do I do?” With a few basic pointers and a concise query, even a few cards can yield significant insight. We will look at how to formulate an effective question, examine options for dealing with a daily draw, demonstrate methods for examining issues regarding relationships, choices, and timing, as well as life’s bigger
questions. We will address important “dos and don’ts” as we use live readings from volunteer class members to help define how cards work together to tell their story.

This online beginner class introduces the zodiac signs and houses, focusing on their axes. The tension of the
opposites is relevant here, as two astrological points on an axis share archetypal qualities but come from different
perspectives. Virgo and Pisces both seek perfection, for example, but one on the physical plane and the other on a
spiritual level. Integration of these seemingly opposite parts of our psyche is essential to our individuation. The class
will be part lecture, part personalized interpretation, with a focus on the soul’s evolutionary path as indicated by the
Moon’s south and north nodes.

At least one week prior to class, registrants must email Peggy with their date of birth, exact time of birth, and city/state
of birth. Send to [email protected]. Peggy will provide registrants with a copy of their natal chart along with
other materials that will be referenced during the workshop.

Peggy Schick is an astrologer, regressionist, and Reiki master based in Brunswick, ME, where she maintains a private
practice, Soulful Wellness. Her work centers on soul evolution, offering clients a deep exploration of their natal chart
themes alongside regression therapy to illuminate unconscious influences—including unresolved past- or current-life
concerns, ancestral trauma, and collective wounding. Her approach is grounded in studies of depth psychology and
spirituality. Peggy is a PhD candidate with Pacifica Graduate Institute, through which she is researching the role of
astrological Chiron in the healing of ancestral wounding. Visit www.peggyschick.com for more information on her work.

Individuation is the slow, steady unveiling of the authentic Self—the inner movement that draws us toward coherence, clarity, and a life aligned with our deepest purpose. Rooted in Jungian psychology, the individuation journey involves integrating both the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche, allowing us to live in greater harmony with ourselves, our communities, and the natural world.

This workshop explores how flower essence remedies can support this profound unfolding. Sometimes referred to as Bach flower remedies or simply flower essences, these gentle, non-pharmacological medicines work not on the physical body, but on the subtle layers of the soul and psyche. They illuminate emotional patterns, soften the resonance of old wounds, and strengthen the inner qualities needed for each stage of individuation—from recognizing shadow material to stepping into authentic self-expression.

Together, we will explore:
How flower essences interact with emotional, archetypal, and soul-level patterns
Key remedies that support major thresholds along the individuation path
How to integrate flower essences into your personal or professional practice
How flower essence work helps reconnect us to community, nature, and the larger field of Spirit

Flower essence practitioner Patricia Kaminski writes, “When flower essence therapy is carried to its full development, the Spiritual Self becomes the central organizing principle in the life of the soul”. Whether you are new to flower essences or seeking to deepen personal transformation work for yourself or patients, this experience will guide you in working with flower essence remedies as companions in our healing work.

Lindsay Fauntleroy is an acupuncturist and depth practitioner whose work integrates Western, Eastern, and African Diasporic approaches to psychological healing.

About the event

At the archetypal level, Anima and Animus contain fundamental gender related insight serving as important internal guides to wholeness and individuation. As complexes within Ego consciousness, they contain only a part of this potential because they are limited by the collective and individual understanding and experience of gender prevailing at the time. Much has changed in the understanding of gender within collective and individual consciousness since the mid Twentieth Century, so these concepts are now quite outdated. Attending to archetypal resonance as images of anima and animus emerge in dreams and other manifestations of the Self in relation to this developing understanding will assist these Ego complexes to evolve and more fully reflect their archetypal core.

The story of King Arthur and his knights is often dismissed as a charming children’s tale filled with quests, chivalry, and enchanted objects. Yet beneath this familiar surface lies a much older and more mysterious tradition: a body of myth in which the search for the Holy Grail becomes a profound journey of transformation, healing, and inner awakening. Far from being a simple adventure story, the Grail quest invites us into a symbolic landscape where the boundaries between the visible world and the Otherworld grow thin, and where wisdom is transmitted not only through heroic deeds, but through dreams, intuition, and encounters with the numinous.

In this workshop, we will turn our attention to the often-overlooked women of Arthurian legend—figures such as Morgan le Fay, Nimue, and other enchantresses, healers, and guardians of the land—whose guidance, counsel, and magical insight shaped the destinies of Arthur and his knights. These women carried knowledge of both the natural world and the spiritual realm, and they often acted as catalysts for transformation, urging the knights beyond mere bravery toward self-knowledge, humility, and wholeness.

Through storytelling, discussion, and reflection, we will explore how the women of the Arthurian cycle embody archetypal energies that remain deeply relevant today. Their stories offer us perspectives on intuition, sovereignty, ecological belonging, and the interplay between power and compassion. We will consider what it means to listen to myth as a living teacher and how these ancient narratives can still guide us in navigating personal and collective challenges. Ultimately, this workshop invites us to rediscover the enduring power of story—its ability to connect us to the land, to our ancestors, and to the deeper currents of meaning that run beneath ordinary life.

At this film night, we’ll watch two pieces that provide a framework for understanding the serious challenges that AI presents. First, a TED talk by Tristan Harris entitled The Narrow Path: Why AI is Our Ultimate Test and Greatest Innovation. The second will be from the podcast Your Undivided Attention hosted by Tristan and Aza Rascin with guest Dr. Sonya Amadae entitled What Would it Take to Actually Trust Each Other? The Game Theory Dilemma.

In the TED Talk, Tristan, who was featured in the documentary The Social Dilemma and co-founded The Center for Humane Technology, calls on us to learn from the mistakes of social media’s catastrophic rollout and confront the predictable dangers of reckless AI development, offering a “narrow path” where power is matched with responsibility, foresight and wisdom. (Recorded at TED2025 on April 9, 2025)

In the podcast episode from January 8, 2026, Tristan and Aza explore the game theory dilemma — the idea that if I adopt game theory logic and you don’t, you lose — with Dr. Sonja Amadae, professor of Political Science at the University of Helsinki. She& #39;s also the director at the Center for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge and the author of “Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and the Neoliberal Economy.”

As artifacts of the Collective Unconscious, these symbols represent elements of a universal psychic language. A great mystery of our times is the proliferation of crop circles, replete with seemingly psychic symbols. Would it not make sense to attempt to decode them via Jungian analysis? This talk explores the groundbreaking work on the question by Gary Bobroff, as recounted in his book, Crop Circles, Jung, and the Reemergence of the Archetypical Feminine.

C. G. Jung understood that psychological well-being rests on having a story or “myth” that conveys the meaning and purpose of existence. Along these lines, both Jung and his followers have contended that “the creation of consciousness” (Edinger) is a fitting myth for our time, joining the personal and collective significance of the individuation process.

At this cultural-historical juncture, as information expands and wisdom contracts, this vision of making the unconscious more conscious may have found its ultimate purpose. With the meeting of information technology and biotechnology, the power to reshape the world is turning into the power to reshape ourselves. But can we wield this power in conscious ways, or will we reengineer human nature before we understand it?

This workshop will consider our habits of mind in the digital age, the differences between consciousness and intelligence, the re-enchantment of ways of knowing, and the redemptive prospect of a more co-creative way forward—one that taps the wisdom of the psyche and accounts for the fullness and depth of our humanity.

In his recent book, Jung vs Borg: Finding the Deeply Human in a Posthuman Age, Glen Slater discusses how the integrity of the human psyche is colliding with our adaptation to digital technologies. He contends that a collapse of inner ecology has begun to follow that of outer ecology. This collapse concerns radical changes to human thought processes and the separation of psychological life from the deeper ground of existence.

Slater’s lecture will explore the psychological implications of these Digital Age trends, which are now converging around the rise of artificial intelligence. He will employ C. G. Jung’s understanding of archetypal patterns and psychodynamics in this exploration, focusing on the contrast between the integrative experiences Jung emphasized and the dissociative style of consciousness that pervades today’s technosphere. The lecture will describe how grasping the nature of the psyche counters the reduction of life to data and thinking to computation.
