A Journey into Maya Mythology: Reclaiming the Feminine Within
“The collective unconscious—so far as we can say anything about it at all—appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious.” C.G. Jung, (CW-8:325, The Nature of the Psyche)
Presented by:
Nancy C. Romig, DNSc, and Jungian Analyst
Saturday, November 9, 2024; 10am – 1:30pm PST.

Course Description
Through his travels, Jung’s observations and experiences in Africa, India and in the American Southwest affirmed his belief in the existence of the collective unconscious and the importance of studying mythology as a source of knowledge of the primordial psyche. The structural elements of inner psychic events, situational patterns and experiences are expressed in myths which can lead to a deepening of the individuation process. Symbols in dreams, art and cultural myths provide a window into the personal and collective unconscious.
This presentation is an exploration of the manifestations of the Feminine archetype in the ancestral/ cultural collective unconscious in religious and mythological images found in the Maya culture. This presentation will include case material, dreams, and spontaneous images through active imagination.

Educational Goal:
This presentation will provide insights from a Jungian approach to dreams and active imagination originating at the archetypal level of the unconscious leading to transformation in the journey of individuation to wholeness.
