Kimberly Johnson is an author, postpartum care activist, trauma educator, structural bodyworker and mother. She graduated Valedictorian from Northwestern University with a BS in Social Policy (‘97). She studied yoga directly with the three main lineage holders of the Krishnamacharya tradition- Desikachar, BKS Iyengar, and Pattabhi Jois and taught yoga full time for 15 years, while also maintaining a Structural Integration practice. When radically rearranged by childbirth, Kimberly’s life changed shape to attend to the cultural chasm of postpartum care, and as a result she trained in Somatic Experiencing and Sexological Bodywork to be able to help women heal from birth injuries, gynecological surgeries and sexual boundary violations.
Annika and Tristan are two distinct persons that share a single body. Together over the last sixteen years they have learned to live in harmony with each other while overcoming the unique struggles and challenges their situation naturally brings. Today they are ready to share what they have learned from their experience of being “two souls in one brain” and what the existence of others like them may mean for science and the hard problem of consciousness.

Six seasoned explorers of synchronicity share their insight into the topic, including how synchronicity, as an experience or as a principle, plays a vital part in their professional work.
This is the inaugural set of talks in a new ‘Beyond Jung’ series hosted by the Pari Center, honouring the seminal work and inspiration of the Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung. Our title, ‘Living Synchronicity’, refers to both the vital contemporary importance of synchronicity and the possibility of our living more synchronistically. Beginning with this topic seems especially apt in view of the seminal contribution to the study of synchronicity by the founder of the Pari Center, the late David Peat.
With Rick Tarnas, session 1 of 6.
The profound shift of horizon entailed by the ongoing fact of synchronicities occurring in countless individual lives carries existential implications at the most intimate as well as most cosmic levels of human concern. In this lecture, Rick Tarnas hopes to address some of these more practical implications as well as those that touch on the great metaphysical and epistemological issues at play.
With Suzanne Gieser, session 2 of 6.
In Suzanne’s personal journey of 37 years of working with Pauli’s correspondence, there has been a peculiar parallel process of synchronicities also mainly expressing itself in objects splitting and systems breaking, as well as an emergence of a ‘mirroring’ theme. In her case the theme of splitting showed itself in a very numinous dream in 1982, long before I encountered the Pauli material. This lecture will probe into synchronicity from these angles.
With Jean Shinoda Bolen, session 3 of 6.
Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD, is the author of the seminal book, The Tao of Psychology: Synchronicity and the Self, now published internationally in eleven languages. The Tao of Psychology provides the key for each individual to interpret the synchronistic events in his or her life and gives fresh insight into the relationships, dreams, and flashes of perception that transform our existence. In this session, Dr Bolen will share her personal inspiration, insights, and experiences of synchronicity throughout her life as an international author, activist, psychiatrist, and Jungian analyst.
With Roderick Main, session 4 of 6.
In this presentation, Roderick Main will first clarify the holistic character of Jung’s proposed epistemological contribution with his concept of synchronicity. He will then illustrate how this holistic approach to knowledge informed Jung’s scientific and scholarly work, including on synchronicity itself. Finally, he will indicate some of the ways in which my own work as a researcher and educator has been influenced by holistic epistemological principles based on the concept of synchronicity.
