SUMMARY:Synchronicity\, Mind and Matter
DESCRIPTION:Synchronicity\, Mind and Matter \n\n\n\nWith Allan Combs\, Roderick Main\, Mathew Mather\, Cruz Mañas Sabbadini\, Remo Roth\, Shantena Sabbadini\, Yuriko Sato\, Jean-François Vezina and special guest poet\, Richard Berengarten \n\n\n\n8 two-hour online sessions\, one every Saturday and Sunday \n\n\n\nFebruary 13 – March 7\, 20219:00 PST | 12:00 EST | 18:00 CET \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, recordings will be available for any sessions you can not attend. \n\n\n\nThe term ‘synchronicity’ was introduced by C.G. Jung to denote those experiences in which a coincidence of inner and outer events appears to be particularly significant\, transcending causal explanation and carrying a message that often has a remarkable\, sometimes numinous\, impact on the person experiencing it. \n\n\n\nWhen confronted with such experiences we are drawn to look at physical and psychic events as subtly interconnected\, perhaps even as manifestation of a common underlying reality. Such an intuition resonates with the findings of quantum physics\, in which the description of physical processes inevitably involves the notion of an observer\, and was the overarching theme of the correspondence Jung entertained with the Nobel prize winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli over a quarter of a century. \n\n\n\nIn this course we will focus on synchronicity as a gate to a deeper understanding of the relationship between mind and matter and as a guide to read the archetypal energy configurations we encounter in our daily life. This experiential approach to synchronicity will use the I Ching\, the ancient Chinese oracle\, as a tool for ‘inviting synchronicity’. \n\n\n\nWe are very fortunate to have poet Richard Berengarten as part of our Synchronicity series. Richard will be reading from two of his collections: Notness which includes a section of ten sonnets entitled ‘On Synchronicity\,’  and his ambitious Changing\,a homage to the I Ching.Richard will briefly introduce himself and his work and each session will begin with his reading from these two works. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday February 13: Synchronicity Questwith Remo Roth \n\n\n\nExperiencing synchronicities is the observation of spontaneous incarnation phenomena in our consciousness. \n\n\n\nBeginning with Jung’s Scarab Synchronicity\, I show the conscious preconditions for the experience of synchronicities. Or in other words: What change of our consciousness is necessary for the observation of a multiplication of synchronicities? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday February 14: Necessary Chances: Synchronicity in the Encounters that Transform Uswith Jean-François Vezina \n\n\n\nPeople often enter our lives in mysterious ways. We have all met ‘by accident’ a person who crossed our path and radically altered our trajectory and opened a new door that helped us to enter a new universe. What predisposes us to such meetings? Who are these Trickster’s messengers—not necessarily people\, as they can also take the forms of books or movies—that lead us to cross a new threshold? \n\n\n\nIn the light of the new sciences and cinema\, this presentation introduces more than 20 yeas of research trying to understand the fascinating question of synchronistic encounters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday February 20: Numinous Matter: Synchronicity and the Reanimation of the Physical Worldwith Roderick Main \n\n\n\nIn this session we shall explore the implications of synchronicity for our experience of and relationship to the physical world.  The presumption of disenchanted science is that matter is in itself inherently inert and devoid of meaning.  Contrary to this\, with the concept of synchronicity as well as his use of alchemical symbolism\, Jung proposed that meaning and numinosity\, as expressions of the psychoid archetype\, could be inherent properties of not only the psyche but also matter.  Such a view arguably fosters a more participative and respectful\, rather than instrumental and exploitative\, relationship to the physical world.  We shall examine some of the experiences and underpinning philosophical assumptions that have been invoked in support of this view. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday February 21: Synchronicity: A Common Reality in Japanwith Yuriko Sato \n\n\n\nSince time immemorial\, before C.G. Jung named the phenomenon\, synchronicity has been perceived by people of various cultures. In the modern Western world view\, mind and matter are clearly separated. Synchronistic phenomena\, which cross the boundary between and connect these two distinct categories of reality\, are therefore intriguing. However\, in places where older world views have been retained in some way\, such as in Japan\, people seem to be less curious than Westerners about why and how synchronistic events happen; they seem to think of them more as natural occurrences—“just so” and “it happens.” I will approach synchronicity from these perspectives\, using the Japanese psyche as an example\, to explore its nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday and Sunday February 27 – 28: I Ching and Synchronicity Workshopwith Shantena Sabbadini and Cruz Mañas Sabbadini \n\n\n\nThe intention of this workshop is to give you an experiential taste of reading events in a synchronistic perspective. Opening up to the experience of synchronicity is the essence of all divinatory practices. The divinatory practice we will explore in this workshop is the consultation of the I Ching\, the ancient Chinese Book of Changes. \n\n\n\nWe suggest to approach divination not as a way to predict the future\, but as a way to allow unconscious knowledge to emerge in order to illuminate a problematic situation or a specific question. \n\n\n\nDue to the constraint of meeting online rather than in person\, we ask you to do your I Ching consultation in advance of the workshop\, so that the workshop time can be fully devoted to the interpretation of the answers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday March 6: Tarot and Synchronicity: Reading the World as Symbol with Mathew Mather \n\n\n\nAfter a brief elaboration on the history of the Tarot and its use as a divinatory tool\, Mathew will relate a number of synchronistic experiences. Based on this he will describe how the Tarot can be used as a divinatory method allowing for an understanding and appreciation of the mytho-poetic language of the Anima Mundi\, the Soul of the World. In this space\, the possibility emerges of being initiated into a stitching together of the microcosm of our individual life myth within the macrocosm of the Anima Mundi. \n\n\n\nThe second part of the session will include an interactive Tarot workshop in which participants will be invited to respond in word and image to a ‘random’ selection of a card\, individually chosen\, from the major arcana. This will be followed by sharing in groups\, and then a final discussion. Note that a pack of Tarot cards will not be required. Please have a sheet of sketch paper and a few pens (art materials) available during the session. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday March 7: The Trickster Inside and Outwith Allan Combs \n\n\n\nThe trickster is a shadow figure\, a dynamic archetype\, hidden in every human psyche. It arises uninvited as impulses that urge us to “play the devil” with our own rational side and behavior. But it can also manifest as a sense of playfulness\, when one becomes a clown in an otherwise “serious” situation. The trickster is projected in myths and stories of virtually every traditional culture\, from the Native American crow and coyote\, to the closely related Mexican/Aztec dancing Huehuecóyotl (or Ueuecoyotl)\, and on to the African spider trickster\, Anansi\, and Renard the trickster fox\, popular throughout Europe during the late Middle Ages; and includes great trickster gods such as the Chinese monkey king\, the Norse Loki\, and the Greek Hermes\, said to be the “friendliest of the gods to men.” \n\n\n\nI show this with the help of some of my most important synchronicities\, which\, so to speak\, talked about how they work\, their mode of operation\, and in this way led me to the method I call today Synchronicity Quest. \n\n\n\nThe trickster protects us as individuals\, and society as a whole\, form taking ourselves too seriously\, and from growing rigid and inflexible in our traditional ways. Often by the event of synchronicities that trip us up at first\, and make us stop and examine ourselves. If we are open to these seeming stumbling blocks\, we often discover them to be treasures in hiding; gifts from the trickster to enrich our lives. \n\n\n\nThis lesson will encourage each of us to explore our personal experiences of synchronicity\, share them with others\, and question how they reflect the work of the archetypal trickster\, often to our consternation at first\, but ultimately facilitating our own growth and transformation.

SUMMARY:Flickering Reality: May the Force Be with Us
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B48F_L8VS5k\n\n\n\n\n\nFlickering Reality: Exploring Ideas in Film and Television \n\n\n\nMay the Force Be with Us: The Archetype of the Hieros Gamos in the Star Wars Mythology \n\n\n\nwith Jean-Francois Vezina \n\n\n\nSunday March 14\, 202110:00 am PDT  |  1:00 pm EDT  |  6:00 pm CET \n\n\n\nA monthly get-together to examine the thought-provoking\, the philosophical\, and the ones that take risks. \n\n\n\nJean-François Vézina will be looking at the full spectrum of archetypical dynamics in the Star Wars series. The core of the last episode of the series contains a great expression of the archetype of the Hieros Gamos that Jung and Pauil talked about in their correspondences. Facing the dark side of fear\, symbolised by the Star Wars’ character Palpatine and experienced in our times with Covid-19\, we need to be courageous and imaginatives in the reconciliation of our opposites\, and Star Wars offers a great path to this collective and personal individuation. Jean-François will divide his presentation into four 20-minute parts leaving plenty of time for community Q&A and discussion. \n\n\n\n\n‘May the Force be with me’.  (Trilogy 1-3) Egotic dimension of the Force\n\n\n\n‘May the Force be with you’ (Trilogy 4-6) Heroic dimension of the Force\n\n\n\n‘May The Force be with us’  (Trilogy 7-9) Hiero Gamic dimension of the Force.\n\n\n\n‘Baby Yoda\, a symbol of the sacred child’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJean-François Vézina is a clinical psychologist in private practice in Québec\, an author and a musician. He was the president of the Jungian Society of Quebec for 7 years and has recently created the Cercle Jung de Tequenonday and The Hilbert Hotel\, a psycho-philo-poetic experience exploring the multiverse. \n\n\n\nHe has published several books translated in various languages such as Necessary Chances by Pari Publishing\, The Love Adventure and Dancing with Chaos on the Trickster archetype. \n\n\n\nWeb Site: www.hilbert-hotel.com \n\n\n\nThis series is free and open to everyone! \n\n\n\nJoin our Zoom meeting via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82772844869 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate\, have any questions or need any help just contact Eleanor Peat: eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\nWhat do Films and Television say about our world? What ideas can be examined through the moving image? From Science Fiction\, to Comedy\, Drama and Documentaries\, the Seventh Art has been a mirror of our society\, from the stories they portray to the method in which they’ve been produced\, a mirror that is sometimes difficult to understand. \n\n\n\nThis monthly series will reveal the message behind different Films and TV Series\, exploring the themes through the lens of physics\, psychology\, philosophy and sociology. Each session will have a guest speaker who will analyse these themes\, which will then be discussed with our community\, and lead us to a better understanding of film and reveal the deeper truths of our world.

SUMMARY:The Practice of the I Ching
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Lad9o5wME\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Practice of the I Ching \n\n\n\nwith Shantena Sabbadini and Cruz Mañas Sabbadini \n\n\n\nSaturday March 2710:00am PDT  | 1:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\nOnline Pari Dialogue \n\n\n\nThe practice of the I Ching oracle is a form of introspection bridging different dimensions\, unconscious and conscious\, imaginal and rational\, heart and mind. The wild images from a shamanic tradition three thousand years old are framed in the rigorous system of yin and yang. And the intuitive practice of ‘rolling the words in one’s heart’ is grounded in the exact discipline of handling the forty-nine yarrow stalks or the three coins and reading one’s answer in the book. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar we will explore the practice of consultation in detail\, answering\, as far as possible\, all the questions concerning this mysterious activity\, from the appropriate formulation of the question to the specific function of the various sections of a hexagram in the answer. \n\n\n\nThe webinar is addressed both to newcomers and to ‘old I Ching hands.’ Our main reference will be the Eranos I Ching\, translated by Rudolf Ritsema and Shantena Sabbadini\, but you are welcome to keep at hand your favourite I Ching and to compare passages. Often the ancient Chinese of the I Chingallows for multiple meanings. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday March 27\, Shantena and Cruz will open our monthly Community Call with a presentation and followed by discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE!\n\n\n\nJoin our Zoom meeting via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82002877500 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate\, have any questions or need any help just contact Eleanor Peat: eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShantena Sabbadini graduated from the University of Milan in 1968 and was awarded his PhD in physics from the University of California in 1976. In Milan he researched the foundations of quantum physics\, laying the base for what is currently known as the decoherence interpretation of quantum physics. At the University of California\, he contributed to the theoretical work behind the first identification of a black hole\, the X-ray source Cygnus X-1. In the 1990s he was scientific consultant for the Eranos Foundation\, an East-West research center founded under the auspices of C.G. Jung in the 1930s. In that context he produced various translations and commentaries of Chinese classics in Italian and English\, including the Yijing and the trilogy of Daoist classics\, the Laozi\, the Zhuangzi and the Liezi. From 2002 onwards he collaborated with F. David Peat running the Pari Center for New Learning and in 2017 he succeeded his friend and colleague as director of the center. \n\n\n\nShantena leads workshops and courses on the philosophical implications of quantum physics\, on Daoism\, and on using the Yijing as a tool for introspection. His most recent book in English\, Pilgrimages to Emptiness: Rethinking Reality through Quantum Physics\, was published by Pari Publishing in 2017. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCruz Mañas Sabbadini\, is a clinical psychologist. She researched mental illness and gave treatment in jails. She works as a psychotherapist with a Jungian orientation and gives I Ching  seminars with Shantena Sabbadini. She founded El Cortijo de Gaia\, a deep psychology center in Lanjaron (Granada). She is author of the book Simplicidad Consciente and of a number of poetry books\, among which Todo lo Sabe la Tierra\, Mar de Fondo\, Noveno Planeta\, La Zarza Incandescente.
