Jung 2024 Final (2) Suffering is part of the human condition. Every individual and society experience loss, crises, and trauma at some point. Due to several variables, there is an entire spectrum of outcomes from those who struggle to reconcile and integrate their trauma, and others are able to move through post traumatic growth. India has experienced deep and repetitive trauma over the last millennium while striving to maintain the integrity of its multitude of philosophies and cultures. What is the secret of its survival and continuing spiritual growth against all the currents of time and history? And in what ways have those been compromised, or evolved? What are the lasting marks of those generational traumas on individuals, families, and cultures? And for our inquiry, what lessons does it hold as we navigate our own crises and traumas? We will explore these questions with the help of the spirit of India, its archetypes, traditions, stories and rituals. Explore India and its timeless spirit with the unique Jungian lens of Analytical psychology under the guidance of the quaternity of Ashok Bedi, M.D., Jungian analyst, Ami Bedi LPC NCC, trauma specialist and psychotherapist, Usha Bedi retired chef of Dancing Ganesha, cultural consultant and culinary expert about everything Indian, and Regine Oesch-Aiyer, head navigator and Indophile with her unique blend of her Swiss precision amid the perpetual Indian chaos.

Description Myths are the building blocks of the collective unconscious. Just as dreams communicate the archetypal guidance to the individuals, myths communicate these archetypes to the culture and communities. Myths are the dreams of cultures. Myths have a unique cultural flavor and a cross cultural resonance. Generally, the “Hero Myths” may symbolize the ego complex, the “Mother Myths” may symbolize the return to the unconscious and the “Child Myths” may symbolize emerging Self and the “Creation Myths” may symbolize the process of the creation of new consciousness, restoration, renewal, and transformation.  We will explore the structure and the Alchemic Hermeneutic method to analyze the myths. We will explore the myth of Goethe’s Faustian Bargain and the Sufi myth of the Rebirth mystery embedded in the 18th Surah of Quran from a Jungian lens as these guide us in the therapeutic vessel and the larger cultural theater. Join me in exploration of the timeless wisdom of our depths.

https://nyjungcenter.org/trip/joh24/#weekend   July 19-20, 2024 Weekend Online Workshop with ASHOK BEDI Profiles of the Self in Relationship and Over a Lifespan Relationships are the soil in which the seed of the soul blossoms to its fullest potential. Our life journey begins in the matrix of relationships with the mother and father. It is enriched by friendships, ripens into an erotic relationship, then returns to the Self in old age and engages the transcendent in preparation for death, in uroboric conclusion of our journey to our celestial origins.   This weekend, we dive into these relationships and stages of life with Jungian psychoanalyst and a board-certified psychiatrist Ashok Bedi.   Throughout life, friendships can be mirrors to our soul. We will draw on Eastern spirituality, analytical psychology, and emerging neuroscience as valuable guidance in navigating these encounters. The Yoga Sutra, written by the sage Patanjali, crystallizes four types of relationships. Psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut proposes three modes of friendship. Together, we will explore these tales of tangled souls, asking: What are the rules of engagement? Is your enemy your most precious friendship?   The relationship of marriage becomes the matrix of projections and reintegration for the Soul. When we work through and withdraw these projections, how do we experience the other? The tale of Krishna and his 16,000 lovers, from the Hindu Bhagwad Purana, is instructive to address this mystery.   Eventually we arrive at old age, where we ask, what do we hold and what do we fold? How to triage the priorities in aging? Is there life after death? We will explore this issue based on recent research, including Atul Gawande’s thesis “On Being Mortal.” As death is certain for everyone, how do we prepare for death and […]

DIVINING THE THAR DESERT: THE SEARCH FOR THE CREATIVE WELLSPRING A Jungian Roadmap into the Soul of Ancient Indian Civilization Guest Faculty Ashok Bedi M.D., Jungian Psychoanalyst and Ami Bedi, LPC NCC February 14 - 25, 2025 The C.G. Jung Foundation of New York and C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago are proud to sponsor the 18th educational tour of India in February 2025. This trip is an opportunity to see India through the lens of analytical psychology. Join us in this Jungian passage to the dream like, archetypal landscape of India, including a luxury tented retreat in the Thar Desert, Jaisalmer, a World Heritage site and part of the Silk Road. Jodhpur with its majestic Mehrangarh Fort was a flourishing trading town in its heyday. At the end we gather with Dr. Bedi at the beautiful Chhatrasagar retreat, a magical hideaway in the Rajasthani countryside, exploring rural life and the amazing bird sanctuary. Individuation implies becoming whole and the personal best version of ourselves. It is a journey around the world and in the deepest recesses of our Psyche, it is about wandering without getting lost. At some point in this soul journey, one must encounter the desert, both literally and in our psychic landscape. Jung encountered the desert in his dark night of the soul as chronicled in his Red Book. The wisdom of our depths speaks to us in the desert. The soul of a culture is archived in the myths, stories, songs, folklore and customs of its desert. The wellspring of the desert holds the memories of a civilization’s triumphs and tragedies. The Indian desert of Rajasthan is one such vessel of the archetypal soul of India with its guidance and cautions. […]
