Evoking the Unexpressed: Healing in the Realm of Matter and Spirit May
15 - 18, 2008
Brattleboro, Vermont
To heal means to invoke what is unexpressed. Because side by side with affliction, disorder, and spiritual malaise there exists a compensatory archetypal reality. Even when one is deeply entrenched within a field of trauma and distress, a parallel field exists, the dynamics of which allow for a breaking of the “spell” –offering redemption from an archetypal possession. Healing, since the beginning of time, has involved immersion in these alternate fields, facilitated by many different means, as well as traditions. Through a trans-disciplinary investigation, we will look at the archetypal dimensions of healing, and of ways to facilitate its emergence in our life and work.
If you can imagine bringing together three world leaders in the realm of matter-psyche studies, and having them share their lifetime of work in archetypes and fields, then you have a sense of this year’s Annual Vermont Conference.
Beverly Rubik’s research in the field of complementary healing, and especially her insights into the nature of healing within the “biofield” is by now legendary. Michael Conforti’s work on the objective psyche and archetypal fields has influenced an entire generation of artists and clinicians, and indeed this conference itself promises to greatly enhance our understanding of the archetype of healing.
We will examine what strengthens the workings of non-generative fields, and those processes and dynamics responsible for their transformation into fields of greater meaning, complexity, and spiritual emergence. To this end, each speaker will have an entire day to present his or her work, and share with the Assisi community new discoveries and insights.
In addition, on Saturday afternoon the Assisi Institute will offer a special case colloquium. Dr. Conforti will present an introduction to the theory and application of archetypal pattern analysis. He will examine the workings of complexes and archetypes, and explore ways to apply Jung’s symbolic approach to psyche in psychotherapy and organizational consultation. This annual seminar offers a unique opportunity to learn from founder of this emerging field.
Held in the picturesque town of Brattleboro, Vermont, the conference offers participants and their guests many additional pleasures. Aside from a vibrant arts community and thriving culture, Brattleboro boasts beautiful scenery and countless ways to enjoy it: whether exploring by kayak, canoe, bicycle, horse, car, golf cart, or simply on foot, Southern Vermont is a popular destination year-round. We hope you can join us for this milestone event.
