Its beauty and mystique will once again provide the setting for our annual Jung in Ireland programs. Open to individuals from all fields, as well as mental health professionals, the Jung in Ireland programs offer an exceptional opportunity for participants to meet and exchange ideas with others from diverse backgrounds and to interact with the dynamic and inspiring monks of Glenstal Abbey and internationally known faculty of Jungian analysts and authors. We invite you to join us for one or both of these unique offerings and experience the magical and alchemical setting of Ireland!

THE GIFT & PERIL OF ANGER A Program with the Monks of Glenstal Abbey April 9–15, 2018 County Limerick, Ireland You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger. —Buddha

A

nger can range from frustration and annoyance to outright rage. It expresses itself through

feelings, facial expressions, body language, and behavior. Anger can lead to impulsive behavior and impair our judgment. It can be a toxic poison that consumes us and, turned inward, can lead to depression or even suicide.

Alternatively, anger can be a source of creative energy, mobilize us, serve as a catalyst to help us move forward in life, and help us further our individuation process. Through presentations by Jungian analysts, the monks of Glenstal Abbey, and dialogue and discussion, we will explore this complex theme together.

The Program

T

he importance of anger for the psyche, especially as a fearful experience capable of destroying the forward movement of life, is no new discovery.

Ancient scholars and poets such as Seneca and Plutarch wrote extensively on anger. The Bible is replete with examples of God’s rage,

and the myths of ancient Greece recount vivid descriptions of the anger of its gods, goddesses, and heroes.

In general, Western consciousness has chosen to emphasize but one aspect of the archetypal image of anger: its danger. This one-sidedness reflects our culture’s difficulty with a creative appreciation of anger. Rather than psychologically exploring the meaning of rage and integrating anger’s creative and connective value through the exercise of insight, writers, artists, poets, political leaders, and even psychologists have focused on its potential for violence and aggression.

Consideration of the positive gift of anger does not minimize its potential peril. Rage overwhelms the ego, while anger communicates something vital and essential to it.

The passion of rage obliterates the symbolic process and blurs boundaries between ourselves and others. Anger, on the other hand, can lead to greater self-awareness and an appreciation of intrapsychic dynamics. Anger has the potential to ultimately enhance our personal relationships and provide insight into ourselves.

Given that anger is such a basic human experience, it is time for a thoughtful understanding and appreciation of anger’s vital role in the process of inner transformation called “individuation.” We need to recognize that there exists an essential dichotomy in the archetypal complex of anger, an aspect of our emotions that, like all archetypes, has positive as well as negative sides—attributes that contain the potential of being both gift and peril. In this seminar, we will explore the vicissitudes of anger and the ultimate gift that it potentially provides if we approach it as a message from the Self.

GROWING, WHILE GROWING OLDER April 15–22, 2018 County Kerry, Ireland You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. —C. S. Lewis

G

eorge Bernard Shaw is supposed to have said that youth is wasted on the young.

As we grow older, many of us have come to identify with this statement, though few of us would want to have to relive the struggles of our youthful years. Nevertheless, growing older need not mean that we are in countdown mode and just marking time as best we can. Never before have people lived longer or had more choices of how they want to live. Barring ill health, later life has the potential for being a most productive and satisfying period, with emphasis on “growing,” rather than getting older.

urrent research is showing more and more that the human brain can remain active and highly functional during our later years if we give it something to do. Our brains are resilient and continue to have the capacity

to adapt, change, and grow. Validating Jung’s approach to the period that he refers to as the second half of life, neuroscience has proved that we can continue to change and grow throughout the life cycle. We have the potential to be far more adaptable and flexible in later life than most of us thought possible when we were younger.

From a Jungian perspective, our mental and spiritual health is often less a matter of fate than a matter of choice. As we grow older, we can choose to worry less about what others think of us and what they expect of us, and instead take pleasure in the personal freedom to develop in a way that was not possible when we were younger. If we continue to grow as we grow older, life can be a period of creativity and vibrancy, as well as an opportunity to redefine ourselves and a chance to learn new languages, embrace new hobbies and experiences, and integrate neglected aspects of our personalities.

As we grow older, we can make it a time of generativity, not stagnation. We can revisit previous passions, explore new interests, and do things just for the pleasure of it. Most important, it should also be a time to focus on ourselves, an opportunity to delve deeper inwardly, and a stage in life to examine our deeper, spiritual selves. During the course of our week together, through presentations and workshops, we will explore what we need to do to live consciously and creatively and continue to grow as we grow older.
