CUBA! Myth, Music and Spirit

NEW YORK CENTER FOR JUNGIAN STUDIES Seminars and Study Tours in Extraordinary Settings

“Cuba! Myth, Music and Spirit” An Educational Program January 4-11, 2014

The heritage of Cuba is rich and many layered; it is an amalgam of and influenced by African, Caribbean, Spanish and American culture. Its exotic setting makes Cuba a wonderful place to explore our theme and enjoy what promises to be a very special program – one which will explore the roles that myth, magic and music play in its psychology and spirituality.

Led by Jungian Analyst Aryeh Maidenbaum, our program will begin in Havana and include presentations by Havana University Professors as well as accompanying faculty Monika Wikman. During the course of our trip, we will hear some of Cubaʼs most gifted musicians perform for us; visit Havanaʼs Santeria Museum to experience the archetypal aspects of the Santeria “religion” and the integral role music and ritual dance play in this system of beliefs. Additionally, we will enjoy a guided tour of Cubaʼs world class Fine Arts Museum, see the Colonial mansions, Cathedrals and cobblestone plazas of Havana and Trinidad de-Cuba.

Our group will be traveling to Cuba under the auspices of an approved Treasury Department license. We invite you to join us on this exotic and extraordinary adventure.
