Judith Anderson
Exploring Forgiveness with the aid of Philoctetes
This
lecture is about forgiveness. For the majority of Christians,
and to an extent for all of us who have grown up in a society
whose values have evolved from what are, perhaps rather
prudishly, called ‘Christian values’, forgiveness is regarded
as an integral, even a prerequisite part of life. But is
forgiving always appropriate – should someone whose child has
been raped forgive the rapist? Is it possible to forgive too
soon? Is it actually possible to forgive as an act of our will
at all, or rather, is the capacity to forgive something given as
‘grace’? In trying to forgive our enemies, do we overlook
the need to forgive the enemy within, to forgive ourselves?
These are a few of the questions explored in this talk, much of
the material for which is derived from private research by the
speaker. The talk also covers the legend of Philoctetes, ‘the
man with the wound and the bow’, and his (and by implication
our) tendencies to ‘cling to our wounds’.
Judith
Anderson is a psychiatrist and a Jungian analytical
psychotherapist.
Unfortunately
the sound of a firework display mars the quality of the recording

Julienne
McLean
Teresa of Avila and Depth Psychology
St
Teresa of Avila, the 16th Century Spanish mystic, contemplative
and writer has left us numerous books, regarded as some of the
most sublime writing of Western Christianity. The core of this
talk is an exploration of the similarities and analogies between
Jungian Psychology and the Christian mystical tradition as
expressed in these writings. Parallels in Teresa’s work with
Jung’s concepts of individuation and the Self are an important
element of the talk. Julienne says: “This divine image not
only expresses the growing intimacy with God, but also as a
psychological symbol, signals the emergence of a more
individuated personality, a fuller realization of the self.
>From this perspective her writings, and in particular The
Interior Castle are affirmed as documents of Christian
individuation. It’s a testimony to the emergence of full
personhood in response to a transcendent God experienced within
the human personality.”
Julienne
McLean is a Jungian analyst and spiritual director with a
lifelong involvement in the Christian contemplative tradition and
interest in its relationship with depth psychology. She is the
author of Towards Mystical Union.

David Tacey
After
Tradition: Closer Encounters with the Sacred
We
must experience our exile – its opposite is home coming. What
are we coming home to? not back to the past but to the depth of
our own being. Paradoxically, as we move further away, we move
towards the mystical depths that give us life. This is the theme
of David Tacey’s talk. He amplifies the meaning of religious
tradition and spirituality. He does not glamorise spirituality.
His long experience of teaching young university students has
reinforced this and he discusses some of the dangers of
spirituality without knowledge of religious traditions. He also
examines aspects of Jung’s use of language especially that of
the Self.
David
Tacey teaches courses in spirituality, psychology and
literary studies and is Associate Professor of English at La

In
Search of Soul
The
Guild of Pastoral Psychology’s 2007 Summer Conference was
entitled In Search of Soul: the Realisation of the Self in
Personal Life and in the World. This is the introductory lecture
to that conference given by Bracha Newman, the Chair of the Guild
at the time. It is, however, much more than a formal
introduction to the conference; it is a moving and deeply
personal account of the meaning of ‘soul’ in Bracha’s
personal life, and the search for, and exploration of her Jewish
roots in a pre-war Poland.

David
Hart
Rediscovering the Margins: looking at life on the edge
David
describes his own margins as an immigrant to the United Kingdom
from his South African homeland. His lecture offers a brief
introduction to that thinking which justifies a centralist
culture: The centre that gives power, privilege and protection.
A case is made for rediscovering the margins, in which revered
people throughout the ages are named as examples of the
authentic, conscious life discovered at these marginal places.
Several life episodes and texts are quoted to demonstrate how C G
Jung honoured the margins as places where the greatest challenge
was faced: The encounter with the unconscious. It is this opus
that brings us to full humanity, consciousness – the Self.
David
Hart is an Anglican priest and member of the Society of St
Francis, exercising his vocation as Senior Chaplain at
Bournemouth University. He is vice-chairman of the Guild of

Josephine
Evetts-Secker
Hunger for Images
We
are, in our modern world, bombarded by images, but images which
increasingly seem to be stripped of their numinosity. Jung was
deeply aware of our hunger for images, and in particular,
religious images. But there has also been a deep-seated anxiety
about image and idolatry – the confusion of the image for what
it represents. Exploiting these themes and also touching on
fairy tales, quantum physics, poetry, and describing at length
two of her clients’ dreams, the speaker begins to uncover
psyche’s image making capacity.
Josephine
Evetts-Secker is a graduate f the C G Jung institute, Zürich,
and a member of IGAP (The Independent Group of Analytical
Psychologists). She was born and educated in England before
leaving for Canada, where she taught for many years at the
University of Calgary. She returned to England in 1997, and now
lives and practices in Whitby, Yorkshire. She has edited volumes
of fairy tales and published articles on literature and
psychology. In 2007 she was ordained a priest of the Anglican
Church.

Angela Cotter
Out
of our Minds:
the rising prevalence of dementia as a
compensation for changes in our current society, and a signpost
to the need to re-appraise our approach to health and healing
This
fascinating talk goes well beyond a formal and academic
discussion of dementia, but opens onto a unique and valuable area
of experience often bypassed through our emphasis on independence
and individualism. The speaker approaches dementia from her huge
experience of working with people with Alzheimer’s and other
conditions. She discusses the physiological symptoms and
questions the assumption that the condition is purely organic.
She brings Jung’s thinking to bare on the subject; he wrote
that the more power man had over nature, the greater his contempt
for the irrational. The archetype of the fool is discussed, and
Angela writes: “Dementia is frightening. It confronts us with
losing our brain, mind and of that which makes us uniquely human…
but perhaps we who don't have dementia are the fools.”
Angela
Cotter is a Jungian Psychotherapist and nurse who has worked
with people with dementia since 1989. During this time she has
explored through her research and teaching what modern
conceptions of old age carry for the collective. She was
Ferguson Fellow at Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre from 2004 – 6
where she researched the theme of the ’wounded healer’.

Terror, Trauma
and Adversity-Activated Development:
Jungian reflections and
applications
"At
8.46 on the morning of Sep 11 2001 the USA became a nation
transformed." (from the commission into the ‘9/11’
disaster) But what was the nature of that transformation? The
speaker argues that the mental health profession is far too keen
on pigeon-holing people as ‘victims’ or being ‘traumatised’.
People are transformed in a whole range ways, many finding new
strength and a will to survive and some finding through disaster
the power to support others. The lecture also explores the
concept of the ‘unipolar archetype’ in explaining the
gripping power of terror.

Armstrong 1st February 2007
The role of

In
this simply expressed, yet penetrating lecture the speaker
explores the extremely current and seminal subject of
fundamentalism. Her discussion is not confined to Islamic
fundamentalism (although that is discussed at length) but
includes Christian, Jewish and other forms. There is a section
about the vexed question of Islamic women wearing the veil or
hijab. The talk finishes by exploring how we might find a way
through the current mess of racial anger and resentment, so that
Mankind can live with itself in the modern world.
Karen

69 she was a nun in the Society of Holy Child of Jesus. Between
her many public lectures and writing she teaches Christianity at

speaks about David Holt’s “preparedness to enter into the
psychotic, and to be able to open up a very fine line between our
own personal madness and the madness of the world…”He
presents David’s challenge to us to ask ourselves: “Can we
speak beyond the boundaries of any particular religious
tradition?” “Can those of us who are aware of the enormity of
the challenges the world faces… delve into those religious
traditions again, and see in what way, perhaps, we can find, if
not answers, at least paths that may lead us out of the

‘Mike’, who was ‘born white, but raised black’, but
failed to find acceptance in either society. He went on the run,
became a killer, then his life lost its meaning. He also
describes the story of Buddha and Angulimala, and through each
explores the ‘empty space for the making of meaning.

Anne Maguire 5th
October 2006
Islam and the Divine Comedy of Dante
Spain
was occupied by Muslims for 900 years from 711 AD, during which
time it became the most advanced country in Europe and a centre
of every branch of learning. The Spanish Islamic philosopher Ibn
Arabi wrote Al-Futûhât thirty years before the birth
of Dante, and it seems likely that this provided a model for his
magnificent poem The Divine Comedy. The lecture traces the
origins of the poem and the life of the poet. The speaker
describes the integration of the feminine aspect in the psyche of
Dante in the process of individuation which the poem
allegorically expresses.
Anne
Maguire is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and a

Because

confluence of three different images of time: from Kierkegaard:
“Time is infinite succession”; from physicist Ilya Prigogine:
“Time is construction”; and from Jung: “Time is
consciousness. The lecture will consider the irreversibility of
life’s events, suffering and the relevance of Tillich’s
definition of “the courage to be” and Jung’s process of
individuation.

Is Analytical Psychology a Religion?
The
Speaker proposes a classification of people, according to their
attitude towards religion, as: Fundamentalists (those who adhere
to the traditional tenets of religion, in particular its
explanations of the world); Rationalists (those who reject
religion's explanation of the world, because science has
superseded it, and hence reject religion as a whole); Romantics
(those who maintain that it is not the purpose of religion to
explain the world, and therefore can accept it in our modern
age). He then attempts to fit Jung into this framework, and in
the light of this considers whether analytical psychology can
itself be regarded as a religion.
Robert
Segal is Professor of Theories of Religion at the University
of Lancaster, where he has taught since coming to the UK from the

When
Unity and Brotherhood Disintegrate - Yugoslavia Reflections
The
Speaker reflects on the nature of inter-ethnic violence
attempting to move away from easy logical ‘explanations’. He
proposes instead a model of an ecological perspective to
violence. He identifies two types of security: ‘primitive’
(based on exclusion and sharp polarisation) and ‘differentiated’
(based on appreciation and acceptance of differences). He argues
that it is ineffective to attempt to stop violence by condemning,
if we fail to appreciate the numinosity and powerfully ‘dark’
attraction that violence has on us. Using Jungian ideas, he
proposes new ways of grasping the complexity and paradoxes
involved in this kind of violence.
Renos
Papadopoulos is Professor of Analytical Psychology at the
University of Essex, he is Consultant Clinical Psychologist at

book Shakespeare Comes to Broadmoor when he initiated the Royal
Shakespeare Company’s visit to perform Hamlet in Broadmoor. In
his book Mutative Metaphors in Psychotherapy he wrote: “The
Aeolian Mode is an inspiration to all those who know that before
the image stirs the surface it has touched the depths and can
bring about healing and understanding.”

Bishop
Kenneth Cragg
As Muslims see Themselves - in the Light
of their Qur'an
Kenneth
Cragg was the Bishop of Jerusalem. When in 1991 he presented
this talk, it had been almost 40 years since Islam had been the
subject of a Guild lecture. Kenneth spoke Arabic fluently and
understood the meaning of Qur'an – as it is understood by
Muslims – through his love of that work, and through his
intimate knowledge of many Muslim people and their culture. This
pre-‘9/11’ talk is not loaded with the expectation of
terrorism within Islam or with the exegesis of terrorism’s
meaning, but explains its precepts clearly and concisely. He
asks us to “find and realise and celebrate the overlap” which
Islam shares with Christianity.

&
Vera von der
Heydt
Our Time and its Shadow (2 lectures)
Thirty
years ago, at the Spring conference of 1976 the Guild made a
recording of one of its lectures for the first time. It was an
extremely important occasion, since the two speakers were Vera
von der Heydt, who had represented, perhaps, the very essence of
what the Guild stood for since its earliest days, and Sir
Lawrence van der Post, one of the most renowned speakers ever to
have spoken to the Guild. we are hoping to re-releasing this
recording, completely remastered.
Unfortunately,
this old and historic recording is not of the best sound quality.

Prof Giles
Quispel
The Gospel of Thomas and the Trial of Jesus
In
the mid 1950s, Professor Quispel became the first scholar to read
and translate a newly discovered text, which proved to be the
first complete version of the Gospel of Thomas.
This
Judeo-Christian text originated in Mesopotamia, part of the
writings of an ancient branch of Christianity which later spread
east across Asia, as far as China and India. It is a collection
of “secret sayings of the living Jesus”, many of which have
parallels in the canonical Gospels. Prof. Quispel discusses
several of these in detail, enriching our knowledge of Jesus of
Nazareth, and shedding light on the likely origins of this
extraordinary document. He devotes part of the lecture to a
remarkable prediction of Jesus’ that He would destroy the
Temple, and that it would never again be rebuilt. Prof Quispel
also discusses certain aspects of Gnosticism (the Gospel of
Thomas is not considered a Gnostic text), and shows parallels
between the Gospel of Thomas and the writings of Carl Jung.

Molly Tuby
Alchemy
and the Search
In
this excellent introduction to alchemy the speaker draws a
parallel between it and Jung’s individuation process,
describing alchemists as “‘passionate and dedicated explorers
whose psychic experiences were projected onto the materials in
the vessel.” The speaker expands the talk with two dreams, she
looks at alchemy within an historic context and finally explores
the ‘unus mundus’ in which matter and spirit are united.
Molly
Tuby was born in Alexandria and celebrates her 90th birthday
on 27th March 2007. She is a past chair and honorary fellow of
the Guild of Pastoral Psychology, a Jungian analyst, a Senior
Analyst with The Independent Group of Analytical Psychologists,
former editor of Harvest and president of the Analytical
Psychologists club. She was inspirational within the Guild and
initiated the Guild’s local groups. She has been loved for her
to generous hospitality and excellent cooking and has cooked for
Carl Jung.

Molly Tuby
The
Shadow
This
talk is deceptively simple. Through Jung's vital concept of the
shadow Molly touches on the mechanism of projection and the
experience of evil. She writes “experience shows that there is
no possibility of contacting the deeper regions of the psyche
without dealing first with the shadow. The shadow is a barrier
to the true centre, to the Self.”
