Welcome Ireland—rich in myth, spirit, and archetypal significance—is a land where the past is inextricably woven with the present. 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, these programs offer an exceptional opportunity for participants to meet and exchange ideas with others from diverse backgrounds, interact with a dynamic, internationally known faculty of Jungian analysts and authors, and experience the magical and alchemical setting of Ireland. We invite you to join us for one or both of these unique offerings! —Aryeh Maidenbaum and Diana Rubin, Directors, New York Center for Jungian Studies March 24–30, 2017

Shame & Pride: Complex Emotions A Program with the Monks of Glenstal Abbey March 24–30, 2017 County Limerick, Ireland
M
ost of us live on a continuum between shame and pride. Jung
points out that “shame is a soul-eating emotion.” Alternatively, pride can represent positive self-esteem and carry with it a constructive view of one’s self. During the course of this unique program—through presentations by Jungian analysts and the monks of Glenstal Abbey, as well as through dialogue and discussion—we will explore this complex theme together.

Shame & Pride—perhaps the most dominant emotions of the psyche. As Dr. Donald Nathanson, in his seminal book on shame and pride, has pointed out, the “very idea of shame is embarrassing to most people” and produces so much uneasiness that “we do whatever we can to avoid it.” On the other hand, positive pride in one’s self should, in Erich Neumann’s words, carry with it the affirmative feeling that “I am loved, cared for, and valued by others the way I am.” On a collective level, shame can create havoc. For example, among other factors, the humiliating conditions imposed on Germany following World War I proved fertile ground for the grandiose nationalism that helped set the stage for a maniacal demagogue to “make Germany great again.” Alternatively, it is also natural to feel authentic pride in one’s culture and country. We should feel pride in who we are and in what we accomplish. Feeling confident and productive in our work, helping others, and contributing what we can toward protecting the environment all enhance our self-esteem. On a personal level, it is important to feel proud of our relationships, our family, and our homes. Feeling gratified in our work and home life, feeling successful and confident: these things add up to making us feel secure and having a sense of pride. A different kind of pride can develop when it is excessive, when arrogance is present, or when narcissism is at play. Mario Jacoby calls this the “grandiose self.” This kind of pride goes hand in hand with denial, an inability for self-reflection, and leads to fooling ourselves. In literary terms, it is called hubris. This kind of pride, to which we attach too much importance in how others see us, is an over-identification with the archetype and often ends in disappointment, sadness, and even tragedy. As we mature, those around us—teachers, friends, partners, and even our children—contribute to our developing either pride or shame in ourselves. In this seminar, we will explore the vicissitudes of pride and shame in our culture, the collective, and in ourselves.

Aging with Panache: Later Life Is Now March 31–April 7, 2017 County Galway, Ireland
W
hat does it mean to age with panache? Often, it means being able to
enjoy life in real time, feeling grateful for the bounty in our lives and feeling positive in all we have accomplished. It means staying curious, vital, and active. We need not succumb to physical limitations that can be experienced as challenges rather than defeats.

In approaching later life, it is important to remember that “aging” is not a diagnosis. It is a time to develop new and hidden aspects of our personality and is a stage in our lives with the potential for profound creativity, vibrancy, and joy. It can be an opportunity to revisit old, or explore new, interests and do things for the pleasure and fun of it. As we age, we have choices: we can focus on loss, disappointment, and boredom. Or, we can transform this period into an exciting, personally rewarding, next phase in our lives. Part of this transformation requires embracing a new way to live and be in the world—one where we are open to the mystery of life. We can reassess and prioritize our interests and find passion in the leisure activities that we pursue. Later life is a wonderful time for weeding and pruning. It is a time when our work and the social connections that gave us status no longer need define us. Our friendships may be fewer but deeper, more intimate, and meaningful. Many of us can discover the joys of mentoring and the satisfaction of sharing our wisdom without the responsibilities and stress of our younger years. Later life should be a time when we can let go of the fear of the unknown. As we age, most of us come to realize that there is more to life than what we have experienced until now. We have choices: we can shrink from life, or enlarge it; focus on losses, or look at the potential gains and richness of this next phase of our lives. In this seminar, through a combination of presentations and experiential, smaller-group workshops, we will learn how “aging with panache” serves as a model to learn, change, be creative, and enjoy life to its fullest.
