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, 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! —Aryeh Maidenbaum and Diana Rubin, Directors, New York Center for Jungian Studies

NEED & GREED
WHAT IS ENOUGH? A Program with the Monks of Glenstal Abbey April 1–7, 2019 County Limerick, Ireland Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed. —Mahatma Gandhi
A
t what point does enough turn into too much—personally and collectively? And at what point
do we draw the line between need and greed? When does taking care of our need for comfort and security become greed? Can we ever be content? Can we ever feel as though we have enough? Can the search and need for meaning and spirituality serve as an antidote to greed? In the course of our week together, in dialogue and discussion with thoughtful and outstanding Jungian analysts and the erudite and psychologically sophisticated monks of Glenstal Abbey, we will explore the nuances and meaning of an issue that we face on both collective and personal levels—the tipping point between need and greed. Photo: Adare Castle, sited on the north bank of the River Maigue, is regarded as a fine example of the medieval fortified castle in Ireland and is one of a number of outstanding castles situated in County Limerick.

The Program I have something he will never have: Enough. —Joseph Heller
T
here is a collective undercurrent in our society that tells us that we should always strive for more than what we have—there can never be enough! What does it take for us to feel secure and comfortable in our lives? How many go shopping or surf the Internet rather than
spending time in a more meaningful and fulfilling way? What are our priorities and values? Is acquiring material goods more important than our spiritual life, furthering our education, involvement in humanitarian works, protecting the environment, or even just spending time with family or friends?
We live in an era of excess. Our closets and homes are filled with things that we don’t use or need; yet we keep collecting more. Every day, there is a sale that we “can’t afford to miss,” and we hoard things that we might need “someday.” We live our lives serving the gods of consumerism. An example of this can be seen in the bargain-hunting ritual known as “Black Friday,” which has created chaos and mayhem—at one point, leading to a man being trampled to death by shoppers at a Walmart. The mall and shopping center have become a cultural phenomenon. The greed at the corporate level seems to have no upper limits. Mergers, mega-acquisitions, identity thefts, scams, and white-collar crimes have reached alarming levels. Finally, for some, the constant need for power, love, and attention from others is another form of greed. Perhaps the world would be a better place if all of us could realize what our needs should be: attending to our inner, spiritual lives, appreciating nature, and finding meaning and contentment in our work, play, and—most important—our relationships. 4 • registration & information: 845-256-0191 • nyjungcenter.org

Accommodations
Program Setting
Located in the heart of County Limerick, just 30 minutes from Shannon airport, Adare is the gateway to the southwest of Ireland, bordering the counties of Kerry, Cork, Clare, and Tipperary. Adare village is an architectural wealth of scenic beauty. The village offers beautiful stone buildings, medieval monasteries, ruins, and a picturesque village park. The streets are lined with the original thatched cottages that were built in the 1820s by Lord Dunraven—many of them now restaurants and shops.
Situated in the heart of Adare, one of Ireland’s prettiest villages, the Dunraven Arms, established in 1792, is a deluxe, old-world hotel with impeccable service and authentic Irish ambiance. Its comfortable bedrooms are tastefully furnished with charming antiques. It also houses an award-winning restaurant, as well as a health and leisure center, which includes an indoor heated pool. Surrounded by picturesque thatched cottages and within easy walking distance of shops, parks, pubs, restaurants, and historic sites, the Dunraven Arms is an ideal base for our program and only a 25-minute taxi ride from Shannon airport.
Glenstal Abbey, home to a community of monks (many renowned scholars among them), is a Benedictine monastery on the southwest coast of Ireland. It sits on over 300 acres, with streams, lakes, woodland paths, and an enchanting walled garden. Surrounding a castle built in the romantic Norman style, the Abbey houses a worldfamous collection of Russian icons and one of the most important private libraries in Ireland, with a substantial collection of antiquarian books (many dating back to the fifteenth century) on Irish history, Irish literature, biography, and art.

FACING MORTALITY: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN April 8–15, 2019 Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. —Joseph Cambell.
W
hen we were young, we believed that we would live forever and concerned ourselves only with the here and now. As older adults, we sometimes find it difficult to live in the present, for fear of what lies ahead. Worries about finances, retirement, loss of loved ones, illness, and diminished mental or physical faculties may permeate our psyches every day. To compensate for our feelings of helplessness, we might push ourselves into more and more activities—some of them meaningless. We might even start compulsively compiling “bucket lists” in the fear that it might be too late to experience everything we have wanted to do in our lives—when we could be focusing more on meaning than on matter.
Photo: Enniskillen Castle, situated beside the River Erne in County Fermanagh, was built almost 600 years ago by Gaelic Maguires. Guarding one of the few passes into Ulster, it was strategically important throughout its history. This historic site houses two museums: Fermanagh County Museum and the Inniskillings Museum. registration & information: 845-256-0191 • nyjungcenter.org • 11
Program A man who lives fully is prepared to die anytime —Mark Twain
T
he uncertainty of dealing with serious illness and death creates an existential anxiety in most of us. Many of us have a tendency to march through life in denial of the ephemeral aspects of our lives. We may lose
sight of the tasks and soul-work that are a necessary part of our individuation as we age. The question of what happens after death has been pondered since the dawn of civilization. Is there a soul journey after we die? Is there life after death? In most cultures and religions, this question is central to the belief system; indeed, the mystery of what happens after we die intrigues us all. In this regard, it is important that we not see death as a disease but rather as a part of the life cycle. No vitamins, exercise classes, elixirs, or plastic surgery can keep us from leaving this planet when it is our time. As we grow older, we need to connect to our inner life—the part that provides meaning and feeds one’s soul. For, in Jung’s words, “life that is senselessly wasted and misdirected means death, too. This may account for the unnatural intensification of the fear of death in our time, when life has lost its deeper meaning for so many people, forcing them to exchange the life-preserving rhythm of the eons for the dread ticking of the clock.” During the course of our weeklong Seminar, through a combination of presentations and experiential workshops, we will explore the fear of the unknown, the taboo topic of death and dying, and how different civilizations envision life after death.

Welcome to Enniskillen, County Fermanagh Location County Fermanagh, a largely rural county in the southwest of Northern Ireland, is known for its numerous lakes, including Lough (Irish for river) Erne, with its 154 islands and countless coves and inlets. Fermanagh is rich in remnants of its long history — from stone carved tombs to early Christian relics and through a successon of ruling dynasties and clans. The delightful town of Enniskillen, medieval seat of the Maguire clan, is situated on one of the Lough Erne islands and is a short drive from our seminar site. The town features many old-style pubs, restaurants, interesting shops, and rows of picturesque red brick Georgian flats. An optional luncheon cruise provides an opportunity to see more of the spectacular lakeland scenery.
Accommodations & Seminar Site Our home for the week will be the Lough Erne Resort, a five-star, deluxe hotel nestled on a 600-acre peninsula with spectacular views of the Fermanagh Lakelands. Renowned for its magnificent setting that frames the natural beauty of the entire region, the resort is considered one of the finest hotels in Ireland. Chosen as the location for the 2013 G-8 conference, the resort combines warm, friendly, and excellent service with luxurious facilities, including a state-ofthe-art health club, world-class Thai-inspired spa, and indoor swimming pool. With many rooms overlooking the lake, its spacious, well-appointed accommodations are a tasteful blend of old-world heritage with contemporary facilities in the style of an Irish country estate.
Meals Meals are wonderful times to get to know one another and interact with presenters. Gourmet meals and outstanding Irish service await us. Each day begins with a hearty, full Irish breakfast, complemented by a wide selection of fresh fruit, local Irish cheeses, and freshly baked breads. Our breaks feature freshly brewed coffee, traditional Irish and herbal teas, and justbaked scones. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday, we will lunch together at the elegant Lough Erne Resort, where we will also enjoy festive gourmet opening and closing dinners. For meals on our own, several restaurants are on site and in nearby Enniskillen, which boasts a multitude of restaurants, pubs, and cafés.
