Jung, Integral, Archetypes – remember self

During this day event delegates will get exposed to the interplay of ICF-accredited coaching methodology, informed by Jungian theory. Various modalities such as gestalt work and expressive arts will be used in the session. The process will allow delegates to crystallise rich experiences and illustrate the powerful impact of concepts line individuation, archetypes and storytelling on leadership functioning. A video of Dr Avi Goren-Bar will introduce the method while accredited Jungian coaches the Jungian Coaching School Africa will illustrate how they use coaching to support leaders in organisations to perform. Through storytelling it will become clear how rich insights can provide material for the coach to support his coachee to deal with their dilemma presented. Goren-Bar explains that this approach fills the organization’s culture with feminine elements such as expressing feelings, containment, tolerance and nurturing and encourages while stimulating original initiatives it will bond the individual to the collective.

The difference between facilitation and Jungian thought is in its archetypal knowledge. Our acquired understanding of the psychodynamic contents of the archetypes involved in a particular dilemma provides us with a behavioral formula for how to coach our trainee towards achieving the expected skills or changes targeted.

Another helpful source agent for change is the adoption of non-rational thinking and the use of symbols and images. Most trainees, as most people, look for problem solving in domains they are accustomed to, in past solutions, available capacities, or the near and familiar environment. Non rational thinking (as known to us from mythologies, particularly the Greek mythology) challenges the trainee to dare to bring up ideas, wishes, desires and fantasies in the range of the unbelievable, unexpected and even forbidden realm. By moving through the knowing to the unconscious material – true alchemy may happen.
By working with the deep principles of alchemy – and correlating that to individuation through storytelling, myth and fairytale; deep insights into patterns may be experienced.
