SUMMARY:The Night-Sea Voyage of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner:  The Circuito
 us Journey of Individuation
DESCRIPTION:The Night-Sea Voyage of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner:\nThe Circu
 itous Journey of Individuation\nPresented by\nThomas Elsner\, J.D. M.A.\nF
 riday\, 8:00 PM\, May 18th\, 2007\nSamuel Taylor Coleridge\, one of Englan
 d's great romantic poets\, wrote "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" at the 
 age of 25\, before he had ever set foot on a ship. Inspiried by a dream in
  which a spectre-ship sailed out of the setting sun\, the poem is itself a
  vision and a projected symbolic self-portrait of the poet's deepest psych
 ological make up. Yet\, because it reaches down into the depths of the psy
 che\, it is also a vivid description of the collective unconscious\, and o
 ne which we can understand today as descriptive of the process of individu
 ation. Somewhat like Goethe's Faust\, which was a huge influence on Jung\,
  The Ancient Mariner is a myth of the modern West\, describing its problem
 s and hinting at solutions to those problems\, problems which concern all 
 of us today—the destruction of the symbolic life\, encounter with the sh
 adow\, and the re-emergence of the archetypal Feminine. The tension betwee
 n the individual and the collective is also an important theme: how can we
  integrate the individual truths of the heart into the traditions and coll
 ective structures in which we live? Coleridge's poem\, "one of the few gre
 at symbolic poems" according to British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes\, has muc
 h to say to those of us who are living through such themes and questions i
 n our own lives.\nThomas Elsner\, J.D. M.A. is a certified Jungian Analyst
  who trained in Switzerland at the Centre for Depth Psychology according t
 o C.G. Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz. He is currently a faculty member a
 t the C.G. Jung Study Center of Southern California and a certified Psycho
 analyst with the California Med. Board. He has a private practice in Santa
  Barbara.
