SUMMARY:Follow the Bouncing Ball: Sports and The Psyche
DESCRIPTION:Follow the Bouncing Ball:\nSports and The Psyche\nwith\nBernard
  Michals\, LCSW\nSunday\, 4 PM - 6 PM\, September 27th\, 2009\n(this progr
 am was not recorded)\n\nGame and sports (particularly sports that include 
 a ball) have been a human leisure activity for thousands of years. For exa
 mple the Mayan Ball Game was played 3\,000 years ago. The Egyptians played
  a form of Bocce with polished rocks. Contemporary sports and ball games a
 re intimately woven into the daily life of popular culture.\nGame and spor
 t can bring ecstasy and self-fulfillment or can catapult us into darkness 
 and depression. Why are we so drawn to the experience of game? Where is th
 e boundary between the outer game and our inner life? How does the process
  of projection and experience of the witness relate to game and ball? Can 
 we understand the experience of ball and game as what Jung calls "the reli
 gious instinct"? Why is the ball so compelling?\nThis lecture will examine
  the fact that game is in the objective psyche. Using individual dreams\, 
 active imagination and pictures we will circumambulate the inner reality a
 nd symbolism of ball and game.\nBernard Michals\, LCSW is a Jungian analys
 t in private practice in Solana Beach. He is the former president and a fo
 unding member of the C.G. Jung Study Center of Southern California. Curren
 tly he is Coordinator of Analyst Training at the Study Center. He has lect
 ured in the past on "The Learning Disabled Psyche"\, on dreams\, and activ
 e imagination.
