SUMMARY:The Alchemy of Sheepherding
DESCRIPTION:The Alchemy of Sheepherding\nPresented by\nHolly J. Fincher\, P
 hD\nSunday\, 4 PM - 6 PM\, December 4th\, 2016\n(this program was not reco
 rded)\nOf course sheepherding is not\, in itself\, alchemical! Rather\, it
  is an exercise of managing and manipulating instincts through an interpla
 y between sheep\, dog and handler. In truth\, however\, any activity one u
 ndertakes can be the containing catalyst for a symbolic alchemical process
 \, so long as the right conscious attitude is achieved within the lived ex
 perience. In a lighthearted mood\, this presentation will explore the basi
 cs of sheepherding and share some of the personal experiences the presente
 r has encountered with her own sheepdog and sheepherding activities. Then\
 , through the reflective lens of this material\, we will explore the deep 
 meaning of symbolic alchemy and Jung’s theory of individuation as it is 
 revealed to us through careful consideration of the examples at hand. Sorr
 y\, no sheep or sheepdogs will be present. Instead\, they will guide us th
 rough our understanding and time together in spirit!\nCourse objectives:\n
 Understand the history of symbolic alchemy in context with analytical psyc
 hology.\nUnderstand the use of alchemical metaphor in clinical practice in
  relationship to instinct.\nTranslate metaphor into psychological meaning 
 using the lens of the everyday life example of sheepherding.\nLearn the ro
 le of instinct in analytical process.\nHolly J. Fincher\, PhD\, is a Jungi
 an analyst and clinical psychologist in private practice. Her life and wor
 k are committed to the understanding of C.G. Jung’s psychology in contex
 t with the reality of the objective psyche\, and this approach is reflecte
 d in her work as an analyst\, teacher and writer. A California native\, Ho
 lly currently resides near her ancestral roots in rural New Hampshire wher
 e\, in balance with her ongoing research and practice\, a growing flock of
  sheep and a border collie named Maat keep her grounded and busy with some
  of life’s additional realities.
