SUMMARY:Moon Goddess' Symbolism\, Ancient and Modern
DESCRIPTION:Moon Goddess’ Symbolism\, Ancient and Modern\nPresented by\nS
 heherezad Shashaani\, MA\nSunday\, 3:30 PM - 6:00 PM\, February 19th\, 201
 7\n(this program was not recorded)\nSince time immemorial\, mankind’s fa
 scination with the mysterious light of the night sky has functioned as a g
 ateway to the spiritual and imaginal realm\, thereby expanding human consc
 iousness and bringing meaning to human experiences. The multifaceted symbo
 lic representations of the moon played a decisive role in the initiation r
 ites of the Ancient Ones. It also gave them a meaningful access to the rea
 lm of the feminine Eros and Lunar consciousness. By studying the symbolic/
 psychological meaning and purpose of these rituals\, C.G. Jung discovered 
 their potential to operate as a pathway into the depths of human conscious
 ness where the ultimate solution to human suffering resides. He did this b
 y identifying the similarity between the primordial images that appeared i
 n the psyche of his patients and himself and those he had discovered in an
 cient texts. In this way\, Jung unearthed a pattern that when looked at sy
 mbolically offered an empirical approach to healing human suffering which 
 he named the individuation process.\nSheherezad will share a series of her
  painted dreams and visions related to the Moon Goddess\, demonstrating th
 e striking similarities between the ancient Mesopotamian and modern symbol
 s. An understanding of their symbolic meaning can point our way to the mys
 tery as it did for our ancestors.\nCourse objectives:\nDemonstrate a strik
 ing similarity between ancient Mesopotamian and modern symbols.\nPortray a
 n initiation process through a moon experience.\nUnderstand the relationsh
 ip between dream world and creative imagination.\nDemonstrate the religiou
 s attitude towards the symbols of the collective unconscious.\nSheherezad 
 Shashaani\, M.A.\, is a Jungian oriented psychotherapist practicing in San
 ta Monica and Irvine. Born in Iran\, she came to the U.S. in 1969. Since t
 hen\, she has traveled between her native land and the U.S.\, earning an M
 .A. in Counseling Psychology with emphasis on Depth Psychology from Pacifi
 ca Graduate Institute. Her interest in Jungian psychology and the image-pr
 oducing function of the psyche led her to travel extensively through her n
 ative land\, study Persian mythology\, and write her thesis on the ancient
  Persian Moon Goddess Anahita.
