SUMMARY:Pantheon of Paradoxes:  Archetypal Imagery in the Ancient Egyptian
  Pantheon
DESCRIPTION:Pantheon of Paradoxes:\n\nArchetypal Imagery in the Ancient Egy
 ptian Pantheon\n\nPresented by\nJacqueline Thurston\, MA\n\nSunday\, Octob
 er 18\, 2020\, 4:00 - 6:00 pm PT\n\nlink to video\n\nArtists are drawn to 
 Jungian concepts because these concepts illuminate their personal working 
 experience with the creative process. Jung’s understanding of synchronic
 ity\, the intersection between the inner world of dreams and the imaginati
 on and the outer physical world\, and his exploration of cultural and pers
 onal archetypal imagery\, inform and guide this presentation. The ideas an
 d the images in the presentation are drawn from Thurston’s Sacred Deitie
 s of Ancient Egypt\, illustrated with 185 of her photographs. As a Fulbrig
 ht Scholar\, Thurston had access to many tombs traditionally closed to the
  public. The memorable nature of the photographs\, many of which have neve
 r before been reproduced\, springs from the personal vision in these intim
 ate\, interpretive photographic portraits of the deities.\n\nThe richly il
 lustrated presentation will explore the archetypal nature of the divine fe
 minine and the divine masculine with attention to the presence of dualitie
 s and opposites contained within a single deity and to the role that parad
 ox plays in the dynamic relationships between individual deities. Our cont
 emporary interest in gender and identity makes the exploration of the attr
 ibutes of both feminine and masculine deities in the ancient Egyptian pant
 heon intriguing\, informative\, and relevant. To create a bridge between o
 ur contemporary world and the world of an earlier civilization\, the prese
 ntation will explore how the vicissitudes of nature\, like the pandemic th
 rough which we are living\, shaped the very essence of the gods of ancient
  Egypt. Finally\, this presentation provides a rare opportunity to ask new
  questions about the inherent nature of archetypal imagery that formed the
  bedrock of a civilization that spanned more than three thousand years—a
  mythology that differs dramatically from our Greco-Roman heritage.\n\nLea
 rning objectives:\n\nGive examples of how the archetypal nature of the div
 ine feminine and the divine masculine in the pantheon of ancient Egypt can
  manifest in psychotherapy.\n\nIdentify examples of the fusion of animal a
 nd human form in the gods or goddesses in the Egyptian pantheon and how th
 is metaphor can present in psychotherapy.\n\nDescribe examples of how anim
 al dreams inspired by the masculine and feminine deities in the Egyptian p
 antheon might support psychotherapeutic goals.\n\nJacqueline Thurston\, MA
 \, is an artist\, writer\, and Professor Emerita in the School of Art and 
 Design at San Jose State University\, where she taught for over forty year
 s. She is twice the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Photogr
 aphy Fellowship and was a Fulbright Scholar to Egypt. Her first artist’s
  book was purchased by the Library of Congress for its Rare Book Collectio
 n. Thurston’s photographs are in major national and international museum
  collections\, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\; the Libr
 ary of Congress\; the International Museum of Photography\; the Bibliothè
 que Nationale\, France\; and the Bibliothéque Alexandria\, Egypt.
