The Inner World of Relationships

Lecture: Friday 27th February, 7:30pm

Complexes and Projections within the Couple

Based on both Jung‟s writings and on intercultural aspects of the couple, the lecture gives an introduction to the symbolic life experienced by a couple. The seminar then focuses on the complexes and projections which happen to every couple and how to transform them into energetic impulses for an improved relationship. All are welcome.

Seminar: Saturday 28th February, 10:00am to 4:00pm

How to Work With Couples

Based on both C. G. Jung‟s typology and E. Wartegg‟s Picture of Emotional Awareness, this seminar will enable interested people to work with couples using this methodology. Participants will receive a booklet offering the basic structures of this work, and will be led through the entire process following the principle of „learning by doing‟. All, as well as professionals in the field, are welcome at this event.

Parkdale United Church (Auditorium) 2919 8th Avenue NW, Calgary

Advance tickets available at the Annual General Meeting (January 23, 7:30 pm, same location) and for in-person purchase only at Self Connection book stores (www.selfconnection.ca ). Tickets will also be available at the door.

The focus of the lecture is the couple; the focus of the workshop is working with couples and here typology comes in: Dr. Evers will guide the participants step by step through the work and use his own form of testing, the typology of which is based on Myers-Briggs (typology) and Keirsey (temperament). The participants will get all this in the form of a booklet.
