October Jungian Somatics & Somatic Alchemy Training Program
As Jungian Studies Istanbul, we invite you to our “Jungian Somatics and Somatic Alchemy” event, which will take place on October 4-5-6 in Istanbul and on October 7-8 at the Asklepion in Pergamon.
The first part of our event will start in Istanbul, led by Jane Clapp and Berin Orhan, focusing on Jungian somatic studies and somatic alchemy. Our participants will explore the deep connections between body and mind, body and psyche.
The second part of the event will take place at the historical Asklepion in Pergamon. On October 7-8, we will stay in the mystical atmosphere of the ancient healing center and conduct in-depth studies on somatic healing and Jungian alchemy.
After our studies at the ancient Asklepion, we will move to Pissa Bay in Dikili for a beach event and picnic. We will relax in nature, relieve the fatigue of the event, and deepen our sharing with each other.
This unique experience will offer participants an unforgettable journey of transformation, including both theoretical knowledge and practical applications.
