The Great Work of Alchemy: A Journey of Transformation
Presented by Gita Morena, Ph.D., L.M.F.T.
In this seminar, the alchemical transmutation of base metals is explored symbolically and historically as a metaphor for the individuation process. The stages of the transformation process are delineated, from the dross of the prima materia to the gold of self-discovery. Attendees will gain insights into how alchemical principles can be applied to modern psychological practices and personal growth.
Learning objectives:
- Describe the key concepts of alchemy.
- Describe the nature of alchemical operations.
- Identify the psychological aspects of alchemical processes.
- Explain how alchemy relates to the individuation process.
Gita Morena, Ph.D., L.M.F.T., is a certified Jungian analyst, an STA/ISST sandplay therapist-teacher, and a research editor for the Journal of Sandplay Therapy. She has led trainings and seminars worldwide and published numerous articles about sandplay therapy. Her book, The Wisdom of Oz: Reflections of a Jungian Sandplay Psychotherapist, explores her great grandfather’s story, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as a tale of psychological individuation and spiritual awakening. She is particularly interested in the mind-body-spirit connection and incorporates a Buddhist perspective to address core psychological and emotional healing issues. Dr. Morena works in Santa Monica, California, and offers in-person and remote sessions for Jungian analysis, sandplay process, and case consultation.
