Sacred Tibetan PilgrimageTrek to the
Kingdom of Mustang in Nepal
August 22nd – September 8th 2016
with Jungian Analyst Deborah Bryon Ph.D
and Intrepid Travel
Cost $3890 ($100 Discount if paid before May 1st)
It has been said that the ancient ones conserved power in holy places for the good of humanity. Time on our planet is speeding up. Change in the nature of our world is occurring and the old sacred lineages are dying. Join us on an eighteen‐day trek into the remote land of the Himalayas, to learn about the ancient ways and Tibetan traditions in the former Kingdom of Lo. We will explore the holy lands of Mustang tucked away on the windswept plateau in the Himalayas, between northwest Nepal and Tibet. The past kingdom of Lo is one of the few remote Tibetan regions remaining in the world today. In Mustang, the 4,000‐year‐old Buddhist traditions and culture were closed to outsiders until 1991. Many in Mustang still believe the world is flat. On our journey, we will sit in ceremony in Tibetan
Buddhist monasteries and connect with the spirit of the land that
has been referred to by some as the navel of the world. Each day
will begin in meditation, exploring our dreams and setting
intention. The evenings will finish in ritual and ceremony.

Mr. Miari and an analyst member of PAJA/Philadelphia Jung Institute. Ibrahim Miari is a theater artist and educator. A graduate of Boston
University's MFA in Theater Education program, Ibrahim is originally from Israel where he performed with the Acco Theatre Center Ensemble

The passing of Julia McAfee
October 9, 1918 - March 2, 2016
Julia McAfee, 97, died peacefully Wednesday morning, March 2, at the Carol Woods Retirement Community in Chapel Hill, N.C. She was the
widow of James Byington McAfee and the daughter of Edmund Randolph Preston and Julia Jackson Christian Preston. A brother, Thomas Jackson Preston, of
Silver Spring, Md., survives her, as do her three children, James McAfee (Deirdra) of Richmond, Va.; Julia McAfee Cissel (Spike) of Jacksonville Beach,
Fla.; and Dr. Randolph Preston McAfee (Kristin) of San Marino, Cal.; seven grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Few people knew Julia was the
great-granddaughter of Stonewall Jackson
Julia McAfee grew up in Charlotte, N.C., and Washington, D.C. She attended Salem College and George Washington University. Her early years
were chock-full of fascinating experiences—sharing a carriage with Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland at the Washington premiere of "Gone With the
Wind," being a guinea pig in J. B. Rhine's parapsychology experiments at Duke, double-dating with Walker Percy, and carpooling with Felix Frankfurter to
her job at the Supreme Court during wartime gas rationing—and she devoted her adult years to friends, family, and community in Columbia, S.C., Riverside,
Conn., and Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., became an accomplished artist, and traveled the world with her husband.
In the early 1970s, Julia completed college. In addition to graduate study in Mexico and New York, she earned a master's degree in counseling and
psychology. Her volunteer work at an adolescent inpatient facility, combined with long experience as an artist, sparked an interest in art therapy. She observed
art's power to help patients, particularly those who choked up on words, identify and clarify their real feelings. She also realized that art therapy could help
diagnose and predict behavior problems and head off crises.
Already drawn to Carl Jung's approach to the unconscious as the fertile seedbed of art and imagination, Julia moved to Zurich after her husband's
death in 1977 to study at the Jung Institute. She earned her diploma as a Jungian analyst in 1982.
Returning to Florida, she and three other women opened a private center devoted to art therapy, often using sand trays, in which analysands choose
and arrange figurines in tableaux. She also worked at a private psychiatric hospital in Jacksonville as well as seeing analysands in her office. She continued to
paint, draw, and sketch, and encouraged her analysands to do the same.
Julia conducted training workshops around the country for mental-health professionals and published and lectured internationally on the vampire archetype
and related topics. Julia, a great-granddaughter of General Stonewall Jackson, also pondered her heritage and her region, as a woman and a therapist, in
"Living the Legacy of the South," published in 2000 in Salt Journal.
At Carol Woods, Julia co-founded the Art Committee, with her good friend the late Jean Parish, and supported its programs enthusiastically. Julia
was sunny and glamorous, a woman of great style, vivacity, intellect, and wit. In her last years—occasionally fortified with a dozen or more raw oysters and a
bottle of Guinness—she bore the assaults and indignities of old age with grace and good cheer.
The passing of Crittenden Brookes
Dr. Crittenden E. Brookes died unexpectedly at home on February 27, 2016. Crit, as he was known by family and friends, was born in
Oakland and grew up in Paradise, CA. He graduated from Stanford University with a Ph.D. and M.D. and was a San Francisco psychoanalyst for
over fifty years. He taught at UCSF and the C.G. Jung Institute, was a fellow of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry,
was a life fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a member of the Interregional Society of Jungian Analysts, a member of the International
Association for Analytic Psychology, contributed extensively in his field, and served in the military.
He is survived by his wife of 36 years Mauna Berkov, his children Jesse Brookes, Lisa Kift and her husband Cecil, Aaron Brookes and his
wife Allison, and his grandchildren Ryder Brookes, Logan Brookes and Cooper Kift. His son Jedidiah Brookes died in 2004. He is also survived by
his sister Patricia Brookes, her husband John Troutman, her children Megan Dyer and husband Jon, Valerie Newman and husband Lee Rumaner, and
their children Alison and Patricia Dyer and Max, Anna and Jane Rumaner. In addition, Dr. Brookes is survived by his brother-in-law, Jerel Berkov
and wife Mary.
Dr. Brookes was an avid photographer, nature lover, and black belt in Aikido. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

Boulder Jung Seminar
The Alchemical Summer Intensive
SPLENDOR SOLIS
Joe McNair, Jungian Analyst
“I am the way and even road,
Who passes here without rest,
Will find a goodly life abode,
And in the end…be ever blessed.”
The Alchemists work on a Matter, which they hold to be at once
Alive and Sacred, and in their labors they pursue the
transformation of Matter, its perfection and its transmutation.
The Splendor Solis (1582) was a bridge between the Rosarium
(1550) and the Rosicrucian period. It is a beautiful and ornate
presentation of late 16th Century that gave rise to a wide menu
of illuminated works.
The Splendor Solis shows us the TRANSFORMATIVE
PROCESSES involving the INCARNATION OF SPIRIT INTO
MATTER through the process of DEATH and REBIRTH.
Beautifully depicted in 22 plates is the process and main
problem of Incarnation of outer illuminations that will become
inner realities in the Matter of one’s own psychology.

Messages from the Heart
I wanted you to know that I am very
concerned that we are having the fall meeting
in the state of NC which at this moment has
passed a terrible law against the LGBT
population. Unless it is rescinded, I cannot
imagine supporting the state with our fall
meeting, and I will be questioning my
attendance. This all may be impossible to
change, but it is a major concern for me, and I
am assuming for others.
Thank you for listening.

“Homage to all that is healing
in a person’s life,
in traditions,
and in the world.
Homage to all that is healing
in the lives of saints and sages,
in this practice,
and in my own mind,
and

in the immediate community of support,
and in our positive motivations.
Many many bright blessings on you and yours.
May all beings benefit.”
