Dreamwork, New Orleans and Mandeville
 New Orleans and Mandeville now host monthly analyst-led dream groups and are looking to expand. The first Mandeville dream group organized by analyst Constance Romero is full, but she is starting a second group in late January or early February. There are currently four slots left in the second group, which will meet at Connie’s office at 800 Jackson Avenue in old Mandeville. If you’re interested in participating, contact Connie at 985-778-1641 or by e-mail at romeroce4@aol.com.
In New Orleans, analyst Karen Gibson’s previous New Orleans dream group has concluded and she is forming another with plans to meet from January to June, 2010. The group will meet in Broadmoor on the third Sunday of each month from 4:30 to 6:30 pm; fee is $180 for the six-month session. If you’re interested in joining, contact Karen at 504-821-5567 or by e-mail at gibsonkphd@hotmail.com.
Monthly Reading Group, New Orleans
 Though her Jungian study groups were temporarily derailed while she had surgery, analyst Deldon McNeely has recouped and has resumed her monthly reading group in New Orleans. The group will be reading Edward Edinger’s classic volume Ego and Archetype, which focuses on the symbolism of religion and the individual journey to wholeness. Del’s group meets once a month, usually on Monday from 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm at Parker. The fee is whatever you can afford up to $20. Del says that she missed a few calls in the aftermath of surgery and would like to include all who are interested, so if you’d like to join her New Orleans group, give her a call at 757-721-2379 or e-mail her at earthlovr@earthlink.net.

The newly-formed Archetypal Theatre Company will sponsor an April 17, 2010, staged reading of playwright Armando Nascimento Rosa’s one-act play, Mary of Magdala: A Gnostic Fable, followed by a panel discussion of the play and book launch party.
Armando Nascimento Rosa’s one-act play, Mary of Magdala, is set in 54 A.D. in Marseille, where Mary and her followers run an underground railroad in the form of an inn for Christians escaping religious persecution. The play draws upon dissident Christian legend, the Gnostic Gospel of Mary, and the Nag Hammadi to portray the clash taking place between the official dogmatism overtaking the fledgling church and the alternative religious experience at the roots of Christendom, personified in Mary of Magdala. The play encourages the experience of what Rosa describes as a hermetically based, non-dualistic “Gnostic Theatre,” where both actor and audience are engaged in a transformative process that may act as a form of therapy for both.
A panel discussion will follow the staged reading by the newly formed Archetypal Theatre Company under the direction of Jungian analyst Constance Romero. Panel members include British Jung scholar Susan Rowland and Armando Nascimento Rosa, currently Portugal’s most awarded playwright and professor of theatre and playwriting in the College of Theatre and Film in Lisbon, as well as Glenda Cloughley, Nancy Qualls-Corbett, Bradley TePaske, Deldon McNeely, David Schoen, Karen Gibson, Marilyn Marshall, Blanche Gray and director Constance Romero. The reading and panel discussion will coincide with Spring Journal Books’ publication of Armando Rosa’s Mary of Magdala play and Susan Rowland’s latest book, C. G. Jung in the Humanities: Taking the Soul’s Path, and a book release party will follow. For information and reservations, please contact 985-892-1534.
Classes
 Analyst Marilyn Marshall, M.A., LPC, has been busy with two classes, a year-long class on “Understanding Jung” that’s based at Parker as well as a sandplay group which met over the fall. She’s considering continuing the sandplay class as well as starting a dream group, and she may also teach another course that looks at Jung’s work through myths, fairy tales and film. If you’d like to be on her list for the next group, contact Marilyn at 504-236-0735 or by e-mail at marilynjmarshall@gmail.com. Marilyn will also present a program on “The Kiss in Dreams” for the Baton Rouge Jung Society in March. Contact Oneal Isaac at oneal_isaac@yahoo.com for more information.
