About the Host
Barbara Helen Miller, Ph.D., is a psychoanalyst (C. G. Jung) in private practice, a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, Training Analyst for IAAP in Tbilisi Georgia; anthropologist in co-operation with Research Group Circumpolar Cultures, her research a case study on Sámi healers in Porsanger, Norway. Many of her publications attempt to bring analytical psychology and shamanism into fruitful dialogue.
School of Active Imagination
C.G. Jung approaches the process of mediating, transitioning, and transforming inner experience through a dialectic, found, a.o., in active imagination. Such dialectic may include other narratives (myths and fairytales) from the analyst’s repertoire, these narratives for the most part being held in mind during and after the session and comprising the analyst’s associative thinking.
Theme for school year (2026-2027), Joint Attention: work with the affective core of the Self and formation of creation myths. Joint attention is the shared focus of two individuals on an object, event, or scene, often involving eye contact, gesturing (like pointing), and emotional sharing. The social-cognitive model of joint attention proposes that, as infants monitor and represent their own goal-related intentional activity, they also monitor and represent the goal-related behavior of others.
Fairytale Salon: Fairytales, Myths and Dreams viewed as archetypal narratives employed by C G Jung.
Forum for Process: Alchemy and process theology, a.o., viewed as archetypal narratives on process employed by C G Jung.
