This ongoing series will provide a forum for discussion of the archetypal feminine in contemporary culture. Using film as the medium, our purpose is to activate our authentic visions and voices, and to access deeper layers of our personal experience. The films in our first series, The Interior Life: Breakthrough and Transformation, demonstrate how a seemingly minor event in a woman’s life, whether internal or external, can shake the security of the known and allow the fugitive, inner feeling-life to break through into consciousness. How we engage in this upheaval determines whether we are victims of our fate, or co-creators of our destiny. We will develop a discussion around the archetypal structure of these films and link the symbolic to our personal, psychological experience.
In the first film in our series, Barbara is a doctor who has been transferred from Berlin to a small country hospital as punishment for seeking an exit visa from East Germany. In a state of high alert, Barbara secretly plans an escape with her Western lover, while warily keeping her distance, especially from a watchful young doctor with secrets of his own. But as the day of her escape approaches, Barbara starts to lose control – over herself, her plans and her feelings, and begins to question the nature of freedom itself.
Discussion leaders: Diane Fremont and Cindy Poorbaugh are Jungian Analysts in private practice in New York City.

The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS) is a pictorial and written archive of mythological, ritualistic, and symbolic images from all over the world and from all epochs of human history. The collection probes the universality of archetypal themes and provides a testament to the deep and abiding connections that unite the disparate factions of the human family.
