The individuation process is a term used by Carl Gustav Jung to describe the process of becoming inwardly whole, discovering one’s true self, beyond the mask of the persona and ego-centered life. Individuation generally has a profound healing effect on the person. It is a process that allows us to be our most creative and to fulfil the soul’s deepest desire.
Our busy lives sometimes hinder our growth towards wholeness as the stress reduces our cognitive functioning and emotional intelligence. Work-Life Balance is essential in reducing stress and allowing the process of growth and individuation to occur. We will explore how research has suggested some ‘best practices’ that can help us to prevent stress and improve resilience so that we can function at our best. We will look at these practices and some suggestions Jung gave us on how to facilitate our own growth and individuation.

Research regarding optimal human personal development has identified specific steps regarding this form of growth process experienced in one way or another by all humans. In an opposite vein, the research regarding the human deficiencies and dysfunctions we want to overcome indicates these crippling factors are individualised, not experienced by all, and are dependent on nature (our inborn cognitive preferences) and our nurture. This session will broadly outline dysfunctions typical for each psychological type and the overarching steps involved in optimal growth. It will then set about, by group discussion, to explore our individual lived experiences in this process.

Growth/Development Experiences – Transcending our ‘Risks’with Alex MacFarlane
This online interactive facilitation is also part group discussion and information-giving workshop. It explores components that assist in attaining a deeper shift into self-transformation, wellness, and thriving. Self-transformation/maturation/personal development research has demonstrated that this process has components to it that are both specific for specific types as well as components that are more general across types. This session will focus upon ways and means we have overcome some of our “risks” inherited via both nature (type and temperament) and nurture. It will focus upon two overarching questions:
1. What have seemed to be my ‘Risks’ and how have I matured in overcoming or managing them?
2. What experiences….circumstances or events in my life have been catalysts to growth?
