An Archetypal Perspective on the Aging Process with Jungian Analyst, Michael Conforti, PhD
February 26, 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Intimations in the Night: An Archetypal Perspective on Psyche and Spirit in the Aging Process with Michael Conforti, Jungian Analyst
In our later years, many of us experience a profound lack of orientation. Perhaps our most meaningful early accomplishments begin to lose their luster, and those aspirations and dreams that once set our hearts on fire, are now eclipsed by new and strange emotions… unfulfilled desires suddenly emerging from the shadows.
The fires and passions of youth and the middle years are now reduced to smoldering embers… no longer warming our heart and soul.
The hunger for so much of what we wanted in life quickly fades into the domain of memory. Only the truly authentic intimations of this life begin calling us in our dreams, frustrations, symptoms, and cravings for what Rabbi Heschel calls the “ineffable.”
In the midst of a dark, wintry February, we welcome back the founder of the Assisi Institute, an internationally known Jungian scholar, Michael Conforti PhD.
Dr. Conforti will warm and enlighten us with teachings about archetypes, dreams, and literature – and the rich journey into our later years.
Bring your dreams.

A special invitation to two conferences offered by the Assisi Institute
“The Voice of Psyche in Clinical Practice” from June 2-6, 2025 in Giglio, Italy
Held on the picturesque island of Giglio in the Tuscan Archipelago, Dr Conforti speaks on the manifestation of Psyche and Archetypes within the therapeutic relationship, a domain within which wonder meets clinical wisdom. Together, with participants from around the world, we will delve into the beauty, suffering, and transformative potential of working with Psyche, while enhancing our understanding of archetypal dynamics.
“You Alone Are Real to Me, A Passion for Soul” from June 7-14, 2025 in Assisi, Italy
With presentations by our internationally recognized faculty including; Dr James Hollis, Dr. Conforti, Dr Richard Tarnas and Swiss Jungian Analysts, Dr Hansueli Etter and J. Duermuller, we will come to an even richer understanding of the need to bring Soul and passion back into our life. Here we will look at how Soul has called to us since the beginning of time, through archetypal images and emotions and why humanity has unknowingly turned from her gaze. Ultimately while the search for one’s Soul is a solitary journey, to do this with reflection from someone who cares so deeply about us is more than sublime.
