Spontaneous Storytelling and Free Drinks Night
The Layover, Oakland

Free
Finally, a storytelling event where the point is to meet each other. At this brand-new, participatory event, you’ll have a chance to get to know each other as well as listen to real-life stories without notes or scripts. Tell your friends, bring a girlfriend or a wingman, and come on down to The Layover for Spontaneous Storytelling from 6:30-8:30 pm on the 2nd Saturday of the month.
An optional icebreaker game will seduce you into talking and mingling with the other people here. Then, you can put your name in the hat for a chance to tell your story on the theme. It’s called Spontaneous Storytelling because you don’t know the theme until the last minute. Or just hang out and listen. It’s a fun, casual alternative to the bar scene.
Win a drink ticket if you get up to tell a story. And everyone who participates in the pre-show game gets entered in the raffle to win a gift certificate for food & drink at a popular Oakland beer garden. It’s a win-win situation.

Analytical Psychology Club, San Francisco
2 PM, All Ages
Free
Reading and interpreting fairy tales, so central to Jung and early Jungians, seems to have vanished. I welcome the opportunity to revisit this rich ground with you. Fairy tales mirror deep truths about the general human condition, reflecting essential archetypal bare-bones structures of the psyche. Exposure to fairy tales has a mysteriously healing effect, seemingly beyond words and cognition. Familiarity with fairy tales can bring deeper empathy, tolerance, and appreciation not only for ourselves and our own complexes, but for individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds, lifestyles and cultures. While interpretation of a tale is usually a major opus, we will enter the process together and see where it takes us in our three hours together. If you wish to prepare, read yourself a Grimm’s tale or two at bedtime, and/or bring along your favorite fairy tale from childhood. Together we’ll enter the long ago and far away…………
Frances Gilliam Slocumb, Ph.D., Research Psychoanalyst, was certified as a Jungian Analyst in Zurich in 1986. An analyst member of the Jung Institute of San Francisco and The InterRegional Society of Jungian Analysts, where she teaches and supervises, she is in private practice in Berkeley, Ca. A tenured professor in Virginia, she has also served on the faculty of clinical and organizational psychology doctoral programs in California. She presents lectures and workshops nationally and internationally on various aspects/stories of the multifaceted goddess Iris: psychopomp, bridge, rainbow, the only goddess who cares about humans, also imaged as Lady Alchemy, the subtle body, and feminine spirit. Having written a thesis in 1972 on neurofeedback, she enjoys her continuing study of neuroscience. In addition she served for many years on the American Board for Accreditation in Psychoanalysis.
This event is free for members. A door donation of $10-$20 is suggested for guests.
