Dr. Joseph Cambray: Synchronicity, Individuation, and the Psychoid Imagination: Towards Re-enchantment
We will explore Jung's concept of individuation and the origins of synchronicity, leading to his interpretation of archetypes as "psychoid." This re-visioning, supported by complexity theory, will link to a new paradigm of reality and the re-enchantment of the world.

Synchronicity, Individuation, and the Psychoid Imagination: Towards Re-enchantment
We will begin by reviewing the experiences which lead to Jung’s formulation of “individuation” as the goal of analytic work. This will be followed by exploring the origins of his conception of synchronicity followed by his ultimate reading of archetypes in terms of the "psychoid." A contemporary re-visioning of these ideas through the application of complexity theory will provide a link to a new emerging paradigm for understanding our reality, opening to the possibility of re-enchantment of the world. The role of the psychoid layer of archetypal reality will be highlighted as it pertains to recent research in ecological systems as well as certain artistic traditions. Examples from several fields will guide us towards the articulation of the psychoid imagination as central to this new vision.
