Dr Susan Faron – Emma Jung and the Wise Old Woman Spirit
How does the Wise Old Woman spirit offer a feminine way of peacemaking?
This talk is based on Dr Susan Faron‘s book The Wise Old Woman Spirit– Help as a Partnership. In the book Faron explores Jung’s and von Franz’s work on the archetype of the Wise Old Man and carries it forward to where we need it most: to the Wise Old Woman spirit (WOW spirit), a vital part of the human psyche that is critically needed in the world. Why? Because as an aspect of the feminine divine, this wisdom spirit requires the engagement of us humans in order to save humankind from self-extinction.
Emma Jung and Wise Old Woman Spirit
This Webinar invites you into the world of eros and, curiously, emptiness – two vital qualities of the Wise Old Woman spirit developing within all humanity – helping us survive … possibly even thrive. Faron will further the above exploration by an interview with Andreas Jung, grandson of CG and Emma Jung, wife and analyst herself, and reveals Emma‘s life as the quintessential expression of the WOW spirit. Emma’s model is then deepened by an imago, or re-experiencing, of the WOW spirit’s visit to a man from India. Further still in our depths, you’ll hear about how increasing integration of the feminine principle reveals itself in its peace-making role. The Wise Old Woman spirit offers a feminine way of peace-making, provoking and stimulating our imaginations.
The Wise Old Woman spirit brings Great Good Fortune.
The WOW spirit Bears Great Hope.
This event will consist of a talk given by Susan followed by breakout rooms and live Q&A.

About the speaker:
Dr Susan K Faron is a psychologist, author, lecturer, Diplomate Jungian Analyst, and graduate of the Research and Training Centre for Depth Psychology according to CG Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz, Zurich, Switzerland. Dr Faron has been in private analytic practice since 1983, specialising in dream interpretation in the context of development toward wholeness or individuation… all that we’re meant to be. Dr Faron‘s current attention is on what Jung describes as the “missing opposites” in human functioning, eros and emptiness, qualities unique to the feminine principle and a developmental part of every man, woman or other. Dr Faron has lectured at the San Francisco Analytical Psychology Club and presented internationally in other forums. She’s written seven unpublished manuscripts in addition to her 2023 book, The Wise Old Woman Spirit – Help as a Partnership (11-1-23). Dr Faron first became conscious of the wisdom woman remembering a 2010 dream about “being in a test,” realising many years later that she had had numerous unconscious encounters with the WOW spirit. Today, her goal is to reveal stories about the Wise Old Woman spirit told by “dream witnesses,” enlivening the partnerships so vital for our survival, indeed, for existence itself.
