🦋 Between Dissolution and Emergence: Jung, Gebser and the Metamorphosis of Consciousness

Could the fragmentation and uncertainty of our time be understood not only as disintegration, but as a threshold toward a new form of consciousness?

On October 24th, Eva Rider, MA, LMFT, will explore this question at the Gebser Conference, drawing on the work of C. G. Jung and alchemical symbolism.

Through the image of the chrysalis, this presentation considers how dissolution and emergence may be understood as interconnected dimensions of transformation.

✨ The Golden Thread: Fairy Tale and the Alchemical Wedding

How do fairy tales illuminate the mysteries of the psyche, relationship, and transformation?

On October 30th, Eva Rider, MA, LMFT, will present The Golden Thread: Fairy Tale and the Alchemical Wedding* at the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich in a virtual seminar exploring fairy tales through a Jungian and alchemical lens.

Together, we will follow the symbolic thread of the coniunctio—the Sacred Wedding, or union of opposites—and explore how ancient stories continue to speak to psychological transformation and individuation.

The Golden Thread: Fairy Tale and the Alchemical Wedding

C.G. Jung Institute Zürich
October 30, 2026

I am delighted to be returning to the C.G. Jung Institute Zürich for an online webinar this October 30th to present The Golden Thread: Fairy Tale and the Alchemical Wedding.

Fairy tales carry some of the oldest images of transformation within the collective psyche. In this seminar, we will enter their symbolic world through a Jungian and alchemical lens, exploring the journey of transformation and the coniunctio—the Sacred Wedding or union of opposites.

We follow the golden thread through fairy tale and alchemical imagery, exploring how these ancient stories continue to speak to the mysteries of psyche, relationship, transformation, and individuation.

“We have fallen out of belonging. Consequently, when we stand before crucial thresholds in our lives, we have no rituals to protect, encourage, and guide us as we cross over into the unknown.”

Mercurius, however, is not just the medium of conjunction but also that which is to be united, since he is the essence or "seminal matter" of both man and woman. Mercurius masculinus and Mercurius foemineus are united in and through Mercurius menstrualis, which is the "aqua."
Dorn gives the "philosophical" explanation of this in his "Physica Trismegisti": In the beginning God created one world (unus mundus).
This he divided into two—heaven and earth. "Beneath this spiritual and corporeal binarius lieth hid a third thing, which is the bond of
holy matrimony.
This same is the medium enduring until now in all things, partaking of both their extremes, without which it cannot be at all, nor they without this medium be what they are, one thing out of three."
The division into two was necessary in order to bring the "one" world out of the state of potentiality into reality. Reality consists of a multiplicity of things. But one is not a number; the first number is two, and with it multiplicity and reality begin.
