TCP Speaker Series: Nature Coincidences & Compassion with Matthew Zylstra & Juliet Trail The Coincidence Project 2023-08-08 | Meaningful coincidences occur between humans, and also with the rest of nature, including animals, trees, plants and celestial phenomena, giving us a felt experience of interconnectedness with the world around us. Stories and myths across the world describe animals and plants serving as mirrors, messengers, connecting us to departed loved ones, appearing as totems or 'spirit animals', offering insightful teaching and healing, even seeming to communicate with us. Join our hosts, Matthew Zylstra, PhD and Juliet Trail, PhD, as we explore why these experiences are important, what kinds of experiences are common, and what the implications are for living together in a more connected, compassionate way on the earth.About Our Speakers:Matthew Zylstra, PhD is an integral ecologist, researcher and outdoor facilitator with the Kwendalo Institute in South Africa.

Coincidence, Kaleidoscoe, Boundaries and “The Glimpse” - TCP Speaker Series The Coincidence Project 2024-08-07 | Presenter: Richard Petty, MD, Director of Education and Research, RGP Inc. (Georgia, USA)Throughout history, anomalous phenomena have, at certain times, either become more common, or have been noticed more often. In either case, it can be seen as an indication that the cosmic kaleidoscope is turning once more. We are living in such an era.In this session of the monthly Speaker Series, we will discuss evidence that human beings are changing and that part of the reason for this change is a gradual dissolution of boundaries that have stood for millennia. We suggest that coincidences and synchronistic experiences are indications that we are embedded in a profoundly psychic, intense, dynamically vibrant Web that is richly conscious, multileveled and polysemous. A Web in which separation is seen to be an illusion and consciousness transcends our ordinary understanding of both time and space.Learn more about The Coincidence Project events: thecoincidenceproject.net/events_participateBIO: Richard Petty is a physician, psychiatrist and scientist who holds a master’s degrees in biochemistry, a doctorate in endothelial biology, as well as advanced qualifications in acupuncture and Reiki.

Synchronicity, Feminine Order, and the Goddess of Meaning for TCP Speaker Series The Coincidence Project 2024-07-30 | Presented by Cynthia Cavalli, Synchronicity Coach / Executive Leadership Coach, for The Coincidence Project Speaker Series. Learn more: thecoincidenceproject.net/events_participateThe conceptualization of synchronicity by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and its central tenet of acausal meaning challenged his credibility as a scientist. His formal definition focused therefore on a scientific exploration of the acausal connection and the presence of archetypes as essential structuring features.But the experience of deep meaning that accompanies big synchronicities possesses a deeply emotional feeling tone that is often lost in such intellectual discussions. In this session of the monthly Speaker Series, we explore the phenomenon of meaning from the perspective of feminine structure, not to contradict Jung’s approach but to round it out through a holistic, soul-inclusive approach.BIO: Cynthia Cavalli, Ph.D. is an executive leadership coach and transformation consultant. Her education includes degrees in physics, business administration, and human systems. Her corporate experience includes nearly 30 years in aerospace engineering, project management, and strategy development. An avid student of Jungian psychology, she incorporates the principles of synchronicity and symbolism from dreams and mythology into her coaching practice. Dr. Cavalli is passionate about the deep interconnectedness of all things, and offers seminars and workshops weaving together insights from complexity science and ancient wisdom traditions.

Astrology, The Persistent Synchronicity for TCP Speaker Series The Coincidence Project 2024-07-10 | Presented by Sue Kientz, astrologer and author, for the monthly TCP Speaker Series. Learn more: thecoincidenceproject.net/events_participateSue Kientz explains the special connection between astrology and meaningful coincidences, how each gives a unique insight into one’s life by reflecting a personal narrative that can be interpreted. Whether you spot a meaningful coincidence happening spontaneously or you reference an astrology chart, each mirrors back your current life’s path with specific guidance. Sue will explain how this might happen, what professional astrologers look for in charts during a consultation, and how astrology resembles the structure of synchronicities – and can assist us in gauging the importance of one.In addition, participants will be introduced to the most consequential new dwarf planets and their astrological meaning and hear why their appearance is a breakthrough for astrology, one promising to help us navigate the anticipated challenging times ahead. We will close with a Q&A session, so bring your curiosity and your questions! This session is free and open to all, with pre-registration required.About Our PresenterSue Kientz, M.A., is an astrologer and a technical writer and researcher, and author of More Plutos (2015), the definitive book on new Dwarf Planets for astrologers, covering Eris, Makemake, Haumea, Sedna, and more. Sue experienced her first synchronicity in 1981, which she named “parallel situations,” unaware of Jung’s work. She has devoted her life to understanding and explaining both astrology and synchronicity and now believes they serve the same function and differ mostly in accessibility — astrology requires learning its symbolic language and analysis techniques, while meaningful coincidences need one to simply pay attention and be open to numinous experience.

Jung & Pauli: A Fateful Synchronicity for TCP Speaker Series The Coincidence Project 2024-05-16 | Presented by Roderick Main, Professor, University of Essex for the monthly TCP Speaker Series. Learn more: thecoincidenceproject.net/events_participateCarl Jung’s major essay about synchronicity was originally published in a joint book, The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche, alongside an essay about Kepler by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli. When English translations of the essays were being prepared, Pauli was urged by his physics colleagues to publish his essay separately from Jung’s. However, Pauli insisted that the essays should continue to be published together: “The book is itself a fateful ‘synchronicity,’” he wrote with emphasis, “and must remain one.”In this presentation, Dr. Main take Pauli’s comment seriously, perhaps more seriously than he intended, and look at his and Jung’s joint book as though it were a synchronicity. If the “psychic” and “physical” components of the book, namely, the essay of Jung the psychologist and the essay of Pauli the physicist, are acausally connected through meaning, what is that meaning? As can be done with synchronicities generally, I offer an interpretation of the book in relation to various levels of meaning that can be elicited from it: from the parallels between the book’s component essays, to the sense of numinosity that it evokes, to its transformational significance for its two authors, and finally to its possible transpersonal or archetypal significance.About Our PresenterRoderick Main, PhD, works at the University of Essex, where he is Professor in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and Director of the Centre for Myth Studies. His most recent book is Breaking the Spell of Disenchantment: Mystery, Meaning, and Metaphysics in the Work of C. G. Jung (Chiron Publications, 2022).

TCP Speakers Series: Synchronicity & Spirit Communication The Coincidence Project 2024-03-13 | In this session of the monthly TCP Speaker Series, our host is Writer & Novelist Trish MacGregor. She discusses synchronicities that surface to facilitate communication with the dead, usually a departed loved one. She draws upon her expertise in astrology as well as synchronicity, to reflect on the ways in which many layers and dimensions of meaningful coincidence offer us the potential for greater insights, communication, and finding meaning all around us.She shares: ” When my younger sister, Mary, died suddenly and unexpectedly on June 6, 2023, on the eve of my birthday, it triggered a number of synchronicities. These included: a hummingbird that became the archetype for her life, astrological synchronicities with Pluto conjuncting my natal moon, and spirit communication that had eerie similarities to the book my husband, Rob, and I have written on this very topic, The Secrets of Spirit Communication.

TCP Coincidence Cafe: Signs, Synchronicities and Guidance The Coincidence Project 2024-01-21 | In this session of the Coincidence Cafe, we explore Signs and Synchronicities: How to See, Interpret and Use Guidance from All Around Us. Our co-hosts Liliane and David Fortna experience synchronicity all around them: with nature, with other people, in unexpected opportunities–and they find that in life “we are never really alone.” They have also studied how blockages to meaningful coincidences arise and how to remove them (as explored in Liliane’s book, Winks from Above), so that we can be part of the full flow and potential of synchronicity. There are little miracles all around us on a daily basis, although we can easily miss them if we are not aware, or if we are blocked in some way. Join us to explore the variety of ways that we can experience synchronicity and how to recognize and resolve the blocks to them that can occur.

TCP Speakers Series: Engaging Coincidence through Oracles, such as the I Ching The Coincidence Project 2024-01-19 | In this session, we discuss the phenomenon of oracles as they relate to coincidence, the key role they formerly played in human lives, and how they can still offer wisdom to us in present times. Focusing especially on the I Ching, we will learn how it inspired Carl Jung to formulate his theory of synchronicity, and about its uncanny quality to return responses that not only objectively speak to the situation at hand but also impart personal guidance to the querent (who is the person seeking insight from the oracle). In other words, this 3,000-year-old system can meet you where you’re at! We also explore the history, structure, and various uses of the I Ching, and, if the “time” feels right, give the I Ching the opportunity to speak directly to participants through a live reading. Full Session Details: thecoincidenceproject.net/events_participate/coincidence-and-oraclesAbout Our PresenterMary Kay Landon, PhD, is a Member of the Board of The Coincidence Project. She founded her I Ching consultative practice, Decision Point I Ching Consultation, in 2016 after over 30 years of studying and engaging this amazing oracle with herself and others. She received her doctorate from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) where she studied with noted Taiwanese scholar and author Dr. Yi Wu, and gained a deeper understanding of the I Ching’s foundational influence on Chinese philosophy. She devoted her dissertation, “On Receiving Unexpected Money: A Theoretical and Empirical Exploration of Anomalous Mind–Matter Interactions within Archetypal Fields,” to a study that would advance Jung’s synchronicity principle, a principle that was partially inspired by his work with the I Ching.

TCP Speaker Series: Synchronistic Experience: Enlightenment or Psychosis? with Chris Mackey The Coincidence Project 2023-08-30 | In this session, Chris highlights ways of differentiating positive, healthy and meaningful synchronistic experiences from signs of mental illness.How should we interpret people having visions, or seeing ghosts, or hearing voices, or receiving personal messages from the radio, or confidently predicting a future event? In psychiatric settings, these experiences are described as “illusions,” “hallucinations,” “ideas of reference” or “delusions.” These are all generally viewed as signs of psychosis. However, in other circumstances, such phenomena might represent a valid transpersonal experience, a spiritual awakening or a meaningful coincidence.Chris draws on more than forty years of clinical experience gained as a senior psychologist in psychiatric hospitals and in his private practice. He shares examples from his psychotherapy clients as well as his own personal experience with synchronistic events. About Chris Mackey: Chris is committed to promoting optimistic and effective approaches in mental health care. He has presented at numerous national and international scientific conferences over the past 25 years on such topics as psychological therapy for trauma reactions and drawing on synchronicity in psychotherapy. Chris was awarded the 2019 Australian Allied Health Impact Award for his clinical research, supervision of colleagues, media involvement and writing.

TCP Coincidence Cafe: Unexpected Money, March 20, 2023 The Coincidence Project 2023-06-02 | Coincidence Cafe is a free, virtual monthly series offered by The Coincidence Project. We explore new themes and topics each month, with new co-hosts each time. In this session, Mary Kay Landon and Juliet Trail co-host. Mary Kay Landon introduces a "coincidence exercise" to take place for the month to follow viewing/attending this session. Participate with others in a prospective exercise to see if, together, we can "seed" coincidence(s) that relate to a topic we establish in advance. For the purposes of this exercise, the topic is unexpected money, chosen because we all have a relationship with money, regardless of all other factors in our lives. You are invited to notice if you find or receive any unexpected money in positive ways (including free tickets or other materials or opportunities that would normally have a cost associated with them) that may come your way in the coming month.
