Shakespeare & Freud in The Czech Republic: Commemorating Freud’s 170th Anniversaryin Příbor, Czech Republic. May7-13, SAVE $400 Register before January 22nd.

In 1611, Shakespeare set The Winter’s Tale, a drama of exile, loss, and miraculous return, in Bohemia.
In 1856, Sigmund Freud was born in a small Moravian town called Příbor.
In May 2026, we bring these two stories together in the land they share. This immersive seminar is part pilgrimage, part living classroom. Timed to coincide with the 170th anniversary of Freud’s birth, it offers rare access to places, archives, and commemorations not open to the public, and invites participants to explore how memory, rupture, exile, and restoration shape both psyche and story.

At the heart of the journey is an unusual and powerful pairing:
📖 Freud’s “Screen Memories” (1899)
🎭 Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale
Together, led by a Freudian scholar and a Shakespearean actor-scholar, we explore how unbearable truths are transformed into survivable narratives, and how time, distance, and speech make healing possible.

What Makes This Journey Singular
Private access to Freud’s birth home in Příbor, with seminar sessions held inside the very room where he was born
Exclusive visits to the home and gallery of the late Jane McAdam Freud, Sigmund Freud’s great-granddaughter, whose work explores lineage, return, and ancestral memory
Theatrical workshops bringing The Winter’s Tale to life, not as spectators, but as participants
Daily Social Dreaming sessions, engaging communal dreams in the birthplace of psychoanalysis
Guided walks through the meadows Freud later recalled as his “earliest garden”
Participation in the official 170th Anniversary celebrations in Příbor’s town square

I’m traveling the world, but still dreaming of Africa… The stillness I miss. Not just the stillness, bursting with life, but my inner stillness. I have never felt still, or silent inside. My thoughts loud and rumbling like a burst of a storm in South Africa, roaring like the lions who were my alarm clock. My brain only silenced this one time for a brief moment on the vast bushland. If I could capture my stillness and bring it with me I would. This stillness, this silence, this calm in my brain, in my body, in my soul.
Sadness washes over me as it slips further and further away.

To walk among the ancient ruins either no crowds is such a treat! I love this place early in the morning when I’m alone here just me and thousands of years of mythology. My favorite place to walk in Athens.

I wake up every morning and the first thing I do is think of Africa, and the rhythm of life, my heart beating fast, sitting beside a lion. The lions so close, I hold my breath in silence. The unknown, I feel I’ve known forever. Missing the closeness with the vast open savannah, missing the animals and the loud silence of nature. I was part of nature’s theater for a brief moment in time.

The essence of Africa. This photo encapsulates how I fell in love with this land, its people, the magnificent landscape and the animals.
Being in Africa does something to one’s soul. I don’t think I will ever be the same. 😢 I feel a bit sad after a long trip- reverse culture shock and jet lag ✈️ has become my norm.
…but this is definitely different. It’s like I’m homesick for a place that isn’t my home. The rhythm of life there will forever be in my heart, waking to the lions roaring , following their daily life and becoming part of the Savannah. Africa I left my heart ♥️ for you to hold until I return…

What Is Art Trying to Tell Us Right Now? Archetypal Art History:
A Visual Exploration of Collective Transformations
Live Online | 2 CE Credits

Every era leaves behind visual clues from the collective unconscious that, if we know how to read them, reveal where we are headed next. From the haunting faces of medieval icons to the bold disruptions of modern art, imagery has a way of whispering truths before words can be spoken.

Depth psychologist Erich Neumann believed that art’s symbolic power can guide cultures through moments of change, acting as an early warning system for transformation. Carl Jung, his mentor, saw these same images as manifestations of psychic patterns that surface collectively when a culture is on the verge of evolution or crisis.

In this online course, we’ll decode those symbols. Together, we’ll look at how shifts in Western art have predicted major social and psychological turning points—and what today’s emerging art forms might be hinting about our own future.

Expect to explore…
How archetypal imagery shapes and reflects our collective psyche.
What past cultural shifts can teach us about reading today’s art.
The role of beauty, shock, and symbolism in guiding cultural change.

No art history knowledge required! Just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to deepen your view of the world.

Your guides:
Dr. Jeffrey Kiehl, PhD: Jungian Analyst and expert on the archetypal dimensions of culture and art.
Dr. Leslee Brown, PhD: International educator and Director of Mind Body Passport.

Embark on a transformative intellectual journey with Mind Body Passport's newest rendition of our Reading Room series. Join us for an unparalleled, in-depth, and collaborative exploration of Sigmund Freud's groundbreaking case: Dora: Fragments of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria.

Written in 1905, 'Fragments of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria,' better known as 'The Dora Case,' remains one of Freud’s most famous and profoundly controversial case studies. Here, Freud recounts his treatment of a young woman suffering from ‘hysterical’ symptoms, seemingly caught in a complex web of love-triangles and family intrigues. Yet, as we'll discover, Dora’s symptoms can be read as powerful expressions of repressed desire and a defiant repudiation of the societal sexual and gender norms of her era. The case is also illuminating for its intricate dream analysis and Freud’s own 'novelistic' brilliance, which shines through his vivid descriptions of fin-de-siècle Viennese bourgeois life. Though Freud himself described the case as a 'failure,' it proved remarkably productive, as its shortcomings famously enabled him to develop his pivotal theory of 'transference.' What is perhaps the most enduring and memorable aspect of this text, however, is the figure of Dora herself, who, like Antigone, stands out as a beacon of defiance, boldly rejecting the patriarchal conditions of her time—a theme that resonates powerfully even today.

Dr. Leslee Brown and Head of Research at the Freud Museum London, Tom DeRose, have meticulously crafted a dynamic, highly interactive online environment. Here, you'll immerse yourself in collaborative reading aloud, fostering a safe, supportive, and engaging atmosphere. We will frequently pause between sections for rich, insightful discussions with fellow participants and facilitators, allowing you to gain a profound and nuanced understanding of psychoanalysis by actively engaging with the original material. This unique, hands-on experience transcends traditional lectures, empowering you to develop critical reading skills, deepen your psychoanalytic thinking, and foster genuine intellectual exploration alongside a vibrant community.
