Starting in 30 Days
Once a month on Sundays, January–june 2026

4:00–6:00 pm ET
What if everything you've been searching for is already here?
We all have two modes of being. There's the dimension of the everyday: the nine-to-five, the to-do lists, the surface chatter. And then there's another dimension: more expansive, reflective, oriented toward meaning. Most of us operate entirely in the first mode, never accessing the depth, ease, and liberation available in the second.
Symbolic Listening is the practice of shifting between these dimensions, of learning to hear what someone is truly saying beneath their words, to see the picture of their inner world, their deepest longings, and their path to wholeness.
Join Rev. Leslye Noyes, PsyD, MDiv, a certified Jungian Analyst with 35 years of clinical experience, for this transformative six-month online course (meeting once a month) starting January 2026. This is a rare opportunity to learn Jung's powerful theory and method of Symbolic Listening, in an accessible, experiential format designed for everyone.
This course is open to anyone (any level of experience) committed to living with deeper presence and authentic relating, and it is particularly useful for:
In this short introductory video, Leslye discusses the focus of this course and it's aim to develop our deeper, reflective minds; one that is able to hear a another's words as images of their inner world, revealing their suffering and longing.
Financial Support: NYZC endeavors to make our programs accessible. If the cost of this program is prohibitive, please choose the scholarship level.
There are a limited number of scholarship seats available. If the scholarship level is not listed on the registration form, that means it is no longer available.
The class will be held on the following Sundays from 4:00–6:00pm ET:
January 25 | February 22 | March 22 | April 26 | May 17 | June 7
Each class will be a bite size offering of one of Jung’s signature concepts, a teacher demonstration of working with that concept, and time for participants to practice this method with one another.
Plenty of suggested readings (shared with you via PDF) will be offered to support your learning! Readings will pull from selected works by Carl Jung, Eugene Taylor, and Mircea Eliade.
*Recordings of the class, not including breakout room discussions, will be made available to registered students.
