Join us for an illuminating introduction to the psychology of Carl Jung and his groundbreaking ideas about the creative, healing power of the unconscious. A founding father of depth psychology, Jung was a maverick seeker, artist and visionary whose ideas were ahead of his time. We’ll look at the instrumental role of imagination, dreams and symbols in Jung’s approach to psychoanalysis, including his innovative technique of active imagination or ‘dreaming awake’, and the continued relevance of Jungian psychoanalysis as a powerful, transformative tool to access the unknown and facilitate creativity in support of both individual and collective growth.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm
