The Psychology of Carl Jung

Have you ever wondered what our dreams and imagination can say about our inner psychology? Join us for an introduction to the psychology of Carl Jung and his groundbreaking ideas about the creative, healing power of the unconscious. His extensive studies of ancient religions and mythologies, alongside his deep dream work, brought him to the edge of sanity. Through this work, he developed the pioneering concepts of the collective unconscious, the archetypes (including the shadow and the self), synchronicity, individuation, creative self-realisation and more.

We’ll explore key Jungian concepts in relation to how Jung combined ancient Eastern wisdom with Western psychology. We’ll learn how this can be understood as a form of ‘sacred science’ reflecting the spiritual crisis of late stage capitalism and how Jung’s thought places us inside a larger reality transcending space and time. We’ll consider how Jung’s psychoanalysis is still relevant today as a powerful tool to access the unknown and facilitate creativity in support of both individual and collective growth.
