Searching for Clarity Amid Chaos in World Events: How Reflecting on Complex Theory & Archetypal Movement Empowers Us

Held via Zoom
Kenneth James, PhD and Laura McGrew, LCPC
CEUs: 2.5

Climate change, disastrous and puzzling storm activity, ever-new war initiatives—today, the world seems gripped by inescapable and undecipherable chaos. Where is the organizing center promised to us by Jungian psychology? How can current events be understood as expressing transpersonal archetypal dynamics filtered through personal and cultural complexes?

Jungian analysts Laura McGrew and Ken James, long-time friends of the Jung Center, will facilitate a deep discussion of these current events, illustrating how understanding complex theory and archetypal movement can bring insight, comfort, and renewed feeling of agency to our place in the world.

Recommended Reading: CW Volume 17, “The Development of Personality,” paragraphs 284 through 323.

The Stages of Psychological Transformation in Jung’s Vision Seminars

Held via Zoom
John Pallas
CEUs: 2

The Vision Seminars represent the culmination of intense collaborative work between artist Christiana Morgan and C.G. Jung, comprised of the vivid dream and vision material of the former and the penetrating psychological insight of the latter. These writings offer a detailed commentary on the universal process of psychological development, transformation and, perhaps, redemption. Participants will be provided a distilled overview of the dynamics of this psychological work, and offered the opportunity to work directly with specific images from these lectures.
