It’s the weekend and welcome to the newest edition of the Jungian.Directory newsletter, where we bring you the latest events, books, courses, conferences and videos from around the Jungian world. We hope you enjoy what this week has to offer!
This week’s events include a film screening of Atonement hosted by SAAJA, exploring themes of guilt, shadow and the power of symbolic storytelling. Dream Tending offers a free session on unlocking the language of dreams, and the Assisi Institute hosts its Virtual Open House, featuring thesis presentations from two of its 2026 graduates. Looking a little further ahead, ISAP Zurich will present the Mercurius Prize to Stephen Apkon for his films on human rights.
We feature two new books. Michael Whan’s Dialectics and Alchemy has been published by Dusk Owl Books, while Zürich 2025 is available now from Daimon Verlag.
Two conferences are worth noting: the IAJS will host Digitalization and Analytical Psychology at University College London at the end of August, while the IAAP has opened its call for papers for the XXIV International Congress for Analytical Psychology, taking place in Rome in 2028.
For those looking to deepen their practice, the Jungian Center for the Spiritual Sciences offers A Window to the Self and Beyond, tracing an individuation process through the archetypal paintings of Peter Birkhaeuser. JUNG Archademy’s Alchemical Inner Work invites participants to engage the prima materia of the psyche through Alyssa Polizzi’s alchemical technique.
Scroll to the end for this week’s YouTube selection. The first traces Odysseus as an archetypal image of human existence, following his journey through war, love, fatherhood, and beyond. The second finds Giuliano Renna exploring analytical psychology in dialogue with art. The third brings Anne Baring’s retelling of the Sufi classic ‘The Conference of the Birds’ to life, following a guided flock as they face seven invisible monsters threatening the world.
