It’s the weekend and welcome back to the Jungian.Directory newsletter, where we bring you the latest events, books, courses, conferences and videos from around the Jungian world. Sit back, relax, and please enjoy what this week has to offer.
This week’s event lineup ranges from the shadow side of helping to the dark goddess and the body. Tonight, Jung Archademy explores malignant altruism and the archetypal forces behind help that undermines both giver and receiver. Tomorrow, the C G Jung Institute of Chicago offers an introduction to complexes, archetypes, and symbols in Jungian analysis. On Sunday, the C.G. Jung Club of Orange County turns to Hekate as the dark goddess who holds the light, and on Tuesday the SAAJA enters unexplored territory by examining excess weight as a communication from the unconscious.
We feature two books. I Cunha’s Brazilian Amerindian Cannibalism and the Making of the Eternal Body is coming soon from Routledge, and A. Maguire’s Seven Deadly Sins: The Dark Companions of the Soul was published earlier this year by Daimon Verlag.
Two conferences are upcoming: the Société Belge de Psychologie Analytique hosts its Third International Francophone Conference in Brussels, and the London Arts-Based Research Centre‘s Alchemy conference takes place online in November.
We also feature two new courses. The C.G. Jung Foundation for Analytical Psychology opens a course on Jungian dream interpretation next month. And the Society of Analytical Psychology offers its next JPEG group-work series starting in October.
Scroll down to the very end for this week’s selection of YouTube videos. This week’s collection are all past IAJS presentations. The first sees Tom Cheetham trace the fraught relationship between Jung and Henry Corbin, exploring how both grappled with the boundary between psyche and matter. Next, poet Shadab Zeest Hashmi reads from her own work, drawing on Sufi symbology and the Quranic stories of Yousef and Bilqis. Last, Glen Slater examines how dissociation in the digital age are paving the way toward a posthuman merger with technology.
