Friday is upon us again and so is another 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 on offer!
A particularly busy week of events lies ahead, and there are many more happening this weekend, so do check our events calendar for the full selection. Tonight, the SAP welcomes Professor Sonu Shamdasani to discuss his landmark project: an entirely new edition of Jung’s Collected Works. Tomorrow, the Cambridge Jungian Circle asks whether the cultural puer aeternus has turned violent. Sunday, KC Friends of Jung turns to the Renegade archetype and the Age of Aquarius, with Laurence Hillman on becoming psychologically future-fit. Wednesday, Pacifica Graduate Institute offers practical wisdom on navigating the crooked path of a depth psychology career. And Thursday, the BPF invites George Bright to ask what intersectional, queer, feminist, and decolonial thinking might have to offer.
Two books catch our attention this week. Volume 11 of the Collected Works of Marie-Louise von Franz is now available from Chiron Publications. And Jung’s Psychological Types appears in paperback from Routledge.
Two conferences are coming up in the near and far future. The LABRC gathers in mid-July for a conference on eco-poetics and environmental artivism. And a reminder that the call for papers for the JAP’s 2027 conference in Croatia closes on July 31.
Two courses are open for enrolment. From mid-August, Pacifica Graduate Institute launches a Joseph Campbell certificate programme exploring myth and storytelling as gateways to psyche and soul. And from late August, the C.G. Jung Institute of Colorado opens its fall study group covering dream interpretation, alchemy, complexes, archetypes, and the structure and dynamics of the psyche.
At the end of this email you will find this week’s YouTube selection. First, philosopher Sean McGrath explores how AI shapes human relationships and imagination. Next, Elizabeth Nelson brings Hermes and Hestia to bear on our technological lives; the god of the internet meets the goddess of the hearth. Finally, Susan E. Schwartz joins Laura London to discuss her book on the dimensions of the father-son dynamic.
