It’s Friday 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. We hope you enjoy what this week has to offer.
Many exciting events lie ahead this week. Today, Pacifica Graduate Institute opens its virtual doors for a free exploration of its graduate programmes. Tomorrow marks the anniversary of Jung’s death, and the Jung Society of Washington honours it with their annual memorial lecture, this year delivered by James Hollis on the psychological necessity of leaving home. Sunday, the Assisi Institute brings James Hollis and Susannah Heschel together for Whispers of Hope. Tuesday features the art of contemplating death from the C.G. Jung Society of Sarasota, and a free event the next day from Psychosocial Wednesdays. Thursday, the Eranos Foundation gathers in Ascona for the launch of a book on the rediscovered artist and Eranos founder Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn.
We feature two new books this week. Murray Stein and Henry Abramovitch’s Twilight at Bollingen is recently released from Chiron Publications. And coming in October, The Evolution of Consciousness through Depth Psychology will be published by Routledge.
Two conferences are happening right now and next week. This weekend, the Society of Analytical Psychology marks the 80th anniversary of its founding. Next week, the Jungian Society for Scholarly Studies convenes at Lewis and Clark College in Portland for its 21st conference.
Two courses are worth noting. From June 13, the Centre for Applied Jungian Studies launches a three-month programme weaving Jungian depth psychology together with the yogic chakra system. And from July, Jung Archademy returns to the mysterious phenomenon of crop circles.
Scroll to the very end for this week’s YouTube selection. An IAJS round table asks what depth psychology has to offer, and still needs to learn, in an era of political upheaval and collective anxiety. Next, our own Stephen Garratt traces the concept of attention from Jung’s word association tests to the social media algorithm. Finally, Carolina Guíñez presents qualitative research on lesbian identity development through the lens of analytical psychology and individuation.
