Welcome to Friday and welcome to this week’s edition of the Jungian.Directory newsletter, bringing 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 calendar is full to the brim and explores some interesting topics. Today, the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago examines disability and individuation through C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces. Tomorrow, the Guild of Pastoral Psychology takes on the union of opposites. Monday brings a free event from Jung After Work taking a fresh look at the Crone archetype. Tuesday, SAAJA explores the body as shadow through neuroscience. Wednesday, Jung Platform brings Jungian psychology into dialogue with ancestral plant medicine. And Thursday, the C.G. Jung Club London turns to one of the Red Book’s most enigmatic figures: the forgotten god Abraxas.
This week we feature two new titles from Routledge. Renos K. Papadopoulos and Stephen Garratt’s The Second Handbook of Jungian Psychology: Theory, Practice and Applications is available today and Inácio Cunha’s Brazilian Amerindian Cannibalism and the Making of the Eternal Body arrives in September.
Two conferences are worth noting this weekend and beyond. LABRC‘s Sacred Arts 2026 conference opens today, and the Assisi Institute hosts a Romanian conference at the end of May.
We feature two courses. Pacifica Graduate Institute offers a certificate course applying depth psychology to unlocking creative potential. And from August, Jung Archademy descends into the underworld of the feminine psyche.
Scroll to the very end for this week’s YouTube selection. First, Bret Alderman asks what myth animates the intellectual style of deconstruction. Next, Russell Lockhart joins the Psyche Speaks podcast to discuss dreams, synchronicities, and how psyche makes itself heard. Finally, Jungian Ever After turns to one of Greek mythology’s darkest stories: Agamemnon’s sacrifice of Iphigenia and what it reveals about individuation and the choices parents make.
