JUNG’S FIRST MANDALA: “SYSTEMA MUNDITOTIUS”

The presentation will investigate the unconscious images assaulting Jung in his night-sea journey as they are portrayed in his first painted mandala entitled “Systema Munditotius” (1916). We will appreciate the connection between Jung’s inner experience and everything we have been learning about Jungian psychology throughout the certificate studies. Familiarity with the passionate foundation of Jung’s opus reveals the link between Jung’s emotional ordeal and the creation of his psychology, deepening our understanding of both. We will likewise have a chance to discuss our own “system of the world,” if so desired, as we find possible analogies between our personal growth and our experience in the certificate program. Learning objectives will be enhanced through color slides and discussion.
