Overview

We spend a significant part of our lives at work. This series, based on several of Jung’s core ideas, provides a framework to better understand what happens in this vital venue, our places of work. Five teachers bring their expertise to help us appreciate and deal with the complexity of workplaces.

Each class provides insights that help us explore ourselves, our colleagues and the world around us at work. Our teachers address the following themes:

  • By looking for the myths and stories that our places of work are telling, we can better understand our workplace culture and our role within it.
  • As we recognize our own personal stories playing out on the job, we can improve our working relationships with others.
  • When we look to our dreams, we can receive guidance to meet professional challenges and enhance our unfolding on the job.
  • A Jungian view of career helps us to become clearer about our vocational calling. It uncovers our true motivations and shines a light on the diverse motivations of others.

The teachers in this series share clarifying anecdotes, supportive exercises and practical wisdom from multiple vantage points. They draw from a variety of Jungian concepts including the numinous, the shadow, the centrality of myth, folklore & stories, archetypes, the personal & collective unconscious and dreams.
