This seminar is open to anyone interested in CGJung’s thought.
In the Red Book, CG Jung engaged in an encounter with his inner images and visions. These meetings allowed him to discover the Active Imagination method. Active Imagination, in its emphasis on the power of images, also inspired Sandplay therapy.
Some passages in the Red Book anticipate the catastrophe of the First World War, others are reactions to it. The Red Book also expresses a critical passage and a crisis in the public and private life of CG Jung. It emphasizes the need to move away from the domination of what Jung called “the Spirit of Time” towards the “Spirit of Depth” and a new synthesis. A rediscovery of forgotten qualities of the soul led to further important steps in its individuation process.
In this seminar we will follow some of Jung’s stages of development through meditation, and through an approach that focuses on our inner resonance in the body and creative expressions. In this way, we can interact with the important message of the Red Book not only in a cognitive, but also experiential and perhaps transformative way.
For this meeting, our exploration will focus on the themes developed in the initial parts of Liber Primus.
Participants are asked to bring colors and paper.
