Dive into the unconscious processes of growth and self-realization through the lens of Jung’s alchemical symbols. Dive into the unconscious processes of growth and self-realization through the lens of Jung’s alchemical symbols.
This course delves into Carl Jung’s groundbreaking interpretation of alchemy as a symbolic representation of psychological transformation. Jung saw alchemy as more than a precursor to modern science; he viewed it as a profound metaphor for the journey of individuation, where alchemical symbols reflect the unconscious processes of growth and self-realization. Through four comprehensive lectures, participants will explore alchemical origins in Christian and Islamic traditions, understand the psychospiritual dimensions of alchemical stages, and examine symbols like the prima materia, the spirit Mercurius, and the philosopher’s stone.
