It’s the weekend and welcome back to the Jungian.Directory newsletter, where we bring you the latest events, books, courses, conferences and videos from around the Jungian world. Sit back, relax, and please enjoy what this week has to offer.
This week’s events move between myth, mystery, and modern anxieties. Tonight, the New Mexico Society of Jungian Analysts turns to the ancient Greek mystery rites and their bearing on individuation. Tomorrow, the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles hosts Andrew Samuels on his “Agenda 2050” for analytical psychology, tracing the field’s generational waves from Jung’s own circle through to today’s neo-Jungians. On Sunday, ARAS continues its series on the tension of opposites with Kikan Massara. Monday brings Jung After Work‘s session on Jung and artificial intelligence, hosted with Bert Young, and Thursday closes the week with the British Psychotherapy Foundation‘s talk pairing Argentine tango with the practice of analysis.
We feature two books. Rubin and Van Den Berg’s fourth edition of Approaches to Art Therapy releases in March, updated with new chapters. And Qwarnström’s The Tyranny of Type in Shakespeare and Jung is now available for pre-order, reading Shakespeare’s tragic protagonists through Jung’s concept of the inferior function. Both are forthcoming from Routledge.
We remind you of two conferences on the horizon: the Taiwan Society of Analytical Psychology‘s International Conference on Jungian Psychology takes place in Taipei this December, and the 10th Latin American Congress of Jungian Psychology gathers in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, in September 2027.
We also feature two courses. The Assisi Institute opens a new course on the wisdom of von Franz and the archetypal dynamics of fairy tales later this month. And Jung Platform‘s “Men, Women, and the Wound Beneath” traces a mythological path toward Jung’s sacred marriage, starting in October.
Scroll down for this week’s selection of YouTube videos. The first is Sarah Jade Steinberg on Hekate as the dark goddess who holds the light. Next, Sally Kingsland explores ineffable cosmic reality and its bearing on the Self and synchronicity. Last, Dr Sharon Blackie discusses what it might mean to re-enchant a disenchanted world, drawing on Neoplatonism, Hillman, and Corbin.
