Through Jung’s process of making his visual images, the realm of energy organizing fields, which he later called archetypes, took phenomenal form. For Jung, these images became the mediators between the archetypal and the material worlds.

In the Red Book, Jung describes how he discovered the necessity of giving form to these energies in order to separate from them as well as to interact with them. Thus the ego or will becomes a player and the individual no longer falls victim to the control of these powerful forces.  The process of giving our moods visual form brings them here where we can grapple with them, making the struggle conscious and allowing choice to become possible.

In this seminar, participants will explore the method and purpose of Jung’ image making process as a way to deepen their own understanding of his use of image in the formation of his psychological theory and the individuation process.
