https://jungian.directory/related_organisation/c-g-jung-club-london/The Club was founded in 1922 by close associates of Carl Gustav Jung and continues today, building a community that explores Jung's ideas and concepts.Thursday Lectures offer a relaxed and informal way to listen to a variety of speakers covering a broad spectrum of subjects that intersect through Jungian Psychology.Saturday & Weekend Seminars offer an opportunity to delve deeper into particular themes and subjects.Reading Groups are seen to be the heart of the Club and provide an opportunity to experience close reading and analysis of Jungian texts, fairy tales, and the Red Book.Various other Jung Club Small Groups (Reading Groups, Art Making Group, Film Viewing Group, and Embodied Jung) provide opportunities to get involved in a number of diverse activities.Faye Pye Grass Root Seminars are a series of seminars that introduce the basic concepts of Jungian Analytical Psychology. They are invaluable to those encountering Jung for the first time, as well as to those who have experienced years of analysis.The Harvest journal is published annually by the Club and can be received as part of Club membership or by subscription.The Club Library contains a diverse collection of around 2000 books, journals, notes, and articles. It also has a collection of compact-cassettes with recordings of lectures given at the club dating back to the late 1960s.The Club hosts an exciting number of lectures and events throughout the year and full details can be found in the links above.Through various associations with other well known Jungian organisations, we are happy to advertise other interesting events that are taking place outside of the Jung Club. Details for those events can be found here.
Analytical Psychology in a Virtual World: A Marriage in Heaven
This project draws on theoretical work that suggests immersive, virtual environments can provide a vehicle for active imagination and acts as sources for exposure to archetypal images and experiences. This lecture will share the results of Phase 1 (comprised of a one-day research event at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) of an ongoing initiative. Participants tested Virtual Reality as a process to explore Jung’s concept of the shadow. The lecture focuses on the findings and learning taken away from Phase 1, which will in turn shape the future direction of the research project. One major objective is to explore multiple Jungian concepts via gaming/VR to help introduce Jungian ideas to wider audiences, especially younger people. Friday evening will show how immersive virtual environments provide a secure container for active imagination and enable a “lived experience” of archetypal images and affective engagement. There will then be an exploration of the game environments used in a one-day research event and a summary of participants’ feedback with specific emphasis on Jung's shadow concept.
