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.
Gnostic Vision and the VII Sermons – Part I
We will briefly introduce the rediscovered Gnostic texts, examine their historical origins, and discuss Jung’s early encounters with this ancient material. As Jung stated, “The Gnostics were concerned with the problem of archetypes. They made a peculiar philosophy of it, as everybody makes a peculiar philosophy of it when he comes across it naïvely and doesn't know that the archetypes are structural elements of the unconscious psyche.”
We will engage a psychologically informed consideration of Gnosticism in terms of its primary experiential roots, and then consider how a “hermeneutics of archetypal vision” was foundational to the Gnosis, to Jung’s understanding of Gnostic tradition, and to the roots of his Septem Sermones ad Mortuos.
