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.
The VII Sermons to the Dead: A Dramatic Reading with Musical Accompaniment
The Seven Sermons to the Dead was written by C. G. Jung in the context of his experimentation with the unconscious, leading to The Black Books and subsequently to the creation of Liber Novus (The Red Book). The text of this dramatic reading is recorded in the third book of Liber Novus, following Liber Primus and Liber Secundus, called Scrutinies.
The Sermons weave together two themes which had emerged separately for Jung: a cosmological vision revealed to him by his soul on 16th January 1916; and repeated encounters with the Dead which culminated in a parapsychological event at his house in Küsnacht. The Dead needed acceptance and salvation. The response was a seven part education of the Dead by Jung’s inner teacher Philemon, in which the path of individuation is introduced to them.
Our year of focus on The Seven Sermons would be incomplete without an immersive experience of the Sermons as spoken word. We believe that speaking the text out loud while listening together in a group, will bring the material to life in a way that cannot be achieved by silent reading. For Jung himself, this was a matter of lived experience.
