As the deadline nears, this is a vital reminder to submit your papers for the International Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS) Online Conference 2025, themed Jung & Vital Force, scheduled for late 2025. Inspired by C.G. Jung’s vision of the psyche as an energetic system fueling transformation, this conference delves into the vital force—its expressions in individual and collective life amid polarization, ecological crises, and technological shifts. Jung saw unconscious energies as catalysts for growth, prompting questions: Is this force a psychological current, spiritual essence, or cultural phenomenon? Topics span psyche-soma interplay, gender identity evolution, the shadow’s impact, creativity’s symbolic power, and vitality’s role in individuation and cultural renewal.
The Call for Papers, due by July 31, 2025, invites 300-word abstracts and 150-word bios via this GoogleDocs form, focusing on Jungian and post-Jungian perspectives. Presentations, in English, require a registration fee for participants.
