Mission and Objectives
The mission of The Jungian Center for the Spiritual Sciences is to offer whole-person learning—learning that engages not only the mind, but also the heart, soul, and spirit—to support the individuation of adults of all ages and backgrounds. Toward the fulfillment of this mission, the Center has the following goals:
• to educate: to draw out (ex + ducere) the innate gifts and talents from students, and to support the development of these gifts and talents
• to train: to introduce students to a variety of spiritual, intellectual, psychological and physical disciplines, in person-centered experiential formats
• to transform: to foster deep change and growth in all members of our learning community, faculty, staff, students, and scholars-in-residence, by modeling a new form of learning and encouraging each person in his/her spiritual journey
• to meld the treasury of ancient wisdom and Jungian theory with discoveries in modern science to expand awareness, change perspectives and empower individuals
• to model the process of living and working under the direction of the psyche
• to support the individuation of all members of the Center’s community
• to encourage intellectual discovery, beyond the “sylvan grooves of academe,” via an interdisciplinary curriculum derived from a holistic philosophy of education
• to foster research in fields related to the core curriculum (e.g. in frontier science, archetypal theory, Jungiana, creativity, holistic health, esoterica, arcana, spirituality)
• to sponsor conferences, colloquia, seminars and other gatherings of like-minded people
• to support a community of life-long learners
• to provide a restorative environment for scholars, artists, scientists and other creative persons who are attuned to the goals and values of the Jungian Center
• to work for a world that works for everyone
