July 2021 Dear Friends, To my delight and amazement, our summer program, “Tools for Empowerment,” proved to be very popular–so much so that I had to close the enrollment! Jung had no use for “big.” “Small is beautiful” could have been his motto. So I will plan to offer the program again at some […]
June 2021 Dear Friends, At our base here in central Vermont summer is upon us–in theory: the weatherman predicts possible frost “in the colder hollows” even as we are about to bid May goodbye as I write this. In the U.S. we observe “Memorial Day” in late May, the “unofficial start of summer,” […]
May 2021 Dear Friends, Last year at this time we were in week 6 of quarantine, while this year widespread vaccinations (at least in Vermont) have cut the infection rate substantially. Here at the Jungian Center we listen closely to the experts, so we will not be returning to status quo ante any time […]

I want to assure everyone that we will maintain our Zoom capabilities going forward, so […]
December 31, 2020 Dear Friends, As I write this on the eve of a new year, the Roman god Janus comes to mind. Janus was the root of our word “January,” and he was imagined in Roman culture as a being with two faces. One face looked back, the other looked forward. I will do […]

November 2020 Dear Friends, Some followers of our blog have noticed that I’ve posted the November blog essay earlier than usual. That is because I got trained in how to post the essay as a pdf, so as to preserve the formatting. Thanks to the patient tutelage of Melissa Rose, I was able […]
29 September 2020 Dear Friends, With the months’ long lack of rain we’ve experienced here, I was worried our foliage season would be a washout, but no! To celebrate my 75th this past weekend I shared an entourage of cars in a foliage tour around the Northeast Kingdom and the trees were glorious! […]
