Latest essay and news from The Jungian Center for the Spiritual Sciences

Dear Friends,
Winter hangs on here in Vermont, with leaden skies, snow and ice. The Coast Pilot describes Spring in New England as "disagreeable," and that is no exaggeration: "mud season" beckons as the snows begin to melt, leaving non-paved surfaces both rutted and slippery. Enjoy your daffodils and tulips, you who live in more southerly climes!
The Jungian Center carries on, despite the weather (and the shift to a new group of tech specialists, which led to some glitches in our website last month). Below is the list of our upcoming courses in April and May, along with the URL to our April blog essay, "Jung on Mistakes and Errors."
A basic overview of Jung, the man, his thought and his legacy to psychology and our world. This course introduces key Jungian concepts including the shadow, anima/animus, archetypes, personality types, the collective unconscious, individuation and dream interpretation.
Participants will gain practical experience working with dreams, identifying personality types and understanding archetypal patterns.

JUNG ON AMERICA - A Collection of Essays in Print
Paperback
What would Jung think of our “Too-Big-to-Fail” institutions?
What would Jung make of our American exceptionalism?
How would Jung describe America’s shadow?
What about the idea of reparations?
These and other similar questions drawn from the daily headlines have been posed by students at the Jungian Center for the Spiritual Sciences, and they form the substance of this book. Although Carl Jung died in 1961, his intuition and wisdom transcend time and makes his writings as pertinent now as it was in the twentieth century. So we can draw upon his ideas as we grapple with the challenges we face now.
