Latest essay and news from The Jungian Center for the Spiritual Sciences
March 1, 2026
Dear Friends,
As March of 2026 begins Mercury is retrograde, that interval several times a year when Mercury-related things--travel, communications, computer functions and healing endeavors--can get confused. These retrogradations are usually three weeks long, and knowing this, I hope our Jungian Center website works normally. The blog essay for this month is: Jung on Science and Scientism.
March is always a transitional time, like September an equinox month, and a month of changing seasons, but March (named for Mars, the god of war) is harsher than the Fall transition. March can bring us some of our worst blizzards, and it always seems, in these northern climes, to be windy. A good time to enjoy indoor activities, like our upcoming courses.
I hope you enjoy the variety of programs we have on tap for this month, and be safe in snow, rain, ice and wind.
Warmly,
Sue

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.
