Have you ever wondered what our dreams and imagination can say about our inner psychology? Join us for an illuminating introduction to the psychology of Carl Jung and his groundbreaking ideas about the creative, healing power of the unconscious. Afounding father of depth psychology, Jung was a maverick thinker, artist andvisionary whose ideas were ahead of his time. His extensive studies of ancientreligions and mythologies, alongside his deep dream work, brought him to the edgeof sanity. Through this work, he developed the pioneering concepts of the collectiveunconscious, the archetypes (including the shadow and the self), synchronicity,individuation, creative self-realisation and more.
In this talk, well explore key Jungian concepts in relation to how Jung combined ancient Eastern wisdom with Western psychology. Well learn how this can be understood as a form of sacred science reflecting the spiritual crisis of late-stage capitalism and how Jungs thought places us inside a larger reality transcending space and time. Well look at the instrumental role of imagination, dreams and symbols in Jungs approach to psychoanalysis, including his innovative technique of active imagination or dreaming awake. Well consider how Jungs psychoanalysis is still relevant today as a powerful, transformative tool to access the unknown and facilitate creativity in support of both individual and collective growth.
