What we’re about
"Jung's psychology offers not only a method for psychological healing of individuals but also a new world view for Western Man which holds out the possibility for healing the split in the contemporary collective psyche". ( Edward Edinger, 1998 )
Meet and gather with other Jungian/Analytical & Transpersonal/Depth/Existential enthusiasts. Explore Jung's oeuvre, his life and his luminous ideas on the human psyche with similiar-minded individuals in a non-judgmental, quasi-studious and supportive community. Lets gather and discuss his life, his well known theories that raise the question of the meaning of life. Recollect and reunite with the Archetypes and take one step closer to the gnosis of Self-realization.
Let us together leave each meetup/conversation with a perspective wider, deeper, and richer than the one we had when entering it.
PLEASE NOTE :
As a member, you must be conscientious with the reading assignments and exercise some degree of studiousness. And HONOR your RSVPs.
RSVPs are a riddle and have become somewhat problematic, particularly when a "waitlist" is required, due to limited-space at some venues (ie: Kristine Mann Library)
Please HONOR your rsvp.
A "no" is only necessary when you change a YES rsvp to a NO.
Unfortunately, after 6 years of meet-up experience, I am compelled to closely monitor RSVPs (thanks to help from asst. organizers). If you chronically do not honor your YES rsvp, and a wailist is necessary, I will act accordingly. For example, I may change your rsvp to accommodate a more reliable member, possibly a new member.
I prefer a committed membership, as anyone would.
If you are on a "waitlist", please DO NOT ATTEND the event. However, you are free to contact me and we will make a final decision.
I know this may sound silly, but again; past experiences are compelling me.
Lastly. Completion of assigned readings are HIGHLY preferred, not required. Lack of reading tends to contribute to the derailment of discussions at meet-ups.

Again, I want to welcome everyone with an affinity for the Analytical approach and the transpersonal and depth psychologies.
Thank you for your attention and for joining this reading and conversation group.
Join us sooner than later.

See all- "Man and His Symbols" by CG Jung (10-minute YouTube video)Link visible for attendees
CG Jung was involved in a few projects during the final years of his life. "Man and His Symbols" was one of them. Jung died in 1961, Man and His Symbols was published in 1964. It originated from a BBC "Face to Face" interview in 1959 with John Freeman. I encourage you to watch that interview (~39 minutes) as well.
Tonight's Meetup will be a discussion on the content of the material in the 10 minutes YouTube video on "Man and His Symbols." (see below for inserted youtube link).
I have been reading and studying Jung's Depth Psychology since the mid 1980s. In my mind, I still assert that Man and His Symbol is one of the best introductions to Jungian Thought.
So please watch it, and then join us for a discussion.
