Going deep into depth psychology! This group is about helping to encounter and discuss the key concepts of Jungian psychology. Please note this is an purely intellectual and artistic endeavor, feel free to join.

Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss (1875-1961) psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who is famous for his works on depth psychology and founding of analytical psychology. While perusing an academic career he became acquainted with Sigmund Freud, who regarded Jung as his successor to move the field of psychoanalysis forward. After years their friendship ended, due in part of Jung’s insistence to pursue fringe interests as alchemy, astrology and the occult. Generating concepts such as collective unconscious, ahadow, anima, synchronicity and many more, Jung always had a strong presence in pop culture. This group is intended to explore these concepts to understand them better. Every event while focus on specific concepts as they were introduced by Jung and how they still pop up in current discussions and events.

So you are interested in psychology and especially depth psychology? This is the group for you.

This group and its events are free and will always be free. Anybody can join regardless of background (though some English skills are strongly advised). This is a private endeavor a not affiliated with any organization or company.

“the appearance of an archetype in our psychology is always a moment of the greatest danger as well as the greatest hope.” C.G. Jung

There are patterns deep inside the human psyche that are older than humans. They were experienced and codified by past cultures as mythology, stories and religion. These patterns of behavior are described by Jung as archetypes. Join this event to learn more about the foundation of the collective unconscious.

This event will consist of two parts:
1. A presentation part by me (30-45 minutes), where elaborate on Jung’s ideas about the topic for the event using quotes from his whole body of work
2. A discussion part about the just presented topic, Jungian ideas or anything interesting that might come up

“The inferior function contains the priceless treasure of life force and therefore it is so important to bring it up. It is not for vulgar or criminal purposes, for the sake of its evil, that I try to bring out the swine or the criminal in people-whatever kindly critics may think.” - C.G. Jung

For Jung our dark and hidden parts are the gate to personal development. The most immediate path we have is our inferior function with which we can pull up the complete unconscious from our psyche. In this event we will explore this function and why inferior doesn’t mean lesser.

This event will consist of two parts:
1. A presentation part by me (30-45 minutes), where elaborate on Jung’s ideas about the topic for the event using quotes from his whole body of work
