Who was Carl Jung?
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychologist who lived from 1875 to 1961. He recognized the richness of unconscious processes, and worked diligently to explore the human psyche. He is known for his discoveries of the persona, the shadow, complexes and archetypes. He also developed methods of entering into a dialogue with the unconscious through dreams, active imagination, and the arts. His work is very relevant for today’s world, which calls out for connection to the unconscious.

What is Jungian Psychology?
Jungian psychology opens a doorway to our unconscious. Jung viewed the unconscious as a source of creativity and spiritual wholeness. The unconscious also holds aspects of ourselves that can prevent us from connecting to our creativity. Thus, our challenge in life is to discover these unknown aspects within our psyche, and in doing so, to become a whole person. Jung called this process the way of individuation. Thus, Jungian psychology is about our personal journey towards wholeness, a journey that requires a moral commitment to self-discovery.
