Jung, Synchronicity and the New Sciences
September 19, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PDT
Jung had a deep interest in how modern science related to psyche. He worked closely with physicist Wolfgang Pauli to explore how psyche and matter are interconnected, in particular with regard to synchronicity. The discoveries of quantum physics, relativity theory and complex systems theory have radically revised how we see and know our world. We will explore the essential dimensions of the ‘new’ sciences and how they intersect with Jungian psychology. We will consider how life is rich in potentialities and parallel possibilities. We then discuss how synchronicity arises in our lives, and how the unconscious dwells in a realm outside of time and space. Film stories will be used to explore these various concepts.
