The Evolution of Jungian Psychology: Foundations of Jung’s Work
February 14, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PST
CANCELLED – Due to illness, Gary Sparks has cancelled his appearance. Anyone who has paid in advance by credit card for the lecture and/or the workshop and/or CEUs will be reimbursed with a credit back to their card. Please send any questions to [email protected]. Thank you for your understanding. Friday’s presentation and discussion will explore an overview of how Jung’s psychology developed over the course of his lifetime, from conception to completion, focusing on his understanding of psychological transformation. We will begin with his personal crisis (1913–1928), following the main threads of his creative growth, through his last mature writing (1951–1954). Grasping the whole of his efforts gives us a broad view that can orient our future learning of his uniqueness. We will accordingly address how Jungian psychology facilitates personal healing.
