Carl Jung’s Alchemy
Carl Jung first turned to alchemy for personal illumination in coping

symbolism eventually suggested to Jung that there was a process in

own journey.

September event Featuring Terry Curtin
Friday night lecture, 6 September 2019, 8-10pm.
Jung and Meister Eckhart
Terry will reflect on how a 13th century Dominican theologian/mystic had such a profound impact on Carl Jung who said: Only in Meister Eckhart did I find the breath of life.
Memories, Dreams & Reflections, p87
Meister Eckhart (1260–1326) was a profound thinker and preacher
who pushed the boundaries of conventional church teachings by
focusing on the individual and their personal experience of God, as
opposed to dogma and ritual. This focus is consistent with Jung's
belief that one had to personally experience the objective, living
psyche/Self.

November event Featuring Dr Rajiv Singh
Friday evening lecture, 1st November 2019, 8-10pm
Dialogic Practice and Jung’s Concept of the Temenos
Rajiv in this talk will identify the commonalities between Jung’s concept of the Temenos — the inner space deep within us where soul-making takes place — and the practice of Open Dialogue (OD). The central clinical element of OD is Dialogic Practice which emphasizes conversations that allow the therapist to be “with” the person as opposed to holding conversations “about” the person.
