THE RED BOOK. A Seminar with Bette Joram, Ph.D.

$10.00

As Jung wrestled with powerful images and experiences sent forth by the unconscious, he was “taken to the mat” again and again.  As he sweated it out intellectually, physically, morally, and spiritually, within these pages, so will we. As we read and discuss The Red Book together, we, too, will struggle with the implications of this material for our own understanding of ourselves, the times we live in, and the meaning and consequences that our own encounters with the unconscious present to us, and the way the unconscious effects society at large. The Red Book lays the groundwork in which Jung began to formulate the constructs which later appear throughout his Collected Works.

ONLINE

2nd and 4th Wednesdays

Starting June 12, 2024

Time: 7 – 8:30 PM Pacific Time

Cost:  $ 10/ session

Description

“THE YEARS OF WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU, when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this.  It began at that time and the later details hardly matter anymore.  My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me.  That was the stuff and material for more than only one life.  Everything later was merely the outer classification, the scientific elaboration, and the integration into life.  But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.” – C.G. Jung, 1957
