Description

Locally based in Everett, Washington, Dr. Lockhart—Jungian analyst, trainer, scholar, writer, editor, and publisher over more than 50 years—has generously offered to use a question and answer format to invite discussion and share his extensive Jungian knowledge with participants.

The first session will engage with Dr. Lockhart ‘s Appassionato for the Imagination. In this essay, Dr. Lockhart discusses the relationship between Jung’s Red Book, modern art, and the concept of Other. From this perspective, Dr. Lockhart asks for us today,

“How…and in what way, can the Red Book be a guide?”

Many in the Jungian community of the Pacific Northwest are familiar with the work of Russell Lockhart, Ph.D. After serving as the Director of Training at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and Research Clinician at the Camarillo State Hospital, he moved to the Pacific Northwest, where he became an analyst, mentor, colleague and friend to many people who were searching for heart and meaning in the midst of intense personal and cultural transformation.  

What many do not know is that the influential writing in two of his books, Words as Eggs: Psyche in Language and Clinic, and Psyche Speaks: A Jungian Approach to Self and World, only scratch the surface of Russell Lockhart’s creativity. Artist, poet, publisher, novelist, and much more, Dr. Lockhart is a catalyst of the unconscious. We deeply appreciate Dr. Lockhart’s support of the Seattle Jung Society’s mission “To Liberate Soul in Service to the Great Turning” by making this archive available only to current members of the Society.

Dr. Lockhart describes his hopes for the Archive as follows:

     “I like to think of the archive as a “permanent home.” The C. G. Jung Society of Seattle graciously has offered such a permanent home for my writing and the project has begun. In the online archive, you will find my books (both published and in progress), essays, interviews, book reviews, poetry, art, novels, forewords, afterwords, endorsements, blog resources, items of historical interest, and other things to be determined. Moreover, I intend to make the archive not just a static collection, but an interactive place where I will encourage your comments and observations and actively engage with you. These interactive activities will include periodic conversaziones, reflections, teachings, and other forms as they arise. I am one of the oldest Jungian analysts now and I like to share not only my own history but the history of Jungian psychology as I have lived and known it. I welcome your participation in the archive, and I welcome your emails at ral@ralockhart.com.”
