Bring the gift that is you into the world

Life wants to move through you, to be shaped by you. There is something, some energy, some vision that only you can give body and voice to. 

Twelve inspiring depth psychology teachers share their hard-won insights. Each of them brings a unique perspective on answering the call and living a life connected to your purpose. 

Course Description

Human beings, irrespective of where we live or where we go, experience the desire to fulfill our life’s purpose. This deep-rooted desire implores us to be of service to something larger than ourselves. Like a beacon, it urges us to follow the path before us, to bring our unique gifts into the world.

Jungian psychology attests to this – we carry within us a gift that we are invited to deliver to the larger community. When we honor this call, we experience purpose, and it feels like we’re on the road we are meant to take. Jung called this the individuation process – the process of conscious psychological growth.

The call can however, be elusive at times, and we can easily miss it if we do not know how it manifests. Sometimes, the call can show up in crisis, heartbreak, disease, or death. Other times, it appears in dreams and synchronous events. We want to be attentive to the complexities of life and see how the call reveals itself.

Individuals who respond to their true calling find the world turning into a mystical and nurturing place. Synchronistic events and miracles come into being, help comes in mysterious, supernatural forms, and connections appear where there were none before.

The Call & Purpose course is designed to help you recognize, respond, and honor the call. Teachers from different traditions have come together in this course to provide perspectives and practical tools to deepen your relationship with your life’s purpose.

This course is interview-style. Machiel Klerk and Akke-Jeanne Klerk – Jung Platform founders and siblings –spoke with these experts to create the Call & Purpose Summit. This course is a remastering of that summit.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Recognize and engage with your unique call and Learn about ‘coincidence’ and serendipity as signposts on your personal journey.
  • Discover your personal myth and learn about your genius and turn towards what you deeply love and move in the direction where you feel most alive.
  • Distinguish between what’s expected of you from what wants to come through you.
  • Recognize the call to a new life in crises like heartbreak, illness, adolescence and mid-life identity concerns.
  • Describe the value of authenticity, enjoyment and even being lost as vital to your purpose.
  • Appreciate dreams, myths and synchronicities as signposts to what wants to come to life through you.
