Find what guides your individuation even in the darkest of times

We live in times of constant change and uncertainty, both personally and collectively. As we face these powerful social and environmental shifts, how do we hold on to our integrity and well-being? 

Jungian psychology offers unique guidance in accepting and navigating complexity. It can help us find the threads that lead us through the darkness toward becoming more fully ourselves. 

In this course, based on the recently released book Our Uncertain World: Challenges and Opportunities in a Dark Time, we will hear from respected Jungian writers. You will explore how to articulate your experiences of uncertainty and find your own language for the challenges and possibilities offered by these times.

This program is offered in collaboration with the Jung Center of Houston.

Course Description

We don’t get to choose the times we’re born into. Existentialist philosophers call this our thrownness: we’re placed in a specific moment, country, culture, community, family, language, and body. Nor do we get to choose the broad social currents or the movements of collective energy that often are only visible when we experience crises. This means that the things in our lives that appear stable hold a strong pull, and when that stability is shaken, it can feel deeply unsettling, even catastrophic.

Humans have lived through periods of profound change before–it is a bit of a fool’s game to try to compare our times to others. Yet, in just a brief moment of our evolutionary history, we’ve seen incredible advancements. We’ve harnessed the power of the automobile, antibiotics, and vast computational abilities. We can communicate instantly with anyone, start our day on one side of the planet and end it on the other, and access nearly all of humanity’s knowledge with a few clicks. At the same time, we also hold the power to make our planet uninhabitable, whether through nuclear conflict or the impacts of climate change.

In this course, we explore what it means to live in this particular moment of uncertainty, and how the insights of Jungian psychology are particularly helpful in navigating the change we are collectively experiencing. Six Jungian analysts and scholars will help you map the dynamic relationship between what Jung called the spirit of the times and the spirit of the depths. Learn to hold the tensions of our uncertain times and look for what transcendent possibilities might emerge.

In each session, we will look at the core themes of an essay drawn from the book Our Uncertain World: Challenges and Opportunities in a Dark Time. We’ll do this through interviews with its author about how these psychological dynamics are reflected in our personal and collective lives.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Discover how the urgent demands of our time are intertwined with the grounding presence of our inner depths.
  • Examine the deep psychic patterns underlying contemporary crises.
  • Gain insight into the paradoxical way in which the growth of consciousness has meant exile from the natural world and how simple practices can heal that split.
  • Explore how the difficult work of connecting with the suffering of others can deepen our psychological growth and inspire constructive, engaged social change.
