What we’re about
“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” – C.G. Jung. Join Oregon Friends of Jung and explore the ideas of pioneering Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. We host lectures and workshops to nourish hungry souls on the inner journey. Since 1974, we’ve brought Jungian thought-leaders from around the world to Portland - from Marion Woodman to James Hillman to Joseph Campbell. Members receive free admission to eight Friday evening lectures as well as discounts on Saturday workshops, and an invitation to our annual Light-Hearted Evening. Come join us!

See all- The Symbolic Life: Is It a Gift? - A Talk with Ann Belford UlanovUnity Church of Portland, Portland, OR
About this talk:
Two processes go on in us simultaneously from birth till death. The first is a personal process Jung calls individuation where we reach to become all of who we are, including mistakes, struggles, talents, uniqueness and an example of shared human patterns Jung calls archetypes. The second process is the psyche’s goal to move us toward finding not our wholeness but our place in the wholeness of reality. When these two processes meet, symbols get born and grow powerful. We will explore such symbols — their dangers and their gifts.

About this workshop:
What a disturbing title! Some days we feel foundations we have relied upon are upended; some nights we fear what can we depend on? Can we trust that truth is accessible and real? How will our children manage? Personal and collective problems mix together. What does the psyche say? How do we discern the archetypal power in the midst of personal experience? We will take up gifts psyche offers in the midst of uncertainty by exploring recalling projections, integrative projections, locality, naming, new forms of communication resulting from placement of the ego and a new way to be liberated from a dogging complex. Psyche responds to uncertainty with creative gestures.
