Beholding images from The Red Book

In Memories, Dreams, Reflections Jung writes, “I once asked myself, ‘What am I really doing? Certainly it has nothing to do with science. But then what is it?’ Whereupon a voice within me said, ‘It is art.’”

The Red Book is full of vibrant images, paintings Jung embarked upon as he dove into the Unconscious to swim in the depths. Though he wrestled with the term “art” being applied to what he was doing (see the rest of the chapter "Confrontation with the Unconscious"), he ultimately produced beautiful images from his own Unconscious, symbols rich with ancient meaning and modern significance. 

This Sunday we will be allowing ourselves an opportunity to pause, to contemplate, to behold some of the images from The Red Book. This will be part active imagination, part discussion. And as always we will end by tending a dream. 

Join us this Sunday for our Fourth Sunday Jung Dream and Discussion group.

We will be meeting online through Zoom on Sunday, August 22 from 3-5pm MST!
