Who is Carl Jung?
|
"The self stands for the essence of individuation, and
since individuation is impossible without a relationship to one's environment,
it is found among those of like mind with whom individual relations can be
established."
Carl Gustav Jung
The Collected Works, 1959, Volume 9ii

 Carl
Jung was a physician, psychiatrist and true renaissance man who gave us such
concepts as complex, archetype, collective unconscious, introvert and
extrovert. He used dreams, myths and imagination to explore the psyche.
Deeply committed to the dignity, autonomy and growth of the
individual, Jung's thoughts and writings span the fields of psychology,
literature, sociology, ethics, religion and philosophy. Jung's psychology
has much to offer to those individuals who seek the consciousness and wisdom of
their inner journey.
Jung believed that the search for meaning in life is a primary one in
any fully lived human life. This process of living fully, as who we are
meant to be, is the process of individuation. Jungian Venture's aim is to
support each person's journey through her or his own individuation process.
