Click here to register!

Each year the Calgary Jung Society hosts a series of seminars covering the core concepts of C. G. Jung's work, including such theories as ego, shadow, conscious and unconscious, projection, and the role of dream interpretation.

This fascinating series is hosted in a small discussion group, bringing the concepts to life.

Special emphasis will be on discovering how Jungian theory helps in our relationships with ourselves and with others. Throughout the discussion, we will seek and give examples of our everyday experiences.
