Jungian Keynotes Lecture Series September 2026

Facing Contemporary Challenges

The world today is changing rapidly and facing many interrelated challenges. As Jung asserted decades ago, our time is characterized by a loss of connection to soul and nature. What answers and insights can Jungian psychology provide in a technocratic world threatened by multiple civilizational crises: conflicts and wars waging in more and more regions; an 'eternal growth' paradigm leading to ecological disruption that jeopardizes our basis of existence; digital media that impair us cognitively and psychologically with far-reaching consequences; social inequality and forced migration. Wisdom is increasingly outvalued by (artificial) intelligence, and truth is distorted and even abandoned in the interests of power.

This series of eight lectures addresses some of these issues. What does this situation mean for us as analysts and as human beings? How does it affect people in general, but also our daily sessions with patients and analysands? How can we understand current societal and ecological problems psychologically and symbolically? How can Analytical Psychology help us to navigate the deep social, cultural, technological and psychological transformations of our time? How can we face our own shadow and darkness instead of projecting it onto others? How can we (re)align ourselves with the Self and find meaning in the midst of uncertainty, chaos and fear?

All Jungian Keynotes lectures are held on-site and broadcast live on Zoom. Purchase Zoom attendance below.
