ABOUT US
The C. G. Jung Society of Sarasota is a not-for-profit educational group for the purpose of studying the psychology of C. G. Jung. It is open to all persons with an interest in Jung. All programs and activities of the Society are offered for educational purposes only and do not constitute personal therapy for any participant.
OUR MISSION
The C. G. Jung Society of Sarasota, established in 1995, endeavors to encourage personal growth and raise the consciousness of individuals of all ages. Lectures, workshops and study groups focus on the works inspired by the psychology of C. G. Jung.
Carl Gustav Jung, one of the most influential thinkers of our time, profoundly influenced all aspects of our modern culture, including medicine, religion, philosophy, literature and art. In the field of psychoanalysis, Jung developed his own system of analytical psychology. Through his pioneering theories of personality and the unconscious, Jung is responsible for many terms we now consider common: the archetype and the collective unconscious, introvert and extravert, anima and animus, synchronicity and individuation, even New Age spirituality. Over the years, Jung’s ideas about dream interpretation, the integration of the psyche as the goal of personal development, and the common roots of all human mythologies have achieved world recognition.
