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.

The C. G. Jung Society of Sarasota’s historian
Carolyn Mutz and her husband, John, are snowbirds from Indiana. They were surprised to find Sarasota had a thriving Jung Society where they could continue their study of Jung, which began many years ago with the Chicago Society and then later in Indianapolis.
Carolyn’s career began as an educator who became involved in the emotional problems of students and families with very bright children who were unable to learn to read. Today we recognize this as dyslexia but in the 70s they were just labeled lazy or not trying hard enough or behavior problems by the schools and their parents. As a result of that experience, when her two children entered school she chose to get her master’s degree, not in education, but in psychology. Then, still feeling a piece was missing she pursued a degree in Pastoral Counseling at Christian Theological Seminary. There she was immersed in the psychology of C. G. Jung which continued to be a guiding piece of her counseling practice and of her personal life today.
