Forever Jung? C.G. Jung’s Continued Relevance During Challenging Times

Hosted by the Department of East-West Psychology in collaboration with The C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco

As we navigate an era of rapid change and deep uncertainty, the insights of C.G. Jung continue to offer profound guidance for both the individual and the collective. In honor of Jung's 150th birthday, this conference at CIIS brings together scholars, practitioners, and depth psychology enthusiasts to explore Jung’s enduring influence on our understanding of psyche and its relationship to society, culture, technology and nature at this moment in time. Through engaging talks, thought-provoking discussions, experiential inquiries, and community exploration, we will examine the contemporary application and relevance of Jung’s ideas in psychology, spirituality, eco-psychology and social transformation. 

Join us at CIIS to celebrate Jung’s enduring legacy and explore how his psychology continues to offer meaningful perspectives on personal growth, collective healing, and cultural transformation during these challenging times.

Richard Tarnas and John Beebe
