The Foundation Modules
Certificate Course in Applied Jungian Psychology
This is the 10th year anniversary of this lecture series launched in 2013. This completely revised and updated series, running over the 2023 -2024 calendar years, will introduce the student to the theory and applications of Applied Jungian Psychology.
Applied Jungian Psychology is an interpretation of classical and post-Jungian psychology, depth-psychology, and the practice of applying these bodies of thinking as a form of psychoeducation outside of clinical practice or academia. This is done with a focus on the promotion of consciousness, meaning and individuation in the student.
The Applied Jung Foundation Modules launched in February 2023 and are taught by our Head of Learning Stephen Anthony Farah MA.

The Mundus Imaginalis: Part 2 Active Imagination
Date and Time: Saturday 21st, 2023 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“It is an undeniable psychological fact that the more one concentrates on one’s unconscious contents the more they become charged with energy; they become vitalized, as if illuminated from within. In fact they turn into something like a substitute reality. In analytical psychology we make methodical use of this phenomenon. I have called the method “active imagination.” (CW 11 par 793)

The Symbolic Life
Date and Time: Saturday 18th, 2023 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“A symbol is an indefinite expression with many meanings, pointing to something not easily defined and therefore not fully known. But the sign always has a fixed meaning, because it is a conventional abbreviation for, or a commonly accepted indication of, something known.” (CW Vol 5, par 180)

The Psychoanalytic Defenses
Date and Time: Saturday 17th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“As anyone who has been in long-term analysis knows, this process of encountering the shadow is an ongoing work and takes immense stamina and commitment. The ego’s self-protective defenses resist violently. Purgatory is a place of salutary and meaningful suffering, unlike the suffering that we see in Inferno.” (Murray Stein, The Mystery of Transformation, pg. 40)

Transference and Countertransference
Date and Time: Saturday 16th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“Transference, strictly, as I have already said, is a projection which happens between two individuals and which, as a rule, is of an emotional and compulsory nature. Emotions in themselves are always in some degree overwhelming for the subject, because they are involuntary conditions which override the intentions of the ego. Moreover, they cling to the subject, and he cannot detach them from himself. Yet this involuntary condition of the subject is at the same time projected into the object, and through that a bond is established which cannot be broken, and exercises a compulsory influence upon the subject.” (CW 18, par 316)

Alchemy and the Four Stages of Transformation
Date and Time: Saturday 20th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York
“Since the endeavours of our psychology are so extraordinarily heterogeneous… I would venture to regard the sum total of our findings under the aspect of four stages, namely, confession, elucidation, education, and transformation.” (CW 16, par 122)

The Inferior Function in Jungian Typology
Date and Time: Saturday 18th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“In a similar way, we are afraid of our inferior functions. If you take a typical intellectual who is terribly afraid of falling in love, you will think his fear very foolish. But he is most probably right, because he will very likely make foolish nonsense when he falls in love. He will be caught most certainly, because his feeling only reacts to an archaic or to a dangerous type of woman.” (CW 18, par 35)

The Self and the Second Personality
Date and Time: Saturday 15th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“Once, while I was in my laboratory and reflecting again upon these questions, the devil whispered to me that I would be justified in publishing the results of my experiments and my conclusions without mentioning Freud. After all, I had worked out my experiments long before I understood his work. But then I heard the voice of my second personality: “If you do a thing like that, as if you had no knowledge of Freud, it would be a piece of trickery. You cannot build your life upon a lie.” With that, the question was settled.” (C.G. Jung; Memories, dreams, reflections; pg. 148)

Paradox and the Transcendent Function
Date and Time: Saturday 20th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“The cooperation of conscious reasoning with the data of the unconscious is called the “transcendent function” (cf. Psychological Types, par. 828).20 This function progressively unites the opposites. Psychotherapy makes use of it to heal neurotic dissociations, but this function had already served as the basis of Hermetic philosophy for seventeen centuries. Besides this, it is a natural and spontaneous phenomenon, part of the process of individuation. Psychology has no proof that this process does not unfold itself at the instigation of God’s will.” (CW 18, par 1554)

The Rosarium Philosophorum
Date and Time: Saturday 17th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York
“I had very soon seen that analytical psychology coincided in a most curious way with alchemy. The experiences of the al- chemists were, in a sense, my experiences, and their world was my world. This was, of course, a momentous discovery: I had stumbled upon the historical counterpart of my psychology of the unconscious. The possibility of a comparison with alchemy, and the uninterrupted intellectual chain back to Gnosticism, gave substance to my psychology.” (C.G. Jung; Memories, dreams, reflections; pg. 205)
21 September 2024
Individuation
Date and Time: Saturday 21st, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“There is a destination, a possible goal, beyond the alternative stages dealt with in our last chapter. That is the way of individuation. Individuation means becoming an “individual,” and, in so far as “individuality” embraces our innermost, last, and incomparable uniqueness, it also implies becoming one’s own self. We could therefore translate individuation as “coming to selfhood” or “self-realization.“ (CW Vol 7, par 266)

Synchronicity and the Mysterium Coniunctionis
Date and Time: Saturday 19th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“In Mysterium Coniunctionis my psychology was at last given its place in reality and established upon its historical foundations. Thus my task was finished, my work done, and now it can stand. The moment I touched bottom, I reached the bounds of scientific understanding, the transcendental, the nature of the arche- type per se, concerning which no further scientific statements can be made.” (C.G. Jung; Memories, dreams, reflections; pg. 221)
16 November 2024
Personal Myth
Date and Time: Saturday 16th, 2024 at 2 pm London/9 am New York.
“Thus it is that I have now undertaken, in my eighty-third year, to tell my personal myth, I can only make direct state- ments, only “tell stories/’ Whether or not the stories are “true” is not the problem. The only question is whether what I tell is my fable, my truth.” (C.G. Jung; Memories, dreams, reflections; pg. 3)
