Programme Overview

The Applied Jungian Academy is a structured, learning journey designed for the exploration of Jungian psychology as a lived practice. 

Built on over a decade's worth of course material, the Academy was conceived as a subscription-based entry point for students wanting to deepen their exploration of Jung's rich body of work. 

Each month combines curated, self-paced study material with live sessions and relational spaces for shared inquiry, discussion, and symbolic exploration. 

Moving away from abstract theory and toward applied psychology, the Academy presents an opportunity for ongoing engagement with your inner life, supported by a wider learning community. 

How It Works

The Academy is a rolling monthly subscription at $30 a month, where you can cancel anytime. When you join, you begin with the current month's theme and continue forward from there, with new material, live sessions, and forum access unlocking each month you're subscribed.

Anima and Animus Part 2
“Though the effects of anima and animus can be made conscious, they themselves are factors transcending consciousness and beyond the reach of perception and volition“ — C.G. Jung 
The Persona
“It is probably no accident that our modern notions of “personal” and “personality” derive from the word persona. I can assert that my ego is personal or a personality, and in exactly the same sense I can say that my persona is a personality with which I identify myself more or less. The fact that I then possess two personalities is not so remarkable, since every autonomous or even relatively autonomous complex has the peculiarity of appearing as a personality, i.e., of being personified.” (CW Vol 7, par 312)
Dreams and Interpretation
“It is only in modern times that the dream, this fleeting and insignificant-looking product of the psyche, has met with such profound contempt. Formerly it was esteemed as a harbinger of fate, a portent and comforter, a messenger of the gods. Now we see it as the emissary of the unconscious, whose task it is to reveal the secrets that are hidden from the conscious mind, and this it does with astounding completeness.“ (CW Vol 7, par 21)
Active Imagination
“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
“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)
Psychoanalytic Defenses
“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 Counter Transference
“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
“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 Four Steps of Transformation
“I would venture to regard the sum total of our findings under the aspect of four stages, namely confession, elucidation, education and transformation” (CW Vol 16, par 122)
Typology
“To be quite accurate, human nature is simply what it is; it has its dark and its light sides. The sum of all colours is grey - light on a dark background or dark on light.” — C.G Jung
The Inferior Function in Typology
“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
“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
“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
“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)
Individuation
“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
“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)
Personal Myth
“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)
