Unknowable Cosmic Reality: What is it and why is it important for Jungian Analysis? Hybrid Session
The spiritual aspect of Jung’s work lies to some degree in the collective shadow of Jungian Analysts, a direct inheritance from Jung’s ambivalent attempt to be taken seriously as a scientist.
Although Jung knew God to exist (though not as traditionally conceived) he avoided reference to the reality of God in his published papers. This presentation will explore the concept of the Infinite, the mystery that lies beyond comprehension or explanation, and its vital relevance to Jungian analytic practice, particularly in reference to the concept of the Self.
Presenter is Sally Kingsland. Many Friends will remember Sally and her son Julian and daughter Harriet, who were very active in Canberra Meeting for many years before they went to California for several years. Harriet has reconnected with us at Turner Meeting House, and with JYFs. She will be attending Friends School for Years 10-12, commencing January 2027.
Sally is a Jungian psychotherapist and spiritual director with a private practice in Lyneham. She works with adults and also offers sandplay. Having been on an explicit path of psychospiritual development for over 25 years Sally has connections to and experience with a number of spiritual traditions. She has two Masters of Public Health and has undertaken training with the Australian and NZ Association of Psychotherapists. Sally is a Candidate in training with the Australian and NZ Society of Jungian Analysts (ANZSJA).
