LITERATURE + LECTURES

The Jung Center of Houston presents Voices from C.G. Jung's Red Book.  Explore Jung's recently published account of his extraordinary inner journey in this presentation sponsored with the Texas Seminar of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts.

Join us for an evening with four senior Jungian analysts as they share some of the thoughts, feelings, and inspirations from their encounters with C.G. Jung's private journal, the red leather "Liber Novus." When The Red Book became available to the general public for the first time in 2009, thanks to the generosity of Jung's heirs and the unstinting work of The Philemon Foundation, we were given the gift of Jung's own exquisitely illustrated account of his descent into the world of the unconscious, the arena of psyche, of soul. There was no analyst companion for Jung in what he described as a "confrontation with the unconscious." Yet, as disturbing and painful as he found his terrifying and joyous travels in what he called "the land of the dead," he also said they formed the basis of "all my works, all my creative activity."

Discussion with the audience will follow the panel presentation.

Presenters include Wynette Barton, a Jungian analyst in private practice in Austin, Texas, and former Vice President of the I-RSJA; Dr. Myrna Little, a Jungian analyst in private practice in Dallas, Texas, and former Training Coordinator for the Texas Seminar of the I-RSJA; Dr. Carolyn Bates, a Jungian analyst in private practice in Austin, Texas, and current Training Coordinator of the Texas Seminar of the I-RSJA; and Mary Ley, a Jungian analyst in private practice in Austin, Texas, and current President of the Texas Seminar of the I-RSJA.
