Focusing on one of the most significant and critical issues facing the world today, this important book explores multiple aspects of climate change through the use of Jungian symbols and “signs” of this environmental shift, while diving deep into the politics of loss in reaction to climate chaos, uncertainty, and ambiguity.
Despite the imminent threat of ecological crisis, many treat this existential crisis as something that can be pushed to the side, ignored, and denie…
At no other point in the history of humanity has ecological survival been so imminently threatened by climate crises. Join three leading scholars and environmental activists for an emerging and inspired vision of a possible path forward as we shift from crisis to consciousness and chaos to cosmos.
Climate Chaos and the Soul of the World
Jeffrey T. Kiehl
“Our psyche is set up in accord with the structure of the universe, and what happens in the macrocosm likewise happens in the …
Often emerging in times of individual or collective crisis, myth and cultural stories help people process trauma, build resilience, and find meaning in overwhelming experiences. Despite their profound impact on psychological well-being, many psychotherapists struggle to understand and incorporate the power of myth and cultural stories into their clinical practice.
In this workshop, participants will explore the many ways Pele– the revered Hawaiian goddess of fi…
Creativity—the drive for connections and regeneration through new combinations—is the essence of life. Humans share this drive with all organisms at the neurobiological level; it is basic to our desire to attach and connect with others, to procreate, and to dream. This drive to generate meaning by relating one thing to another is also fundamental to the automatic and unconscious “connection making process” of learning.
The powerful drives generally associated with cr…
This course is designed to offer the participants an overview of C. G. Jung’s thoughts while exploring what I call a “decolonial option” to his work. It is in a sense a form of epistemological resistance to the colonialist and imperialist aims that prevent underrepresented minorities from flourishing in the academic community. This course aims to offer a decolonial option to the traditional view of Jungian Studies. A decolonial option means to challenge the Eurocentric v…
…“Rational argument can be conducted with some prospect of success only so long as the emotionality of a given situation does not exceed a certain critical degree. If the affective temperature rises above this level, the possibility of reason’s having any effect ceases and its place is taken by slogans and chimerical wish-fantasies, That is to say, a sort of collective possession results which rapidly develops into a psychic epidemic.”
– Carl Jung, The Undiscovered
with John Ensign, Ph.D.
A recurrent theme throughout Jung’s life was his deep engagement with the Christian tradition and the Christ-image, which he saw as the primary symbol of the Self in Western culture. Surprisingly, this crucial dimension of his work is largely missing from contemporary Jungian discourse. By contrast, there is much interest in Jung within progressive Christian circle but little deep understanding of his thought and ways that it stands in tension w…
Discovering Your True Selves Through Analog Role-Playing
This course will explore the potential for psychological growth through analog role-playing games (RPGs). These games involve spontaneous, improvisational co-creation in which participants enact characters in a fictional world. These characters can be quite similar to their self-concept or distinct. Such play allows for a process of group individuation to occur, in which players participate in a form of ac…

Inspired by my work with the Irish mythologist, Sharon Blackie, the Earth Allies process encourages people to connect deeply with the World around them for healing of both person and place. This revolutionary process encourages people to identify the parts of their landscape or animals they are attracted to and then determine what stories they had to share. In order to heal the planet, we need new myths—not only to reconnect us to the planet, but also to discover parts of our S…
