Our very popular Core Concepts course is usually presented annually. It is most heartily recommended for everyone who is new to the concepts of C G Jung.
Regardless of one’s background, whether you are a professional therapist, student or novice, this course offers insights that will enhance your understanding of the basic premises that underlie the body of C. G. Jung’s work.
Annette Lowe will present the course online through the Zoom platform. An added benefit of this 8 Week Interactive Course is the opportunity to get to know other people with similar interests in Jung’s ideas, share opinions and meet new and existing members of the Jung Society.
