C.G. Jung Centre 3.48

The Jung Society of Ireland was founded to promote an understanding of Jungian philosophy and psychology. The society's function is education, being dedicated to the exploration of Jungian ideas, the application of Jungian theory and the encouragement of study in the fields of analytical psychology, mythology, literature, art, science, religion and philosophy.

Since its foundation in 1989, the Jung Centre is pleased to have graduated between ten and fifteen students each year. The students have come from a wide variety of backgrounds – nurses, doctors, religious orders, media workers, teachers, social workers, mothers, housewives, business executives, engineers, academics, solicitors etc. And all of them have been exceptional individuals with the courage and ability to question collective assumptions and contribute greatly to society by forging new values for their time.

Of course, as Jung emphasised, this crucial work can only be accomplished through personal transformation and the willingness to own our complexes, projections and shadow aspects. Jung pioneered an in-depth system of dream interpretation which enables us to access the hidden depths of the unconscious and its treasures.
