The Earth has a Soul: Jung on Nature, Technology, and Modern Life
Thursday, October 8, 2026
7-9pm PDT
In-person and live Zoom meeting, see below for details.

We have two more evenings to discuss Jung's writings in this book, October 8 and November 12. Discussions can connect even if you have not been following the sequence of our readings...

In our final two sessions, we will ponder together The Rainmaker Story. See The Rainmaker Story.pdf—a PDF of which is attached [length 2 pages]. In the book, see pp 211. And look at the final words and maybe review the whole journey...
Max Zeller, an early American analyst, recalled that in Zurich, Jung would tell the story as often as anyone wanted to hear it. If a group gathered for dinner, Jung would say, "Did you ever hear the story of the rainmaker?" And everyone would shout, "No! We never heard it!" And Jung would again tell the story.

This meeting is available live online. To join us online, please contact us for a link: http://jungmonterey.org/contact. For in-person attendance, come to 381 High Street in Monterey, CA.

Preparing for the Transition to the AI Era: Talk-circle
Thursday, October 1, 2026
7-9pm PDT
In-person and live Zoom meeting, see below for info.

The transition to the AI era will be one of the most turbulent times in human history. Right now, we are not preparing adequately for that transition. If the world takes the right steps, AI will be a force for good and leave everyone better off.
—Bill Gates 08/26/2026

Never has humanity had such power over itself.
—Pope Francis 2015

We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed. Few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scriptures, the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
— J. Robert Oppenheimer 1965

The thread by which our fate hangs is wearing thin. Not nature, but the “genius of mankind,” has knotted the hangman’s noose with which it can execute itself at any moment.
— C. G. Jung 1952

We are living through a rapid phase of transition a ‘change of era,’ in which—while some are vying for the future of new technologies and other dedicate themselves to reflecting on the matter—most people are watching and waiting, observing from afar and merely hoping for the best. For this very reason, crucial questions impose themselves on our conscience and can no longer be avoided: Where are we going? Toward what goal do we wish to orient ourselves? What direction should we choose as a people and as a human community?
—Pope Leo 2026

Projection and Re-Collection in Jungian Psychology: Reflections of the Soul
by Marie-Louise von Franz
Thursday, Sept, 2026
7-9pm PDT
Live In-person and Zoom meeting, see below for info

We will continue working through Chapter 8 “Consciousness and Inner Wholeness” and begin Chapter 9 “Reflection.” Most of our conversations so far have been about projection; now we get into recollection. What does it mean and how does one recollect one’s projections—and what does that have to do with wholeness?

“The greatest wound of humanity is our disconnection from Divine Mother. Now is the time to reconnect our hearts with Her heart and be the embodiment of Her love on earth. This is the inspiration for my art.”

The Earth Has a Soul: Jung on Nature, Technology & Modern Life
Thursday, Sept 10, 2026
7-9pm PDT
In-person and live Zoom meeting, see below for info.

By the end of this year, we will complete our reading of this anthology of Jung’s thoughts.

Great innovations never come from above; they come invariably from below; just as trees never grow from the sky downward, but upward from the earth, however true it is that their seeds have fallen from above. The upheaval of our world and the upheaval of our consciousness are one and the same.

The Dream and the Underworld by James Hillman
Thursday, Sept 3, 2026
7-9pm PDT
In-person and live Zoom meeting, see below for info.

We continue our reading...

A dream is always partial, one-sided, unbalanced. To be comprehended, it calls for the other member of the pair: the dayworld context, the ego position, the collective situation, the preceding dream series. … across the bridge back into links with others, outside itself, elsewhere. —jh p77

Projection and Re-Collection in Jungian Psychology: Reflections of the Soul
by Marie-Louise von Franz

Live In-person and Zoom meeting, see below for info

We will finish chapter 7 and dive into chapters 8 and 9, hopefully finishing the book by the end of the trimester. Chapter 8 is on “Consciousness and Inner Wholeness” and Chapter 9 on “Reflection.” Where the earlier chapters often surveyed the use of projection in various aspects of Life, these two tie things together and go deep. Dive in with us…

Politics - Talk Circle
Thursday, August 20, 2026
7-9pm PDT
In-person and live Zoom meeting, see below for info.

Once we give serious consideration to the hypothesis of the unconscious, it follows
that our view of the world can be but a provisional one; for if we effect so radical an
alteration in the subject of perception and cognition this dual focus implies, the
result must be a world view very different from any known before.
>>CG Jung CW8, para 370 / 423

Archetypal energy carries a much higher charge than personal energy—the
difference between a thunderbolt and a duckling’s quack…. As a culture, we are
presently stuck in the parental complexes. The power structures of patriarchy have
profoundly wounded both masculine and feminine, making mature relationships
almost impossible without hard psychic work.
>>Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickson, Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess
in the Transformation of Consciousness, pp2/6

The immense processes of transformation like those taking place today, and the far and deep-reaching mutations that have been occurring for generations and extend
into the present…. are latent in origin; they are always back-leaps into the already
(ever-)present future.
>>Jean Gebser The Ever-Present Origin p530
