Jung Reading Group

The reading group is open to those with a shared interest in reading Jung’s works. Current participants include clinicians as well as graduates with academic backgrounds. Prior knowledge of subjects is not assumed, but the ability to openly engage with the reading material is an essential part of the group’s discussions.

Established in 2008, this successful reading group is open to those with a shared interest in Jung. It aims to carry out a systematic reading of C.G. Jung’s original works and explore their significance in academic and clinical contexts, including taking into account post-Jungian perspectives in analytical psychology.

In the academic year 2022-223, the group’s reading included Jung’s Introduction to the Secret of the Golden Flower and his commentaries on other Eastern Texts.
In the academic year 2023-2024, the group studied Jung’s seminars on active imagination, based on Ignatius of Loyola’s spiritual exercises.

In the coming academic year, the meetings of the group will take place online.

This group qualifies for CPD, and a certificate of attendance will be issued to participants at the end of the year.

The course takes place one evening per month (normally on a Thursday), from 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm. Katerina Sarafidou, the Jung Reading Group’s facilitator will introduce the selected material at the beginning of each session, placing it in the context of Jung’s wider work but also in its historical and philosophical context. This will then be followed by group discussion.

The dates for the academic year 2025-2026 are the following:

in 2025: 25 September, 23 October, 20 November, 18 December
in 2026: 22 January, 26 February, 26 March, 23 April, 21 May, 25 June

There are no fixed entry requirements for this course but participants are expected to have an interest in Jung’s work and the ability to engage openly with primary texts. Group members are typically Jungian analysts, trainees, psychotherapists and people from an academic background with an interest in Jung.
