The Psychology of Carl Jung with Dr Mathew Mather

Uncover Jung’s revolutionary insights into the human mind through dreams, shadows, synchronicity, and more. Followed by Q&A.

Join us for an illuminating exploration of Carl Gustav Jung’s profound insights into the human psyche. Delve into Jung’s model of the psyche, encompassing symbols, archetypes, the persona, shadow, animus, and the self. Discover the depths of the personal and collective unconscious, and explore Jung’s typological theory of personality types.

Central to Jung’s psychology is the concept of synchronicity, revealing the interconnectedness of the universe through meaningful coincidences like the ‘green gold scarab’ incident. The talk will also unlock the mysteries of dreams through Jung’s lens, interpreting their significance and exploring his own transformative dream experiences.
