Introduction to Jungian Psychology
We bring to you a new version of our Basic Jung workshop!
If you are starting to look inward, more at your self, at your relationships, your purpose, rather than goals, to dos ( or not to dos), or what is happening out in the world, then this workshop is for you.
Your true genius is alive in you , but it is unconscious. Through the depth psychology framework of Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung, you can discover a rich trove of inner resources for a more engaged, authentic life.
This three day course introduces you to Basic Jungian concepts such as map of the psyche, the individuation process, archetypal energies, and others. By taking a peek at life through Jung's concepts, you become more aware of the unconscious inner energies ( active and quite influential) that play out in your life.
It's an interactive, experiential and engaging workshop for self care, self awareness and self assessment.
“Who looks outside dreams , who looks inside awakes.” CG JUNG

VISION
The Carl Jung Circle Center aims to reach a vast number of Filipinos to help awaken their psyche and soul to the potential of its gifts, its beauty, its wisdom, its power, and its greatness. It seeks to “awaken the passion for tending psyche/soul/Self.” It further seeks the spread of the Jungian model of psychology as a psycho-spiritual bridge between what is important in our everyday life and what deeply touches both our minds and our souls.
MISSION
The mission of the Center is to provide avenues for growth of the Self, bringing together the energies of people through seminars/ workshops for the public, invest in studies on Jung and the Filipino psyche, and create sanctuaries for the soul. It aims to establish linkages with other Jung Centers, government agencies, academic institutions, and other kindred groups.
CJCC delivers its mission in four parts through: • Studies • Services • Synergy • Sanctuary
• CONTINUOUS LEARNING
We believe in life-long learning, in reflecting, in sharing insights and wisdom. We believe in scholarship - keeping ourselves abreast in the field of Jungian and Depth Psychology.
• FRIENDSHIP & COMMUNITY
We believe in diversity. We nurture relationships. We respect and care for each other. We celebrate and mark our joys and our sorrows.
• CREATIVITY & BEAUTY
We incorporate art and beauty in the work we do. We innovate and experiment with the application of our field of Jungian and Depth Psychology.
• SOCIAL IMPACT & RELEVANCE
We believe in the necessity of our individual soul work as a key to keeping humanity humane, grounded, and mindful. We believe that the health of the soul of the human is tied with the health of nature and the world.

Carl Gustav Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst whose life work involved exploring his unconscious side. He was the son of a pastor, Paul Jung and a medium , Emilie Preiswerk. As a young boy , being a loner, he encountered visions, and was deeply reflective and intelligent. He noted early on that he had a two distinct personalities inside of him. This did not disturb him. Instead, it fueled his hunger for learning about the two.
After university, he made contact with Sigmund Freud , who was a popular scientist and analyst at that time. He wrote to Sigmund to say that he admired him and that he agreed with his theories. The two met and talked for 13 hours straight, on all topics and about life in general. They developed a close friendship and colleageship, Freud even considering Jung to be his successor as head of the Psychological association.
But Jung eventually found himself not agreeing with Freud on all his theories. He had different views . This led to a “falling-out “ between them. The break however, triggered a deep search for meaning within Jung, which he later described as INDIVIDUATION, the journey toward one’s Self.
Because Jung was no longer connected to Freud, he was able to explore his own ideas and theories about a lot of things. He developed most importantly the theory of the collective unconscious. He also delved, researched and wrote about such concepts as personality types (introversion, extroversion), archetypal energies (persona, shadow), anima and animus (feminine and masculine), sychronicity, active imagination, dream interpretation, among others.
He was very much interested in the mystical, the spiritual, history, art, paranormal, culture, the sciences, personal experience and integrated all these when treating his patients and especially when he wrote his many books and papers. It is because of this that his theories and work are still relevant today in many fields and influences people from many walks of life.

The Four Core Tracks
of CJCC
The Carl Jung Circle Center is a learning center for Jungian and Depth Psychology as it applies to a person’s individuation process, creativity and spirituality, to the well-being of communities and institutions, and to the tending of our culture and our planet.
These four tracks interface with our four content foci which are the following: the INDIVIDUATION PROCESS, CREATIVITY AND SPIRITUALITY, the WELL-BEING OF THE ORGANIZATION, and WORKING WITH EARTH.
• Synergy
This S seeks linkages, networks and partnerships with like-minded individuals, groups and organizations. Through our journey and our special projects, we have gained support from various companies and individuals. We have grown because of the support of our community, and our synergy with groups that resonate with our mission and vision.
This S also seeks bridges and applications to other areas of practice, and other mindsets and frameworks. CJCC endeavors to seek alignment and relevance to practitioners beyond those in the helping professions.
• Sanctuary
This S is the creation of safe spaces, soul spaces, to nourish the community. This includes bonding with our community, taking care of our Jung Library, and other activities that enhance our relationships with each other.

The Jung Library is envisioned to be a soul space. To think. To read. To be in silence. To write. To study. To be enlightened. To be inspired. To be immersed in wisdom. To individuate.
The Jung Library was launched in July 26, 2007, which was also the 132nd birthday of Carl Jung.
The library supports the individuation journey of participants of The Carl Jung Circle Center's workshops. It is also meant for the further development of psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors and those in the healing profession, as well as students in psychology. And lastly, it is meant for individuals who wish to do soul work by reflecting on the aha! wisdom of these books.
The JUNG Library was initiated by the Friends of Jung Society - the mother and "humus" group, and The Carl Jung Circle Center - a broad Jungian-oriented community of professionals, individuals and groups. Its original location as at the RMY Consultancy office in Reposo, Makati.
The Library houses the private collection of intially eight individuals who generously loaned their books to the library. These are: Lizanne Alcarazen, Alex Tee, Rose Marie Yenko, Dr. Dido Gustilo, Ramon Abola (from the collection of his late wife, Marlene Abola), Elaine Lim, Dr. Rene Samaniego and Len Fernandez. It also houses the archive (notes, papers, a feew books) of the late Filipina Jungian Analyst, Dr. Eliza Baja.
In recent years, Dr. Ruth Hill and Dr. Garett Hill donated valuable Jungian journals. AJ Sagmit also loaned a vast number of his Jungian Books.
The books in the Library include the works of Carl Jung, other known Jungian Analysts such as Marie Louise von Franz, Barbara Hannah, and Edward Edinger, and other contemporary Jungian Analysts and authors - Jean Shinoda Bolen, June singer, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Marion Woodman, Carole Pearson, Daryl Sharp, Kathrin Asper, Verena Kast, Robert Johnson, Joseph Campbell, Jean Houston, Robert Bly, James Hillman, Thomas Moore, Robert Moore, Ira Progoff, Murray Stein and many others.
The library is likewise building up its collection of books from the faculty of the PACIFICA Graduate Institute. These books have been sourced from Jung Institutes and universities abroad, from bookshops - local, foreign and second-hand, from assiduous searches on the net, from friends and other local collectors. Included in this collection are books on myths, fairy tales, art therapy, and other psychology books. These books and materials are precious. Thank you to these collectors!
