Charlotte Friends of Jung

The mission of Charlotte Friends of Jung Inc. is to nurture a community based on the insights of C.G. Jung and those who have amplified his work. We offer engaging broad-based educational programs led by regional experts and international speakers. Membership is open to anyone interested in studying the teachings and ideas associated with Jungian thought.

For more than 35 years Charlotte Friends of Jung has served as a forum to enhance and deepen the understanding of the importance of depth psychological principles, unconscious dynamics and the healing power of imagination, dreams, myths and so much more. To that end, we offer a diverse array of programs that include the arts, writing, music, film and other related fields of interest.

The difference between the "natural" individuation process, which runs its course unconsciously, and the one which is consciously realized, is tremendous. In the first case consciousness nowhere intervenes; the end remains as dark as the beginning. In the second case so much darkness comes to light that the personality is permeated with light, and consciousness necessarily gains in scope and insight. The encounter between conscious and unconscious has to ensure that the light which shines in the darkness is not only comprehended by the darkness, but comprehends it. ― C.G. Jung, Answer to Job

Special News for May 2026 and Hints about Upcoming Season

We have lots to tell you about. We're co-sponsoring two added programs this month! Go to our Calendar for more information.

And we've got great plans for our next season starting in the fall. Thanks to generous donations, we're able to make our programs more affordable. Our household membership which entitles you to all our programs along with videos of most of our past presentations will be reduced to $50 but if you prefer to subscribe to individual programs, each will be $20.

And more big news is that we've engaged Thomas Moore to be with us again! On Sunday, October 11th from 4-6pm EDT we'll dp a virtual dive into his soon to be released The Cure at Walden Pond, an intriguing topic that will infuse our entire upcoming season.

Registration is easier than ever! We’re offering a single membership rate (good for all individuals within a household) of $50. Membership includes free access to all five of the current season’s programs along with recordings of each (one of the presentations will only be available for thirty days on Youtube) so you can view those you miss at your convenience--and rewatch them often as you like. You'll also have access to prior season's recordings. Registration for individual programs is available as well for $20. To purchase, look for the Square logo on our Calendar page. As always, need-based scholarships are available. Don't hesitate to ask.
