a container for the psyche in an uncertain world |
| OUR MISSION The Jung Society of Washington is dedicated to nourishing the human spirit and to serving the longing that comes to us in our dreams and in moments of hardship, imagination, struggle, and creativity. We support the exploration of our own psychic depths and the primal impulse for personality integration that Dr. Carl Gustav Jung called "individuation". With a psychological lens, we deepen the discussion of social issues, history, and current events. We encourage the development of greater self-awareness and creative expression—individually, in relationships, and within the community. |

OF SPECIAL INTEREST
RUSSIA'S "SNOW MAIDEN" TALE, a presentation by Philippa RappoportSnegurochka, or the Snow Maiden, was first published in a collection of folktales in the late 19th century. It inspired a symphony and a ballet, and continues to be one of the most popular folktales in Russia today. A visit from Snegurochka and her grandfather, Ded Moroz, is an established and cherished component of contemporary New Year celebrations.This presentation will examine the connection between the folktale and ritual celebrations, and will explore more broadly notions of the sacred in narrative and ritual celebration.

Library
The Jung Society Library has been formed over several decades thanks to generous contributions of the members of Jung Society of Washington. It now contains more than 3000 books, including Carl G. Jung The Collected Works and classics of Jungian studies. It is a serious, scholarly collection with many rare and unusual items, but it also contains more general and popular works, as well as a fair amount of relevant cultural materials.
