Cambridge
Jungian Circle
Our Story...
In 1992, inspired by the desire to explore Jung's profound and far-reaching contributions within a supportive community, The Cambridge Jungian Circle was born.
Since then, this forum has blossomed into a registered charity and a thriving international community of nearly 50 local members and 250 subscribers, all united by a shared, deep interest in exploring Jung's transformative work.
One of the Circle's greatest strengths is the rich, open exchange of ideas among people from diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures, all united by a common passion for Jungian psychology.
If you are drawn to exploring the depths of the human psyche and connecting with others on a similar journey, we warmly invite you to join our Circle and become part of a community dedicated to exploring the profound insights of Carl Jung.​​​​
Who Was Carl Jung?
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology, a profound branch of psychology that explores the deep layers of the unconscious mind. Jung's work significantly diverged from that of his mentor, Sigmund Freud, as he introduced concepts that emphasized the collective unconscious, archetypes, and the process of individuation—the journey towards self-realization and psychological wholeness.
His groundbreaking theories on personality types, such as introversion and extraversion, have become fundamental in modern psychology, influencing not only clinical practices but also cultural and artistic movements around the world.
Jung's interest in mythology, religion, and alchemy led him to explore the universal symbols and patterns that he believed were inherent in the human psyche. He introduced the concept of Synchronicity, the idea that meaningful coincidences are not mere chance but reflect a deeper connection between the individual and the Collective Unconscious.
Throughout his life, Jung authored numerous influential works, including The Red Book, a personal exploration of his own unconscious, and Psychological Types, which laid the foundation for personality theory.
Jung's ideas continue to inspire contemporary psychology, philosophy, and even spirituality, making him one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.
