 The C.G. Jung Society of Vermont is open to anyone interested in Carl Jung’s ideas and work. Our members come from all walks of life. Many are professionals connected with the mental health field, teaching and the arts.
Other members have a more personal interest in Jung’s work. But, whatever one’s interests, the society provides an opportunity to discuss analytical psychology with an ever-widening circle of friends.
The society offers a number of membership options: individual, family, retiree and student. Those 75 years and older are invited to join at no charge. We also offer upon request a reduced membership fee based on ability to pay. We welcome support, financial and otherwise, from individuals, institutions and businesses interested in society sponsorship.
Please go to the Membership Application page for more information on membership and for a printable membership form. |

“But why on earth,” you may ask, “should it be necessary for man to achieve, by hook or by crook, a higher level of consciousness? This is truly the crucial question, and I do not find the answer easy. Instead… I can only make a confession of faith: I believe that, after thousands and millions of years, someone had to realize that this wonderful world of mountains and oceans, suns and moons, galaxies and nebulae, plants and animals, exists. From a low hill in the Athi plains of East Africa I once watched the vast herds of wild animals grazing in soundless stillness, as they had done from time immemorial, touched only by the breath of the primeval world. I felt then as if I were the first man, the first creature, to know that all this is. The entire world round me was still in its primeval state; it did not know that it was. And then, in that one moment in which I came to know, the world sprang into being; without that moment it would never have been. All Nature seeks this goal and finds it fulfilled in man, but only in the most highly developed and most fully conscious man.
- C.G. Jung (CW 9i, #177) |
