Dear Friends and Supporters,
It is with deep regret that I announce to you the Board’s decision to place The C.G. Jung Society of Vermont on inactive status as a non -profit society.
Over the past several years JSVT has sponsored many thought provoking presentations, films, articles
and discussions. Your participation and support made it possible for us to reach many people in these ways, not only in Vermont, but also far beyond our borders through the society e-journal, Jung in Vermont. Changes in board composition over the past year have adversely impacted our ability to offer the events we once provided. Our inability to fill vacant board positions so as to continue our m ission has necessitated the unfortunate action of placing the Society on inactive status. However, this action is reversible. Therefore, when the board is reconstituted to full board membership we will once again be able to fulfill the society’s educational purpose as set forth in our mission statement. The Jung Society of Vermont can rise again.
Let me assure you that the Society’s resources – our treasury and the audio/tape library along with the Society’s historical records – are secure. Society funds are safely deposited in a local bank and our Jungian library is in my safekeeping.
If you are interested in re -energizing the Society so that it can once again fulfill its mission of educating the public about C.G. Jung’s psychology and Jungians who continue his work, I would be delighted to discuss this with you. I can be contacted either by phone at:
802-863-9775 ext. 2 or 802-399-9287, or by email at
Luannesberna@aol. com.
Thank you for your interest in and support of all things Jungian.
Sincerely,
Luanne Sberna

“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) |
