Jung Society of Vancouver "At times I feel as if I am spread out over the landscape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the splashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons. There is nothing...with which I am not linked." C.G. Jung (MDR, p. 225)

C. G. Jung Society of Vancouver "The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it." Carl Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul
C. G. Jung Society of Vancouver "When we have learned to disidentify from the persona, to recognize the shadow, and to admit into consciousness the values of the contrasexual opposites, anima and animus, we will have found that, almost without knowing it, we have been close to the archetype of wholeness, the Self." June Singer in Boundaries of the Soul.
C. G. Jung Society of Vancouver "...if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living....you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,... and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be." Joseph Campbell
C. G. Jung Society of Vancouver "Ceasing to grow is a failure of nerve, because it is not what the psyche demands." Dr. James Hollis in What Matters Most.
C. G. Jung Society of Vancouver Thanks to all those who supported our weekend event with Dr. James Hollis. We had a beautiful venue, amazing weather (foggy and damp, sunny and luminous with a rainbow, then foggy again - very archetypal!!) and of course, great wisdom and soothing counsel from an amazing mentor and teacher. Namaste!
