What Is jung.org (The Jung Society of Washington)?

Updated

jung.org is the website of The Jung Society of Washington, an organization that offers public education about Carl Jung's ideas. It is aimed at anyone who wants to learn Jungian concepts through live online courses, recorded programs, lectures, workshops, and free reference material. You do not need to be a member to browse most of the site, though some areas are gated behind a login or members' section.

What the site offers

The site organizes its content into a few clear areas:

  • Live online programs — scheduled courses, lectures, and workshops, some running across multiple sessions.
  • Recorded programs — past programs made available for later viewing, including titles such as Seeing Beauty With Words, Living an Examined Life, Tracking the Gods, Journaling to the Soul, and The Interpretation of Dreams.
  • Blog — written posts on Jungian themes.
  • Resources — a videos library, art, and a list of other Jungian resources.
  • About section — pages on the people behind the society, its history, "Who is Carl Jung," local Jungian analysts, and an FAQ.

Who it is for

The society's programming assumes no prior clinical training. The course and lecture listings are framed as public educational events, so the practical audience is:

  • General readers curious about Jung's concepts.
  • People looking for structured, scheduled learning rather than scattered reading.
  • Anyone who wants recorded material they can watch on their own schedule.

If you are looking for personal analysis or therapy, the site's "Local Jungian Analysts" page is the relevant entry point rather than the program listings.

Example programs

Two upcoming listings show the range and format:

Program Format Date and time
Working With the Feeling Function, with John White Course, four sessions Thursdays, Oct 8, 15, 22, 29, 2026, 7:30–9:30 PM Eastern
Undoing Severe Dissociation Through "Enactments," with Donald E. Kalsched Lecture Friday, Oct 23, 2026, 7:30–9:00 PM Eastern
Innocence and Its Violation: Signs of Severe Dissociation in Dreams, with Donald E. Kalsched Workshop Saturday, Oct 24, 2026, 1:00–4:00 PM Eastern

All three listings state that the program will be recorded, which matters if the scheduled Eastern Time slot does not suit you.

Practical details

  • Registration — the site provides a "Register here" link alongside a login option, so signing up for programs is handled through the site itself.
  • Payment — Stripe appears as a payment platform on the site, indicating that paid transactions are processed through it. Specific prices are not shown in the material available here, so check the individual program page before registering.
  • Members' area — a separate members' section exists, distinct from the public program pages.
  • Donations — the site accepts gifts through a "Donate" / "Make a Gift" option.
  • Contact — a contact page is available for questions.
  • Browser note — the site displays a warning that outdated browsers, devices, or missing JavaScript may cause it to work incorrectly, so use an up-to-date browser if pages or registration misbehave.

How to decide if it fits

Use the live online programs if you want scheduled interaction and are available during Eastern Time sessions. Use the recorded programs if you prefer self-paced viewing or are in a different time zone. Use the resources and blog sections if you only want free background reading before committing to a course. If your interest is in working with an analyst rather than studying, start with the "Local Jungian Analysts" page instead.
