What Kinds of Programs and Events Does jung.org Offer?

Updated

jung.org is the website of The Jung Society of Washington, and its programming centers on live online courses and lectures in Jungian psychology, plus a separate catalog of recorded programs you can watch on your own schedule. Most live events are also recorded, so registering gives you access to the session even if you can't attend at the scheduled time. The listings below are drawn from the site's current program pages; dates, times, and formats are as stated there.

Live online programs

Live programming is the core of the site's calendar. It includes both multi-session courses and single lectures or workshops, all delivered online.

Multi-session courses

Courses meet across several sessions rather than once. A current example:

  • Working With the Feeling Function: A Course With John White — meets on four Thursdays: October 8, 15, 22, and 29, 2026, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM Eastern Time. The program will be recorded.

If you want sustained engagement with a topic and a recurring meeting time, this format fits. The trade-off is the four-week commitment.

Single lectures and workshops

Single-session events cover one topic in a shorter block. Current examples:

  • Undoing Severe Dissociation Through "Enactments": A Lecture with Donald E. Kalsched — Friday, October 23, 2026, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM Eastern Time. This program will be recorded.
  • Innocence and Its Violation: Signs of Severe Dissociation in Dreams, A Workshop With Donald E. Kalsched — Saturday, October 24, 2026, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. This program will be recorded.

Note that the lecture and the workshop are separate events on consecutive days, and the workshop runs three hours rather than ninety minutes. If you're choosing between them, the lecture is the shorter overview; the workshop is the longer, more participatory format.

Recorded programs

Beyond the live calendar, the site maintains a recorded programs section with titles such as:

  • Seeing Beauty With Words
  • Living an Examined Life
  • Tracking the Gods
  • Journaling to the Soul
  • The Interpretation of Dreams

These are listed separately from live online programs, so you can browse them without tying your schedule to a specific date. The site also lists a "Recorded Live Programs" category, which suggests some live events are archived for later viewing.

Topics covered

The current and listed programs cluster around Jungian psychology and its applications:

Topic area Example program
The feeling function Working With the Feeling Function (course)
Dissociation and trauma Undoing Severe Dissociation Through "Enactments" (lecture); Innocence and Its Violation (workshop)
Dreams The Interpretation of Dreams; Signs of Severe Dissociation in Dreams
Inner life and reflection Living an Examined Life; Journaling to the Soul
Myth and symbol Tracking the Gods

Other resources on the site

Alongside programs, jung.org hosts a blog, a videos library, art, and a collection of other Jungian resources. There are also informational pages on Carl Jung, the society's history, local Jungian analysts, and an FAQ. A members' area and login are present, and the site accepts donations and gifts through Stripe.

How to decide what to attend

  • If you want depth on one theme over time: choose a multi-session course like the feeling function course.
  • If you want a single evening introduction: choose a lecture such as the Kalsched talk.
  • If you want hands-on engagement: choose a workshop, which runs longer than a lecture.
  • If your schedule is unpredictable: look for programs marked as recorded, or browse the recorded programs catalog.

Registration and login are handled through the site; check each program page for the current details before committing, since dates and formats are set per event.
