Jeffrey T. Kiehl, Ph.D. is a Jungian analyst living in Santa Cruz, California.

He holds a master's degree in physics from Indiana University and a doctorate in atmospheric science from the State University of New York in Albany. In 2003, he went on to earn a master's in psychology before embarking on his analytical training with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts.

Dr. Kiehl is currently a senior scientist in the Climate Change Research Section of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. He is also an adjunct professor in both the Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Studies departments at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

He is the author of A Jungian Perspective on Global Warming published in the journal Ecopsychology in 2012, and The Evolution of Archetypal Forms in Western Civilization published this year in Psychological Perspectives. His new book, Facing Climate Change: An Integrated Path to the Future, was published in March by Columbia University Press. He is also the co-editor and contributor to the book, Frontiers of Climate Modeling, published by Cambridge University Press in 2006.

Dr. Kiehl has carried out research on climatic periods of Earth's deep past with particular emphasis on extinction events. He is a Fellow of both the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union. He is a recipient of the Distinguished Achievement Award in Climate System Modeling, and the 2012 recipient of the American Geophysical Union Climate Communication Prize. He is also the former Chair of the Community Climate System Model project and former member of the National Research Council's Climate Research Committee.

He now focuses his time on two general areas of Jungian research: the interaction of psyche and matter and connections to physics, and the role of archetypes in cultural transitions through Western history.

Speaking of Jung – Episode #23: Justin Duerr

Justin Duerr spent the last six years uncovering the story of a true forgotten visionary – the obscure cartoonist, painter, illustrator and sculptor, Herbert E. Crowley.

Justin Duerr spent the last six years uncovering the story of a true forgotten visionary – the obscure cartoonist, painter, illustrator and sculptor, Herbert E. Crowley.

Philadelphia artist and musician Justin Duerr is the author, compiler and researcher of the upcoming book, The Temple of Silence: Forgotten Works and Worlds of Herbert Crowley.

Scheduled to be published in November 2017, this oversized archival art book documents for the first time the works of Crowley, who in 1917 disappeared from the art scene, never showing his work again.

After marrying American heiress Alice Lewisohn, Crowley traveled around the world, eventually winding up in Zürich where the couple became analysands of C.G. Jung's, and part of the Psychology Club's inner circle.

In a 1951 letter, Jung described Crowley's work, saying that the "drawings by Mr. Crowley are quite interesting in as much as they contain curious symbols referring to the sympathicus as well as to the multiple luminosities of the collective unconscious. He has been driven into astounding depths – quite dangerous when consciousness is not up to it. Such things usually leave a peculiar void in the conscious world after they have passed."

The book's Kickstarter campaign, which ended on November 11, 2016, brought in 740 backers and raised $96,772.

Justin is a highly regarded visionary artist in his own right, and I highly recommend taking a look at his works on his website, justinduerr.com.

AUG 20, 2015: Daryl Sharp & Laura London in the backyard of Inner City Books

On August 20, 2015, I had the profound honor of spending the entire day at Inner City Books in Toronto, Canada. Late that afternoon, I sat down with Daryl Sharp to record the first episode of the podcast. 

Daryl Leonard Merle Sharp – writer, Jungian analyst, publisher and bon vivant  – was born in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1936.  He lives in Toronto, Canada and has two sons and two daughters.

He earned two Bachelor degrees, one in mathematics and physics and the other in journalism, at Carleton University in Canada, and a Masters degree in literature and philosophy from the University of Sussex in England. Sharp entered training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich in 1974, along with other members of the so-called "Canadian mafia," which included Fraser Boa, Marion Woodman and John P. Dourley.

Upon graduating in 1978, Sharp returned to Canada to begin an analytic practice and tour North America on the Jungian lecture circuit.  Together with Marion Woodman and Fraser Boa, Sharp co-founded the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts in Toronto in 1982 (followed by a training program for analysts in 2000).

In 1980, Sharp also began his major labour of love: Inner City Books, still the world's only publishing house dealing exclusively with the work of Jungian analysts. Sharp's first publication was his diploma thesis, The Secret Raven: Conflict and Transformation in the Life of Franz Kafka. Many others followed, including multiple publications by analysts such as Marion Woodman, Edward F. Edinger, James Hollis and J. Gary Sparks, and especially Marie-Louise von Franz, who graciously agreed to act as honorary patron of Inner City Books.

Today, in 2015, Sharp's enterprise has enjoyed significant success, selling millions of books with translations into approximately a dozen languages.

Sharp himself is the author of more than 30 titles, mainly designed to introduce and explain Jungian concepts to lay audiences. Perhaps his best known books are Personality Types: Jung's Model of Typology {1987}, The Survival Papers: Anatomy of a Midlife Crisis {1988}, and Digesting Jung: Food for the Journey {2001}. {Personality Types and Digesting Jung are available as free ebooks on www.innercitybooks.net}.

Here's the interview, which is also available on iTunes and on Stitcher. It's just over 55 minutes long and around 50MB:

SEPT 4, 2015: J. Gary Sparks & Laura London inside his consulting room

In the early moonlit morning of Friday, September 4, 2015, I left Chicago and headed east to Indianapolis, Indiana, where I spent the entire day with Jungian analyst and author J. Gary Sparks.

Over a bottle of San Pellegrino water, hunks of bread, cheese, and dark chocolate, we sat in his living room and talked for hours about Jung, his books, the training program in Zürich, and how Daryl Sharp saved his life.

Eventually remembering the purpose of my visit, we moved into his consulting room to take a few photos, shoot a couple of videos, and begin recording the interview. Our discussion focused around his book, At the Heart of Matter: Synchronicity & Jung's Spiritual Testament, and covered what synchronicity really is, how quantum physics factors into it, why the dreams of Wolfgang Pauli are so important, and the true purpose of Jungian Psychology.

John Gary Sparks earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, a Master of Divinity from Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California, and a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich where his thesis advisor was Marie-Louise von Franz and his training analysts included Jung's grandson, Dieter Baumann, and Jung's lifelong friend, C.A. Meier.

Sparks is also the author of Valley of Diamonds: Adventures in Number & Time with Marie-Louise von Franz, as well as the editor of Edward Edinger's Ego & Self: The Old Testament Prophets—From Isaiah to Malachi, and Science of the Soul: A Jungian Perspective {co-editor with Daryl Sharp}, all published by Inner City Books. He enjoys teaching Jungian psychology at all levels and has maintained an analytic practice in Indianapolis since 1983.

Here's the interview, which is also available on iTunes and on Stitcher. It's just over an hour long and around 63MB:

As were my previous three guests, John P. Dourley is a Jungian analyst and author. But he's also a Roman Catholic priest. And a professor of religion. On Monday I had the honor of speaking with him about his book, The Illness That We Are: A Jungian Critique of Christianity, published by Inner City Books.

He was ordained in 1964 and holds licentiates in Philosophy and Theology, as well as a Master in Theology, from St. Paul University in Ottawa, Canada, and an M.A. from St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto.

Dourley graduated with a Ph.D. in Theology from Fordham University in New York in 1971. His thesis work was on Paul Tillich and Bonaventure which led, through Tillich, to an interest in Jungian psychology.

He is professor emeritus of the Religion Department of Carleton University in Ottawa where he taught at St. Patrick's College from 1970-1979, and then at Carleton University from 1979-2001.

In 1980, Dourley became a Jungian analyst, having earned a Diploma in Analytical Psychology from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich.

He's written extensively on Jung and religion. His three additional titles with Inner City Books are Psyche As Sacrament: A Comparative Study of C.G. Jung & Paul Tillich {1981, Out of Print}, Love, Celibacy & the Inner Marriage {1987, Out of Print}, and A Strategy for a Loss of Faith: Jung's Proposal {1992}. More recently he has published three volumes with Routledge: Paul Tillich, Carl Jung & the Recovery of Religion {2008}, On Behalf of the Mystical Fool: Jung on the Religious Situation {2010}, and Jung & His Mystics: In The End It All Comes to Nothing {2014}.

Dourley has also lectured widely in Jungian and academic circles, addressing the plenary sessions of the International Association for Analytical Psychology in Barcelona {2004}, Cape Town {2007}, Montreal {2010}, and Copenhagen {2013}. In recent summers he has made presentations to Jungian conferences at the University of Cambridge and Yale University.

He currently maintains a small practice in Ottawa and continues to be interested in the relation of the human psyche and psychology to religious experience and the religions.

Here is the interview. It's a long one – an hour and 23 minutes – and a little over 80 MB. You can play it here in your browser or download it to your computer. It's also available on iTunes and on Stitcher.

I was extremely fortunate to have the opportunity for another face-to-face interview with the living legend that is Daryl Sharp.

Daryl is a Zürich-trained Jungian analyst and the founder and general editor of Inner City Books in Toronto, Canada. He's written over 30 books and for this interview we decided to discuss Personality Types: Jung's Model of Typology, a true classic in the field of Jungian psychology.

Some of you may remember me tweeting that book cover-to-cover. It sure did get a lot of attention.

“I think typology is so important that it ought to be taught in high school...or early university...or at least when couples are planning to cohabit. And the same goes with complexes," said Sharp.

The information in this book is so important that Inner City Books offers it for free as a .pdf file. You'll find five other books about Jungian psychology on that page as well.

Here's what Daryl had to say. We were able to talk for only around 25 minutes, so at the end of the episode I read a little bit from the concluding remarks of his book.

The episode is just over 43 minutes long and around 41 MB. Remember, it's also available on iTunes and on Stitcher. Please subscribe to the podcast and, if you have a minute, write us a review too.

While in Chicago for the 2015 Fall Conference of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts {IRSJA}, Dr. Mark Winborn took time out of his busy schedule to sit down with me to speak about something I've been dying to clear up: what exactly is a Jungian analyst?

Dr. Winborn earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Memphis in 1987, and a Diploma in Analytical Psychology {the degree of a Jungian analyst} from the IRSJA Training Program in 1999.

He's currently on the executive committee of the American Board for Accreditation in Psychoanalysis as well as chair of their distance learning committee and committee on accreditation. He's affiliated with the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis and the International Association for Analytical Psychology. He is a training/supervising analyst of the IRSJA and is the Training Coordinator for the Memphis-Atlanta Jungian Seminar.

Dr. Winborn is a visiting faculty member at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich, The Houston Jung Center, The Jung Seminar of Texas, the C.G. Jung Institute of Philadelphia, the C.G. Jung Institute of Pittsburgh, The New Orleans Jung Seminar, The Florida Jungian Seminar, and the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago.

He is the author of the book, Deep Blues: Human Soundscapes for the Archetypal Journey, published in 2011, and the editor of Shared Realities: Participation Mystique and Beyond, published in 2014. Dr. Winborn has maintained a private practice in Memphis, Tennessee since 1990.

I first met Christina Becker during a trip to Toronto back in August. We had a spirited conversation about Jung, her time in Zürich, why she decided to republish her book, and the unique opportunity she had to train with renowned astrologer and Jungian analyst Liz Greene. So when Christina was in Chicago to attend the Fall Conference of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts {IRSJA}, she was kind enough to meet with me again to record an interview for this podcast.

Christina spent a total of 6 years in Zürich where she was granted a Diploma of Analytical Psychology by the C.G. Jung Institute, the only institute in the world founded by Carl Gustav Jung. "It was such a gift to be training less than a kilometer from Jung's house on Lake Zurich," she writes.

She first earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in music composition, having an active interest in sound healing and music. She then went on to earn an MBA and continues to be a successful organizational consultant to the non-profit sector. She's also a principal in a small family business, Becker Associates.

Christina is a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, a clinical member of the Ontario Society of Psychotherapists, a senior analyst with the Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists, and a senior training analyst with the IRSJA. She is also a faculty member of the Toronto Art Therapy Institute and a member of the Canadian Association for Sandplay Therapy.

In addition to her Jungian training, she has studied astrology at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London as well as with Liz Greene through the Astrodeinst seminars in Zürich.

Christina has lectured at Jungian training institutes in Buffalo, Calgary, Halifax, Johannesburg, Montreal, New York, Toronto, and Zürich. She has also spoken at various astrological conferences and local Jungian societies across North America, and currently maintains a private practice in the west end of Toronto.

She is the author of the book, The Heart of the Matter: Individuation as an Ethical Process, originally published by Murray Stein's Chiron Publications in 2004. A second edition has been published by Chiron in 2014.

This interview was recorded in Chicago on October 23rd at the 2015 Fall Conference of the IRSJA. It's 57 minutes long and around 55 MB. You can play it right here in your browser, or click on the download link on the right to save it to your computer.

QUOTE
 

Christina on individuation: "The Self is the centre of the personality, the inner divinity within each individual that guides one's life and destiny. Individuation, according to Jung, is a natural developmental process within every individual that helps them become the person they were meant to be. In other words, it is a process through which an individual becomes more him- or herself – more authentic and distinct from other people and from collective values and norms." ~Christina Becker, The Heart of the Matter: Individuation as an Ethical Process, p. ix

The idea for this episode began in Einsiedeln, Switzerland, during my recent trip to Zürich. Einsiedeln is located 25 miles to the south, about 5 miles from the southern end of the lake. It's an idyllic, picturesque mountain town that is so beautiful, it's surreal.

I was there to visit Dr. Robert Hinshaw – a Jungian analyst and the founder of the Daimon Verlag publishing house. We had a wonderful meeting, full of stories, in his office that looks out onto an enormous Benedictine monastery that is home to the Black Madonna.

I'd first learned of the Black Madonna's existence through Marion Woodman's book, Addiction to Perfection. And when I told Episode 7 guest Christina Becker that I’d be visiting Zürich, she told me that I just had to go see the Black Madonna.

Dr. Hinshaw sent me on my way that evening with a copy of the the book, The Black Madonna of Einsiedeln: An Ancient Image for Our Present Time. It was written by a friend of his in the United States, Dr. Fred Gustafson, who had been a fellow student at the Jung Institute in Zürich back in the 1970s. Dr. Hinshaw suggested that after I went across the street to see the Black Madonna, I might want to interview Dr. Gustafson when I got home.

Fred Gustafson received a Doctor of Ministry in Psychology and Pastoral Counseling from Andover Newton Theological School in Boston in 1968, and a Diploma in Analytical Psychology {the degree of a Jungian analyst} from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich in 1975.

Dr. Gustafson has worked full-time as a Jungian Analyst and Pastoral Counselor, and is currently a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, the Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists in Zürich, and the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. 

In addition to his book on the Black Madonna, he is the author of Dancing Between Two Worlds: Jung and the Native American Soul. He also contributed the chapter, "Fathers, Sons, and the Brotherhood," to the book Betwixt and Between: Patterns of Masculine and Feminine Initiation.

Along with fellow Jungian analyst Jane Kamerling, Dr. Gustafson is the co-author of the groundbreaking book, Lifting The Veil. In it, they explore Islam and the repressed feminine principle within both Eastern and Western cultures from an historical and psychological perspective.

He is also the editor of and a contributor to both The Moonlit Path: Reflections on the Dark Feminine and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin & Carl Gustav Jung: Side by Side.

Dr. Gustafson and I spoke via Skype on December 14, 2015. The interview is just over an hour long and around 60 MB. You can listen to it right here in your browser or download the MP3 file to your computer. You can also listen to it via iTunes or Stitcher.

On this episode of the podcast, Shaun Lau of No, Totally! stepped in as guest host to discuss my recent trip to Zürich, Switzerland.

In November 2015, I finally decided to see for myself the places where Jung lived and worked. Visiting Zürich also gave me the opportunity to meet with some of the most world-renowned Jungian analysts and record a few interviews for the podcast.

It was a tense time to be traveling in Europe, in light of the recent bombings in Paris. I had to change planes in Münich coming and going, and airport security was tighter than I'd ever seen it. Zürich was quiet on the surface, but I sensed a general unease. When I visited with Murray Stein, he called the present situation in Europe a "tinder box."

I then went on to Rome where the military was present on practically every corner. Brandishing machine guns, I might add. They lined the entrance to the Vatican Museum and were even present on tiny little Tiber Island, guarding the entrance to one of my favorite places – the Basilica of St. Bartholomew the Apostle, former temple of Asclepius. I stayed in a hotel looking out onto the Pantheon, and there was a police car parked under my window every night.

The trip began with an 8-hour weather delay in Chicago, a missed connection to Zürich, and an unexpected overnight stay in Washington, D.C. I finally arrived in Zürich almost two days late and had to immediately head to Einsiedeln for my first meeting: the publishing offices of Daimon Verlag and a private sit-down with its founder, Jungian analyst Dr. Robert Hinshaw.

Since I don't like to write – that's why I started this podcast, I'd much prefer to speak – you can listen to the rest of the story here:

AFTERWORD

“On listening to our interview I wondered, ‘Did I get across the sense that individuating implies that one becomes, not more introverted and self-obsessed, but more aware of one’s responsibility to society?’ I do address this in the book, but I may not have focused much on it in the interview. A consequence of individuating is that one recognizes the importance of contributing to one’s fellow human beings with empathy, compassion, and active participation in society. ”

Graham Jackson received an Honours B.A. in English and French, followed by a Masters in Information Studies, from the University of Toronto. His Diploma in Analytical Psychology comes from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich, where he studied from 1985 to 1990.

Prior to his analytical training, he worked as a librarian, journalist and researcher. In his spare time, he wrote for the theatre and reviewed dance for several Canadian and American publications. In 1978, a collection of his dance criticism, Dance as Dance, was published by Catalyst Press in Toronto. Catalyst had previously published two chap books of his short stories, The Apothecary Jar and Gardens.

In 1982, Brandstead Press published a suite of poems entitled Porcelain Letters, and in 1990 followed that with An Arc of Red Crystals, a collection of four stories.

His thesis for the Jung Institute came out under an Inner City imprint in 1991. Called The Secret Lore of Gardening, the book explored the archetypal background of male-male intimacy. Not satisfied that he had created a well-rounded picture, he composed a volume two, The Living Room Mysteries, which continued the exploration. This was published in 1993.

Jackson continues to write on Jungian themes for the Ontario Association of Analytical Psychology's professional training and public programs in the form of lectures. He's also engaged in writing a novel series, a saga that looks at the psychological history of a handful of characters over a period spanning 40 years.

Our talk focused on his recent presentation, War on Eros. It is described as follows: Jung wrote, 'Where love reigns, there is no will to power; and where the will to power is paramount, love is lacking.' {CW 7, par. 22} A simple, verifiable statement, we might say, but what happens when the will to power through several seductive guises such as fashion, social media, and so-called technological superiority threatens the very existence of that 'questionable fellow,' Eros? This lecture explores his struggles for survival in a society increasingly addicted to one-upmanship and celebration of sentimentality.

This interview was recorded on March 23, 2016, at Jackson's home office in Toronto. It runs for an hour, and is 56 MB. You can listen to the episode right here in your browser or download it directly to your computer. This podcast is also available on iTunes and on Stitcher.

AUG 20, 2015: Daryl Sharp in the backyard of Inner City Books

On August 20, 2015, I had the profound honor of spending the entire day at Inner City Books in Toronto, Canada. Late that afternoon, I sat down with Daryl Sharp to record the first episode of the podcast. 

Daryl Leonard Merle Sharp – writer, Jungian analyst, publisher and bon vivant  – was born in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1936.  He lives in Toronto, Canada and has two sons and two daughters.

He earned two Bachelor degrees, one in mathematics and physics and the other in journalism, at Carleton University in Canada, and a Masters degree in literature and philosophy from the University of Sussex in England. Sharp entered training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich in 1974, along with other members of the so-called "Canadian mafia," which included Fraser Boa, Marion Woodman and John P. Dourley.

Upon graduating in 1978, Sharp returned to Canada to begin an analytic practice and tour North America on the Jungian lecture circuit.  Together with Marion Woodman and Fraser Boa, Sharp co-founded the Ontario Association of Jungian Analysts in Toronto in 1982 (followed by a training program for analysts in 2000).

In 1980, Sharp also began his major labour of love: Inner City Books, still the world's only publishing house dealing exclusively with the work of Jungian analysts. Sharp's first publication was his diploma thesis, The Secret Raven: Conflict and Transformation in the Life of Franz Kafka. Many others followed, including multiple publications by analysts such as Marion Woodman, Edward F. Edinger, James Hollis and J. Gary Sparks, and especially Marie-Louise von Franz, who graciously agreed to act as honorary patron of Inner City Books.

Today, in 2015, Sharp's enterprise has enjoyed significant success, selling millions of books with translations into approximately a dozen languages.

Sharp himself is the author of more than 30 titles, mainly designed to introduce and explain Jungian concepts to lay audiences. Perhaps his best known books are Personality Types: Jung's Model of Typology {1987}, The Survival Papers: Anatomy of a Midlife Crisis {1988}, and Digesting Jung: Food for the Journey {2001}. {Personality Types and Digesting Jung are available as free ebooks on www.innercitybooks.net}.

Here's the interview, which is also available on iTunes and on Stitcher. It's just over 55 minutes long and around 50MB:
