From its first pages, Writing Toward Wholeness encourages readers to embark on their own journey through writing toward wholeness. At every step, it reinforces the lessons C.G. Jung learned and shared with millions of people. In focusing on insights and excerpts not only from Jung's writings, but also from many other spiritual writers including Thomas Merton, Etty Hillesum, and Annie Dillard, the author brings together psychology, spirituality, and the arts.
The lessons follow the timeline of Jung’s journey toward wholeness that began with his decision to confront the unconscious through word and image. Step by step, from the practice of journaling and active imagination, to exploring dreams and seeing beauty, to learning alchemy and Zen, Tiberghien concludes the last lesson with a vibrant call for readers to take their own words out into the world.
“Tiberghien (Footsteps: In Love with a Frenchman, 2015, etc.), who has studied and presented the works of Jung for more than 30 years, has written this book to encourage readers to examine the depths of their own souls through a variety of channels… An expertly presented, application-focused overview of Jungian concepts for deep philosophical thinkers.” – Kirkus Review
“As a template for the summons toward greater wholeness, Writing Toward Wholeness provides examples of how C.G. Jung and other thoughtful people deepened their journey, as well as a host of questions and exercises which stir and stimulate our own conversation with the soul.” -James Hollis, Ph. D., Jungian analyst in Washington, D.C., and author of numerous books.
“In this reflective work on the virtues of writing, Susan Tiberghien encourages the reader with excerpts from Jung, the world of Zen and her own considerable life experience.” -Robert Hinshaw, Ph.D., member of the faculty of the C.G. Jung Institute of Zürich, and publisher of Daimon Verlag.
