Dive into The Red Book with International Jungian Experts!
A 4 Part Zürich Webinar Series -
Hosted by Murray Stein
The Asheville Jung Center is very pleased to announce our Winter webinar series, Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions hosted by Murray Stein. Dr. Stein has already taken part in 6 recent webinar series including Jung and Alchemy, The Psychology of Fairy tales, World Religions, Jung and Evil, and The Life and Work of Erich Neumann. This course will consist of 4 webinars discussing the great importance of Jung’s Red Book in modern time. Participants may register for the full series of lectures for one price of $99. Participants joining anytime after the course begins can still register and catch up by watching the recorded version of prior lectures.
Since its publication in 2009, The Red Book: Liber Novus by C.G. Jung has been a huge success in commercial terms and in gaining general recognition as a significant work of artistic value and of historical interest. The Red Book has been translated into numerous languages; papers and books have been written about it; conferences and seminars have been held to focus on many aspects of its historical and psychological content. Now the time has come to look at it as a work containing immense value for guiding people forward in our time, postmodernity. To that purpose, this webinar series will feature speakers who will address this topic from several different perspectives. |

Session #1: 1/25/2018 11AM ET
Murray Stein will introduce the series with an overview of the project of publishing a three volume series of essays titled Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions, with contributions by some fifty Jungian analysts and scholars around the world and published by Chiron Publications. Volume 1 has appeared so far, and Volume 2 is in preparation. Thomas Arzt will summarize his essay in Volume 1, The Way of What is to Come’: Searching for Soul under Postmodern Conditions and will expand on some of his views as expressed there.
Session #2: 2/22/2018 11AM ET
This webinar will feature Nancy Swift Furlotti who will address themes in The Red Book that are relevant to our present day ecological concerns. Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt will join her in a discussion of her essay in Volume 1 of The Red Book for Our Time entitled, “Encounters with the Animal Soul: A Voice of Hope for Our Precarious World.
Session #3: 3/15/2018 11AM ET
Lance Owens will discuss in this webinar the important issues raised in his essay, C.G. Jung and the Prophet Puzzle,
looking at the teachings and the prophetic aspects embedded in Liber
Novus. Was Jung a prophet/teacher for our time? If so, what is the
message he wanted to convey, and can we make use of it? Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt will engage Lance Owens in conversation on this controversial topic.
Session #4: 4/19/2018 11AM ET
In his essay, In a World That Has Gone Mad, Is What We Really Need… A Red Book? Paul Bishop links
the themes in Jung’s Liber Novus to important cultural predecessors:
Plato, Goethe, Schelling and Nietzsche. In what sense does Jung’s
message carry this tradition of thought further and make it applicable
and relevant for our time? Murray Stein and Thomas Arzt will engage with Paul Bishop in conversation on the relevance of Jung’s Red Book for our time.
