Lionel Corbett, M.D., trained in medicine and psychiatry in England and as a Jungian analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago. Dr. Corbett is a core faculty member at Pacifica Graduate Institute. His primary dedication has been to the religious function of the psyche, especially the way in which personal religious experience is relevant to individual psychology. He is the author of Psyche and the Sacred, and The Religious Function of the Psyche. He is co-editor, with Dennis Patrick Slattery, of Depth Psychology: Meditations in the Field and Psychology at the Threshold. He has also authored “Spirituality Beyond Religion”, a set of audiotapes published by Sounds True. More details on Dr. Corbett's events

The Jung Society Board has decided to make a limited number of scholarships available for attendance at our lectures, workshops, and study groups. Our aim is to make Jungian ideas more available and accessible. With “Friends” memberships up (four-fold in the past year), the Board feels comfortable with allotting some budget to a scholarship fund. However, to make more scholarships available, we are appealing to the community to help with funding through donations to the Society. Please donate by using PayPal on this website or mail your check to the Jung Society of St. Louis, P.O. Box 11724, St. Louis, MO 63105. Scholarship Application Form We are deeply grateful for all the help and support from the larger community.

Spiritual structures require periodic renewal. When our spirituality
cannot be contained within traditional institutions, there is an urgent need for
new ways to articulate our experience of the sacred. From within the depth of
the psyche, a new image of the divine is emerging alongside and within
traditional Judeo-Christian images. Depth psychology gives us a language to
articulate this emergence, allowing our experience of the sacred to be
articulated without the need for recourse to traditional theology, doctrine or
dogma. This lecture describes an approach to spirituality based on personal
experience of the sacred.

On behalf of the Board of Directors I congratulate the St.
Louis Jung Society on a resoundingly, astonishingly
successful year. Membership has tripled since Fall 2006. Our
2007 net monetary intake is four times that of the last
year. Twenty-nine short months ago the Board convened
to discuss our perception that the energy of the Society had
stalemated. As a part of our proceedings we asked the I
Ching for a commentary on our situation, receiving the
hexagram “Limitation”, which in Chinese, denotes the joints
that divide a bamboo stalk. Translated, we interpreted this
image of the bamboo as a description of living within
appropriate limitations, being thrifty with financial and
people resources, preserving what is important to us,
and being satisfied with incremental, steady growth. From
the Wilhelm translation of the Book of Changes, “If
germinating things are not handled with discretion, the
perfecting of them is impeded”, but if we understand and
follow this advice, we “accumulate an energy that enables
[us], when the proper time comes, to act with great force”.
We are now acting with great force.
Warm regards, Deborah Stutsman
