What We Offer
Training—take a deep dive into C. G. Jung’s original model of eight psychological types (gifts) and their relationship to depth psychology. Learn how, in Analytical Psychology, the presence of a divine image of perfected wholeness is central to unique personal development. Jung’s psychology closely aligns with spiritual traditions, for he acknowledged the presence of a divine guide in the human psyche.
