According to Carl Jung, human beings require rich, meaningful inner experiences in order to be healthy and grounded. This course will explore the implications of Jung’s researches for healing the soul through a rich spiritual life.
Learn how Jung understood spirituality and its relationship to healing
Understanding the natural processes of the psyche can have profound implications for healing and the spiritual ongoing of the individual
To attempt to live without a connection to our own inner spiritual vitality is to remain split-off from the source of our very being. From this perspective one of the most healing activities an individual can engage in is the search for an individualized spiritual path. Following one's authentic inner calling can be enormously healing, however, it can also be a lonely and solitary quest. Jung observed that the old religions of the world have largely ceased to function for modern people. Institutional religious ideas and practices no longer correspond to our current sophisticated knowledge of the functioning of the physical world. At the same time, the new myths of science, medicine, political institutions, and popular culture fail to fully address the deep spiritual needs of modern people. In this course we will explore the implications of Jung’s researches for the pursuit of an individual spiritual path which can be both healing and spiritually enriching.

I highly recommend Dr. James Newell’s courses. Upon completion of my certificate in Depth Psychology I had gained the confidence, focus and knowledge to support my success in my current PhD program in Jungian and Archetypal Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute. James is a knowledgeable and caring instructor with an engaging teaching style. All of the Depth Psychology Alliance courses I took: Introduction to Jungian Psychology, Active Imagination, Fairy Tales, Dreams, and many more, were phenomenal and I am most grateful for the opportunity to study with James.
The courses I have taken with Dr. Newell have perfectly prepped me for my graduate studies in psychoanalysis

This is an outstanding educational program where one can learn multiple areas of Jungian Psychology. These courses are very well structured with an appropriate course load and high quality texts. Plus the price is incredibly reasonable. The courses I have taken with Dr. Newell have been intellectually engaging and have perfectly prepped me for my graduate studies in psychoanalysis. Not something I expected to receive from the academy, but very grateful I did.
