A non-profit organisation, which aims to provide a contact for people interested in the psychological insights of Carl Gustav Jung. Through monthly meetings, workshops, other activities and our library, we seek to help people to understand their own inner journey and the world today - from a Jungian perspective. We normally meet at 7:30 for 8:00 pm on the first Friday of each month at MacKillop House Conference Centre, 50 Archibald Street, Lyneham (See map). .       Last meeting:           Craig San Roque: "Mystery of the Mysteries - A Talk in Honour of Glenda Cloughley, on our 41st Anniversary" <See the video>  -           See the "Archives" and the "Resources" menus to the left.       Special Announcement:           John Gillam's new book: Building Civilizations - Change and Continuity" is now available: Click here!   Next Meeting: Friday 6th February 2026 "The Barbia Question" with Dr Stephani Stephens at MacKillop House, 50 Archibald St, Lyneham, ACT (and by Zoom) The film "Barbie" serves as a springboard for us to examine Jung, what he learned from the dead, his moral position with respect to his ancestors and what he gleaned about the unconscious as a result of all of it. Barbie herself, caught in the joys of a celebratory unconscious, grows to individuate around this basic of questions as she journeys to embrace a new vision of consciousness. As we move through this discussion let's pose our own question: does Jung's worthy work in this area help us with our own hauntings and relationship with an unconscious that might accommodate our ancestors? Jung assures: "Inner peace and contentment depend in large measure upon whether or not the historical family which is inherent in the individual can be harmonised with the ephemeral conditions of the present" (MDR, p. 264). As we explore some of these ideas, Avery Gordon is also useful here: “Ghostly matters are part of social life…Haunting is a part of our social world and understanding it is essential to grasping the nature of our society and for changing it” (Ghostly Matters, p. 23 and p. 27) Dr. Stephani Stephens is a Jungian oriented psychotherapist and a lecturer in Counselling at the University of Canberra. She holds a PhD from the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK in Jungian psychology. She is the author of C.G. Jung and the Dead; Visions, Active Imagination and the Unconscious Terrain by Routledge. Her areas of research include the unconscious, transgenerational inheritance, cultural broaching, and the self in therapeutic practice. She teaches counselling skills, theory, diversity and ethics to both postgraduates and undergraduates and maintains a small therapy practice.   Special Event: "Introducing Carl Jung's Psychology"                                                     or   "Are you living your life, or the one that others expect of you?"   Friday Lecture 6th March and Saturday Workshop 7th March 2026    Bruce Helyard, U3A Lecturer, Trainer and Consultant     Friday evening 6th March 2026  7:30 for 8pm - 10:00 pm  An introduction to the thinking and work of the Swiss Psychologist, Carl Jung.
