Dear subscriber,<\/p>\n

As the light returns after the winter solstice, we are reminded that 150 years ago, in January 1875, Emilie Preiswerk carried within her the child who would grow to become a major figure in psychology: Carl Gustav Jung. <\/p>\n

In this newsletter, we explore a range of thought-provoking articles from 2024, feature two interviews with leading Jungian analysts, and present three noteworthy Jungian books.<\/p>\n

As we step into the new year, may we all continue our journey of individuation, embracing both the light and shadow that guide us toward a deeper understanding of the Self.<\/p>\n
