The VII Sermons to the Dead as the Cornerstone of Jung’s Individuation Process: An Introduction to the Text and its Clinical Relevance: Katerina Sarafidou
The VII Sermons to the Dead appears in the closing chapters of the Red Book and presents a cosmological framework that underpins the entire undertaking of Jung’s Liber Novus. It provides the foundation of Jung’s notion of individuation and reveals the full nature and purpose of the individuation process.
These lectures will give an overview of the VII Sermons in the context of the Red Book and Black Books. They will explore the role of its text in individuation, and its implications for the work of analytical psychotherapy.
The Transcendent Function in Nelson Mandela’s Politics
Speaker: Dr Steve Myers
In an increasingly one-sided and polarised world, there is a greater need than ever for the transcendent function to find expression outside the therapy room and in the world of politics, culture, and religion. This session will examine how the transcendent function emerged naturally in the early life of Nelson Mandela and in his presidential work in overcoming the deep hatreds within South Africa that were systematised in apartheid. This online session will use a mix of presentation, film, and discussion to explore the practical implications of the transcendent function both in opposing repression or persecution and in reconciling oppressor and oppressed. It will conclude by examining how the lessons from Mandela’s example can be applied in contemporary political conflict.
Dr Steve Myers has a Masters in Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies and PhD on a Jungian subject from the University of Essex.
It has become a commonplace to say that we live in dark times. The breakdown of familiar structures is evident on all levels. Wars, genocide, climate crisis, increasing polarisation - the list goes on. The myths we are living seem increasingly apocalyptic, calamitous.
What is this doing to us and how do these dynamics shape our work? How do we and our patients engage, and avoid engaging, with our collective predicament? What happens when collective archetypal energies enter the consulting room? And how do we maintain and repair our connection with soul and earth, while also remaining thoroughly present to the 'topside world' and its travails?

I am interested in exploring how our relationship to ‘what can be known’ is changing with access to online search, AI, social media and other digital tools. In particular, how these resources curtail our ability, willingness, or desire to stay with the ‘not-yet-known’ or keep an open, curious attitude. While this has implications for us all collectively, it also has a particular impact on the practice of psychotherapy.
As a ‘cautionary tale’ for the curious, Bluebeard offers multiple readings that enrich our understanding of these contemporary developments. Just as the young bride is given the keys to every room in Bluebeard’s castle, our phones may act as keys to all sorts of rooms, rooms that contain both treasures and horrors.
Leigh Money is a member of The Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP) London. She has a particular interest in digital technology; specifically, the ways in which it is re-shaping human communication and connection.
In this lecture I borrow my title from Oscar Wilde, and I will elaborate on this using Jung’s idea of individuation. Repeatedly in his Red Book Jung discovers that becoming oneself is a long cyclical process. I hope to discuss a few aspects of this process which Jung reworks repeatedly in his own confrontation. I wish to discuss unlived life, voluntary love, community, redemption, solace and solitude. A clinical example will be used to illustrate my evolution alongside the patient. I hope to convey how this journey awakened me to a new relationship with death.
Hellen Mabhikwa is a Jungian Training Analyst and Supervisor at the APT:B and other institutes. She is interested in the overlap between Jung’s idea of individuation as it appears in the Red Book with some southern African practices especially in their original form colonisation. Hellen wrote a piece on this in a book recently published by the SAP via Karnac titled: Training being trained.
