Jung’s Liber Novus (The Red Book) through guide d reading and discussion\, reflecting on its images\, archetypes\, and the development of analytical psychology while discovering how Jung’s pract ice of Active Imagination continues to illuminate the unconscious. \nJoin Jungian analyst Michael Escamilla in this continued exploration of C.G. Ju ng’s book\, Liber Novus. Known as the “Red Book\,” the Liber Novus w as Jung’s own in-depth immersion into his unconscious. Using a technique we now call Active Imagination\, Jung undertook dialogues with inner figu res\, and created artistic renderings of these experiences. Although this is a continuation of previous courses on the Red Book\, new students are w elcome. Dr. Escamilla will facilitate this reading group\, where we will r ead sequential sections from the text and discuss the work as it applies t o the development of key aspects of analytical psychology in Jung’s own process\, as well as providing a space to reflect on the images and archet ypes encountered in the work. \nThis course will be recorded.
