“Individuation is only possible with people. You must realize that you are a link in a chain, that you are not an electron suspended somewhere in space or aimlessly drifting through the cosmos.”
Carl Jung, Zarathustra Seminar
Starting in January 2024, SAAJA’s one-year Certificate Course is open to anyone with either a professional or personal interest in Analytical Psychology and will offer an in-depth understanding of the Foundational Concepts of Jungian Psychology as a means to support:
- Individuation: Personal growth and maturity, leading participants to a better understanding of themselves and their important relationships.
- The development of insight and understanding for groups/society and to apply Jungian thinking to burning social and political issues.
- Participants’ personal ability to initiate and conduct dialogue with the “other” in a way that promotes understanding and respect, and democratizes the world of Analytical Psychology.

Module One – Structure of the Psyche
We will introduce Jung in his historical context– his life, and his early exposition of Analytical Psychology. Jung’s conception of the structure of the psyche will be followed by sessions introducing his theory of Psychological Types, sometimes referred to as “the practical Jung.”
Module Two – The Unconscious and the Collective Unconscious
The idea of the psyche being divided into different layers is central to depth psychology and psychoanalysis. In this module we will explore the differences between the conscious and unconscious parts of the psyche.
Module Three – Symbolism
One way to try to understand the unconscious is through the use of symbols. This symbolic approach opens us to a wealth of interpretations, a kind of language of dreams, often revealing to us something previously unknown.
Module Four – Individuation – Personal Work
Individuation is a journey towards wholeness and living a meaningful personal myth according to an authentic inner vision: What does it mean to become “whole” and how do I mature into the best possible version of myself.
Module Five – Individuation – The Individual in Society
This module explores how the Jungian perspective can illuminate social phenomena like scapegoating, xenophobia, conspiracy theories, authoritarianism, consumerism.
Module Six – Trauma
Every human is subjected to various forms and degrees of trauma throughout their lives –emotional, physical, and sexual trauma; separation and loss – to name a few. Unacknowledged and unprocessed trauma profoundly changes our neurophysiology, brains, minds, and bodies.
