Jung in the World: Jung & the New Generation of Creatives with Jessica Carson


Carl Jung was known to be endlessly creative and said art is an innate drive within all of us.

In particular, their shadow material is often overlooked in our culture in favor of a more romantic, poetic view of their identities.
