Navigating Stormy Seas


  • Boulder Friends of Jung Estes Park, Colorado (map)

It seems like nothing is certain in 2025. Nearly every aspect of life – politics, economics, education, health care, religion, science, entertainment – is highly polarized. People everywhere are struggling with high levels of anxiety and stress. There are wars and rumors of wars every day. What can we do to navigate these stormy seas?

Carl Jung was well acquainted with turbulent times. He witnessed two horrific world wars and the evil that can come from collective psychosis. His insight and guidance has never been more relevant.

During this highly interactive weekend retreat, we will apply the insights of Jung to modern American society. Guided by James Hollis, we will work on adjusting our strategies and finding our way.
