The conference takes place at ETH Zurich, where C.G. Jung was professor and where the Jung Archives are housed. Famous for its mathematicians and physicists (Einstein, Pauli), ETH Zurich is today one of the premier scientific institutions of the world. It is located next door to the University of Zurich on a hill overlooking the old city of Zurich and surrounded by a vibrant neighborhood of bookshops, restaurants, and small hotels. The ETH is in easy walking distance to downtown Zurich. There will be a banquet Friday night in the Zunfthaus zur Meisen, a historic building on the Limmat River.

Pre-Conference Events in the Afternoon / Evening

July 3-5, 2008 : Thursday Morning through Saturday Afternoon

This conference aims to explore the many and diverse ways through which scholarship and practice in analytical psychology and Jungian studies can contribute to today's urgent debates about the role and impact of myths, symbols and powerful narratives in culture, national identity, and politics as well as personal life.

Wednesday afternoon
Afternoon excursion to Küsnacht: A one-hour look at Jung's family home on Seestrasse in Küsnacht with a walk through the library and study where Jung worked. Andreas Jung, CG's grandson who lives in the house, will offer some comments and answer questions.

Wednesday evening
The Letters
A play based on the correspondence between C.G. Jung and theologian, Victor White

Saturday
The analysts of Zurich welcome you Saturday evening to their homes or favorite locales for an evening to food, drink, lively conversations, and the opportunity to wish you a warm and hearty 'auf Wiedersehen' from the historic home of Jungian psychology.

The groups will be small and intimate, the opportunities great for sharing experiences of the ETH conference just attended, the pleasures of Swiss hospitality on full display.
