The Guild

 

The Guild of Pastoral Psychology offers a rich forum for those interested, professionally or otherwise, in understanding the relationship between spirituality, religion and depth psychology, with particular reference to the work of and writings of C.G.Jung.

 

The Guild was founded in 1937, with Jung as its Patron. Two years later, Jung gave his talk "The Symbolic Life" to the Guild, suggesting that "Only the symbolic life can express the needs of the soul".* Since those days many eminent psychologists and spiritual thinkers have spoken at the Guild, and the Guild's Papers, based on those Lectures have achieved international recognition. (Many lectures are now also available as CDs). The Guild today also organises conferences and workshops, boasts an excellent Library and co-ordinates a number of Guild Groups around the UK and Australia.

 

Although the Guild was initially established to encourage the study of psychology among clergy and other spiritual leaders, today Members come from all works of life. However, the recognition of the need for spiritual and psychological healing in the world remains.

 

The Guild is always happy to welcome new members.
