Alan Chapman

How to do what Carl Jung did (without murdering what you claim to speak on behalf of)

Where did Carl Jung’s psychology come from and how did he discover it? How can we walk the same path as Jung without turning the process into a parody - or worse, killing the very thing we seek to participate in? In this talk Alan Chapman will describe how his own personal story of Western esoteric practice and spiritual experience - and especially where it led him - came to reveal itself as the same tradition behind Carl Jung’s psychology. Along with the startling hidden truth running behind the esoteric cultural transformation of the 20th Century.

Alan Chapman is a Western esoteric teacher who guides students through the process of awakening. He is the author of Advanced Magick for Beginners and Magia, and co-author of The Baptist’s Head Compendium with his long-time collaborator Duncan Barford. The two wizards have a current podcast series called Passport Through Hades, which is an ongoing magical and social commentary informed by their current editorial work on the Collected Magical Works of Aleister Crowley. You can watch a summary of Alan's ground breaking research on Crowley that was presented at the Oxford Thelemic Symposium last year, and enjoy the free library of video and audio recordings of Alan’s teaching material, over at www.barbarouswords.com.

General information

Since the early eighties, the C.G. Jung Public Lectures have played an important part in establishing and maintaining Bristol's reputation as an acknowledged centre of interest in Depth Psychology.

The monthly lectures are on current issues and topics broadly related to the field of analytical psychology and are given by a variety of professional and established speakers. They are open to everybody with an interest in depth psychology, the therapies, philosophy, religion, mythology, life and the arts.

The aim is to provide a friendly, informal space for Jung's ideas and philosophy to reach a wider public. There is time for refreshment, socialising, and networking after the lecture followed by participative discussion with the speaker in the round.

of Jungian and Analytical Psychology titles (also at reduced prices)!
