ISAPZURICH and CHIRON PUBLICATIONS
present
Nancy Swift Furlotti, PhD
Due to health issues, Keiron Le Grice will not be the speaker at this year’s annual Zurich Lecture Series event. His lectures have been postponed to 2023. Instead, we are pleased to announce that Nancy Swift Furlotti has agreed to step in and will present four lectures on “The Lasting Relevance and Vision of Erich Neumann’s Work.” The lectures will take place as previously scheduled in the program.
The Lasting Relevance and Vision of Erich Neumann’s Work
Erich Neumann was a close friend and collaborator of C.G. Jung. Even though 30 years younger, he challenged Jung’s thinking on many occasions, pushing him to re-examine concepts and viewpoints regarding analytical psychology. In these lectures, I will begin with an introduction to Erich Neumann, looking at who this exceptional man was, his relationship with Jung, and his move from Berlin to Palestine before WWII. I will also explore a series of watercolors he painted after his move and during the war to get to know him more personally as well as witness his psychological struggles in his new homeland at a very turbulent time in history.
From there I will turn to examining the correspondence between Neumann and Jung, and then delve into Neumann’s early writings, focusing on his work on the stages of development of consciousness, considering the results when it is successful, and what the individual and cultural implications are when it is not successful. The seeds of all Neumann’s other writings and interests will be touched upon as well. These include: a new ethic and the nature of evil, the roots of Jewish consciousness, the brother motif, stages of consciousness, mythology, the Great Mother, development of the feminine, and the child. Neumann presented all his works with creative passion, extensive experience, and extensive knowledge, and they continue to be an important resource for the understanding of depth psychology. His writings are a deep well that we can revisit to nourish the creative sources of our own work as therapists and our lives as individuating human beings.
This program will be live at ISAP and live-streamed via Zoom. You can purchase Zoom attendance below on this page. See our Zoom Lectures page for more details.

About the Zurich Lecture Series
The ZLS was established in 2009 for the purpose of presenting annually a significant new work by a selected Jungian psychoanalyst or scholar who has previously offered innovative contributions to the field of Analytical Psychology by either: bringing analytical a psychology into meaningful dialogue with other scientific, artistic, and academic disciplines; showing how analytical psychology can lead to a better understanding of contemporary global concerns relating to the environment, politics, religion; or expanding the concepts of analytical psychology as they are applied clinically. For the Series the selected lecturer delivers lectures over a two-day period in Zürich based on a previously unpublished book-length work, which is then published by Chiron Publications.
Postlude to the Zurich Lecture Series 2022
You are invited to participate in a day of Postlude lectures following ZLS at the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zurich.

01 29 Lecture | Nature and Mysticism: The “Divine Thou” and our Relationship to Inner and Outer Nature
The ecological transition, which is so urgently needed, calls for a fundamental shift in our worldview as well as in our identity. The realization that we are one with, not separate from, nature can be a mystical experience. How can mysticism itself inspire a new relationship with our inner and outer nature?
