THE SONG OF THE SOUL
The Transpersonal Dimension of Sound and Psyche
Music should be an essential part of every analysis.
Music reaches the deep archetypal material that we
only sometimes reach in our analytical work with
patients. This is most remarkable.
C.G. Jung (Letters, vol. 1, p. 542)
My professional life has been devoted to the healing powers of art and music. In the Zurich Lecture Series, I will share some psychological insights and spiritual experiences from this lifelong voyage with soul and song.
At the core we are all vibrations, musical compositions in motion and that is why we resonate in communion with the world of music.
The human voice is the only instrument that sounds from within, and it is deeply connected to heart and soul. In the timbre and tonal nuances of the voice we can perceive psychic messages – way beyond words. The sound of the voice mirrors what is going on in the depths of psyche and this touches us deeply.
To liberate the voice is to liberate psyche. To free the sound is to free the soul. Singing requires deep listening, instinctual attention, pure vocal presence, and the song is a musical alchemical vessel for psychospiritual transformation. Music is a magical magnet, a sacred gift from the Muses, so that our songs can sound the mana of the Mysterion.

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 For the Series the selected lecturer delivers lectures over a two-day period in Zürich based on a previously unpublished book-length work, which is then published by Chiron Publications.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 2024
You are invited to participate in a day of Postlude lectures following ZLS at the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zurich.

Excursion: Guided walking tour in Basel of sites where C.G. Jung lived and went to school ages 4 to 25
Excursion Coordinator: Kathrin Schaeppi
Saturday 5 October 2024, 10:00–16:00
Meeting place: In the central hall of the Basel Central Train Station. Go down the main escalator and turn right towards the large wall painting: `Lake of Lucerne, Vierwaldstättersee, Lac des Quatre Cantons‘. We meet in front of the large wall painting where you will find some benches. See red circle on the picture below. Kathrin, holding a flag, will be waiting for you there. (The group will depart from here taking tram 8 direction Kleinhüningen).
This guided walking tour visits sites in and around Basel where Jung lived and went to school from ages 4 to 25. As we visit the parsonage where Carl lived and the church where his father worked, an image arises of a fisher and farmer village undergoing industrialization at the end of the twentieth century. The tour continues to the center of Basel where we visit sites related to Carl’s visions and dreams such as the Basel Cathedral, his high school and university. Relevant connections to paintings will be made. Following the tour there is an opportunity to visit reconstructions of two alchemical laboratories.
Duration: 10:00–16:00, including lunch at a café (at own costs)
Cost: CHF 30, not including train and tram tickets at own cost (approx. CHF 67)
Maximum 12 people
Tour is in English
Restrictions: Physical ability to walk for 2 hours in a normal tempo is required.
