Recently, I have put a great deal of study into synchronicity (briefly, the “rupture of time”), and I have established that it closely resembles numinous experiences where space, time and causality are abolished.

C.G. Jung Speaking, Eliade’s Interview for “Combat

Synchronistic experiences mysteriously appear in our lives, often placing us on new pathways in life. Jung called these experiences “meaningful coincidences” and coined the term “synchronicity” to describe the phenomenon. What really are synchronicities? What ways do they appear in our lives? How can we learn to open ourselves to these experiences and learn what they are telling us? What role do synchronicities play in therapy? In this workshop, we explore these questions while delving into Jung’s discovery of synchronicity. We will also consider the transpersonal dimensions of these experiences.
