The Living Psychology of Carl Jung with Gary Bobroff

The Living Psychology of Carl Jung with Gary Bobroff

Gary Bobroff’s work stands at the intersection of psychology, myth, and transformation. He is the founder of Jungian Online, a global client referral service, and JUNG Archademy, which offers live video courses for personal growth. With degrees from the University of British Columbia and Pacifica Graduate Institute, Gary has spent over two decades bringing Jungian thought to life in ways that are both accessible and soulfully resonant. He’s the author of CropCircles, Jung, and the Re-Emergence of the Archetypal Feminine, as well as the bestselling Knowledge in a Nutshell: Carl Jung. Whether through writing, teaching, or speaking around the world, Gary helps illuminate how depth psychology can guide us through times of personal and collective change.

Here Gary explores the enduring relevance of Carl Jung’s psychology, emphasizing psyche as part of nature. Shadow work, archetypes, and synchronicity emerge as essential guides for navigating our fragmented world. Toni Wolff’s often-overlooked archetypal contributions are highlighted for their contemporary importance. Drawing on his own research, Bobroff connects Jungian frameworks with Tibetan Buddhist psychology. The conversation reveals how Jung’s legacy continues to inspire resilience, meaning, and integration today.
