“Enlightenment is not imagining figures of light but
making the darkness conscious.”
Carl Gustav Jung
Greater Cincinnati Friends of Jung (GCFJ) was started as a non-profit organization in 1989 by a small group of lay individuals interested in exploring the ideas of C.G. Jung. The present group evolved from an earlier group established in 1983.
In recent years, GCFJ has hosted such well known presenters as Anthony Stevens, Manisha Roy, William Willeford, Gary Sparks, Dean Frantz, Louise Mahdi, Ann Belford Ulanov, Mara-Lea Rosenbarger, Erik Goodwyn, and Richard Sweeney,
In addition, Cincinnati analysts and analysts in training regularly present lectures and workshops.
