Bollingen

The Bollingen Lecture was named after the “confession of faith in stone,” as Jung called his tower—the house he built for himself with his own hands at Bollingen. Over the years, as he would begin to feel that the house was incomplete, he would add rooms and courtyards and even an upper story. Bollingen was always the place where Jung said he felt most deeply himself. Over 20 years ago Bob and Ann Murtha took a leap of faith when they founded a yet to be formed organization they named The C.G. Jung Association of Central Ohio. Now this has become one of the most respected Jungian-based organizations in the country and brings in outstanding, internationally known presenters. We are based in a lovely Victorian house in the Short North area of Columbus which also holds our Library, Bookstore, our highly regarded Gallery, as well as offices for several local Jungian analysts.
