Observations on Jung, Religion, and Spirituality, With Rev. David Hett

The C. G. Jung Association of Central Ohio (JACO) grew initially out of depth psychology groups begun at First Community some 40 years ago. We have asked Rev. David Hett, Dean of The Burkhart Center, to present the December “Second Saturday” program, on the topic of Carl Jung’s (and followers) perspectives on religion and spirituality. Dr. Jung was the son and grandson of Protestant ministers and so brings much perspective on Christianity into his psychological work, as one of the preeminent founders of the depth psychology movement in the 20^th century. Second Saturday programs are free and open to the public, and this one will be in-person at First Community South: 1320 Cambridge Blvd. 43212  Scroll below, please, to register (RSVP).

Rev. Hett, clergy member of First Community, has been a student of depth psychologist Carl Jung, and served for years on the JACO board of directors, and will bring his own insights into the interplay of Jungian thought and practice with Christian religious concepts particularly. With no claims to be an expert on Jungian psychology, he will, with his more extensive background in psychological-spiritual work, present observations on spirituality, psychology, and practice that foster personal growth and integration of personality and essence, of the human with the divine qualities of our true nature.
