The Story of Season 14: Rebirth

Jung Society of Utah Season 14 Phoenix Act 1

The unfolding of a unique season of rebirth.

Season 14 (2022-23)

“To be that which you are is the bath of rebirth. In the depths, being is not an unconditional persistence but an endlessly slow growth. You think you are standing still like swamp water, but slowly you flow into the sea that covers the earth’s greatest deeps, and is so vast that the firm land seems only an island imbedded in the womb of the immeasurable sea.”
– CG Jung, The Red Book

As we emerge from the past few years, we have intentionally crafted a season for you of reinvention. 

The phoenix rising from the ashes is a universal symbol of rebirth, and our archetype for Season 14.

It began with a dream of painting, and then many hands entered the frame, contributing their individual brushstrokes.

The Jung Society of Utah is a community. Our mission is fulfilled through you.

At the summer volunteer party, we brought our core team back together and began with a blank canvas for our season ahead, literally and figuratively.

Our phoenix emerged, and will continue to transform over the course of Season 14, as each volunteer, presenter, artist and musician lends their contributions.

Together, we are recreating our shared sanctuary; a safe space to gather, learn, and author our story forward.

Welcome to Season 14: Rebirth. 

We begin with an opening collaboration with Ecstatic Dance SLC on September 11th: an evening of both intellectual nourishment and embodied healing as a community.

From there, we will welcome you back to our signature evening presentations and depth-oriented workshops, immersed with music, art, and renewed connections.

In all heroic journeys, we come out of the abyss forever changed, and return to a new reality.

The reality of the world we are returning to presents overwhelming challenges. Many calls to adventure lie at our feet.

In honoring the true nature of our community, our history, and the journey ahead, in Season 14 we will elevate the voices of women across diverse backgrounds and perspectives for our entire presenter line-up.

I look forward to learning alongside you, in that open space of light, and to the crucial and creative conversations that inevitably alter our trajectory.

Thank you for being with us and contributing to our collective rebirth.
