C.G. Jung Club London Evening Reading Groups

Hostile Brothers Reading Group      SOLD OUT

Online. 15 sessions, Thursdays, 1 October 2026 – 18 March 2027

This reading group accompanies the Club's 'Year of Focus' on the archetype of the Hostile Brothers.

We will be reading a variety of texts by Jung in chronological order beginning with the chapters 'The Red One' and 'One of the Lowly' followed by the first part of Scrutinies (folio 1-2) in: C. G. Jung, The Red Book - Liber Novus: A Reader's Edition, ed. Sonu Shamdasani (New York /London: W. W. Norton, 2009). We will then turn to Jung's 1920 dream of the Arab youth, his later reflections on this dream and the return of the youth in 1922 in Black Book VII. This will be followed by Jung's 1936 article on Wotan. We will close our reading with sections from Aion. Texts from the Black Books and the Collected Works will be provided.

We hope that engagement with these texts will enhance your appreciation of the various seminars, and that it will stimulate questions and discussion as well as offer the opportunity to examine the relevance and value of these texts for the present day.

Unlike other Club events, this is a committed group limited to 12 people. It will not be possible to participate only in some of the sessions, or to join the group late.
