Individuation
Jung said "The concept of individuation plays a large role in our psychology. In general, it is the process by which individual beings are formed and differentiated; in particular, it is the development of the psychological individual as a being distinct from the general, collective psychology." CW 6 para. 757.
For Jung, individuation is an innate foundational dynamic of the psyche, yet his dry definition fails to capture the magnitude and drama of this drive in our lives. In my talk to the Calgary Jung Society, I would like to elaborate on the process of individuation throughout life as a force for individual development but also for the world.
