The C. G. Jung Institute Alumni Association (JIAA) was created in 2012 by Kim Arndt, with the goal of providing a supportive and collegial post-graduate community for all graduates throughout the world.
In 2026 we wish to continue offering a space for community among Jungian analysts graduated at the CG Jung Institute Zürich across the globe.

This year we are fortunate to have an ongoing group of Yi Jing lead by a dear colleague, Jungian analyst and sinolog Ursula Brasch. This group is open to all interested. We also wish to start a Dream group and an Intervision group. Do get in touch if you would like to participate or lead such initiatives.
We would appreciate a little note from wherever you are. Tell us how you are applying Jung’s views wherever your life unfolds.

On behalf of the board of Alumni, I would like to thank the former board members, and particularly Carlos A. Ferreira for the devoted and loyal work carried as a president during many years until January 2026. It is a great honor to continue with Carlos work. We need several persons to do all the good job Carlos did. Thank you Carlos !

In this challenging times, let us remember that we have the rare privilege of having been initiated in C.G. Jung’s work, experiencing ourselves the great value of a symbolic attitude to the world inside and outside of us. For many years we have been blessed by the whole water of the Alps, running in Switzerland and now part of our own body. Becoming a Jungian Analyst is part of the alchemical process that our soul has the gift to go through.

May all be inspired to find ways to bring Jungian views to the world around us.

Amalia Elsa Maria Carli
President, Alumni Association

 

Our mission statement can be characterized by a quote from Mysterium, “The one-after-another is a bearable prelude to the deeper knowledge of the side-by-side, for this is an incomparably more difficult problem” (CW14 § 206). By holding positions and values side by side we produce a diversity that can be used to promote a more complex, multi-dimensional view of Jungian psychology today.
