Jung at Heart: An Intro to Jungian Journaling Workshop with Jon Sayers – Lapidus London Event
Event Details
- 13:30
- Online via zoom
- From £17
Event Description
In this workshop, we’ll take a deep dive into the wonders of the unconscious with one of its most intrepid explorers. Not many people know that Carl Jung had a serious journaling habit, which became the basis for his entire psychological legacy as the great mapper of the human soul. He was also funny, eccentric and highly inventive.
We’ll be looking at the lighter side of Jung as a way to connect with our deepest selves and to take a peek into the wonderful, terrible and awe-inspiring treasure chest that is the collective unconscious.
Bring your metaphoric snorkel, mask, a waterproof notebook and your best underwater pen!

Using guided prompts and gentle exercises, we will write our way through themes of chaos, healing, and quest, finding words to hold what feels difficult and to welcome what is emerging.
You don’t need any previous writing experience. Whether you are in peri-, mid-, or post-menopause, this is a safe and supportive space to pause, reflect, and discover new ease within the change.

My creative goal-setting weekend is back! The best way to get what you want is to know what you want, and why you want it, in writing as in life. Knowing exactly what you want won’t mean you definitely get it, but not knowing, or being woolly about it, means you almost definitely won’t.
So start the new year with this fun weekend of workshops designed to help you identify the right writing goals for you in 2026 and start on the path to achieving them.
