Six seasoned explorers of synchronicity share their insight into the topic, including how synchronicity, as an experience or as a principle, plays a vital part in their professional work.
This is the inaugural set of talks in a new ‘Beyond Jung’ series hosted by the Pari Center, honouring the seminal work and inspiration of the Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung. Our title, ‘Living Synchronicity’, refers to both the vital contemporary importance of synchronicity and the possibility of our living more synchronistically. Beginning with this topic seems especially apt in view of the seminal contribution to the study of synchronicity by the founder of the Pari Center, the late David Peat.
Synchronistic experiences—meaningful coincidences—are often described as profoundly significant both personally and sometimes also at a more than personal level. Meanwhile, synchronicity as a principle—acausal connection through meaning—is often claimed to have radical implications for how we understand reality. Jung himself associated synchronicity with a unitary worldview, and he developed the concept as a form of holistic epistemology to address what he saw as the perilous one-sidedness of modern experimental science when decoupled from the realms of meaning and value.
In this series of talks, six seasoned explorers of the topic—from scientific, scholarly, psychotherapeutic, divinatory, and creative backgrounds—share some of their insights into the nature and importance of synchronicity and how it has played into their lives and professional work.
