This deepening afternoon explores the connection between Carl Jung's theories on self-understanding through art and mythology, and the biblical story of Jonah. Experts will discuss Jung's concept of individuation and the psychological interpretations of Jonah's journey in the underworld.
The event 'Verdiepingsmiddag Jung en Jona' on May 10, 2025, offers a deep dive into the intersection of depth psychology and biblical narratives. Carolien Croon, director of the Bijbels Museum, will explain how Carl Jung believed art and mythology contribute to 'human becoming' by helping individuals understand themselves better. Following this, Bert van der Woude will explore the psychological significance of the underworld, symbolized by Jonah's time in the belly of the great fish, as a representation of the unconscious. This concept is further linked to the museum's exhibition 'Uit het paradijs. Kunst, mythologie, psychologie,' which invites visitors on a journey through art and symbolism to reflect on their own lives. Both Jung and Joseph Campbell emphasized the power of symbolic representations in art to connect with the inner self.
The event costs €18.50 per person, which includes museum access, or €7.50 with a Museumkaart. The program begins at 14:00 with doors opening at 13:30. Visitors can also visit the exhibition 'Uit het paradijs. Kunst, mythologie, psychologie' before and after the event until 17:00.
