C.G. Jung's archive left me in awe of the vastness of his clinical expertise and artistic talent. The scope of his work is almost incomprehensible, including over 32000 letters, over 1000 manuscripts, many still awaiting transcription and translation into English. I particularly enjoyed reading Jung’s letters, including his correspondence with Wolfgang Pauli, a quantum physics pioneer and fellow ETH University professor, where the archive is housed.

Today, I had the privilege of spending an entire day at the immersed in Sandplay Therapy, a modality rooted in the work of Swiss psychologist and Jungian analyst Dora Kalff. This experiential process never fails to remind me of its profound simplicity and transformative power.

Engaging in Sandplay Therapy reconnects me to the uninhibited creativity of childhood, where play predates self-censorship. It is a deeply somatic and sensory experience, allowing the unconscious to emerge through symbolic expression.

‘Spirituality is not the same as being happy. Spirituality, according to almost of the world’s great wisdom traditions, requires work, service and sacrifice.’

I don’t want to be ‘McMindful’ but rather extend myself beyond my ‘self’ and contribute to the wellness of all beings

“You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
