Tuning In to Effective Listening and Tuning Out the Inner Monologue Learn to communicate more effectively by observing the moods, emotions, and physical sensations that influence how we listen and speak. According to R.D. Laing, “The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.” In this fun and interactive workshop, a variety of exercises will help us notice the ways we communicate. By increasing awareness and observing ourselves in dialogue, we can encourage deeper, more meaningful conversations.

Bookstore and Library The Power of Meaning by Emily Eshfahani Smith Too many of us believe that the search for meaning is an esoteric pursuit - that you have to travel to a distant monastery or page through dusty volumes to discover life's secrets. The truth is, there are untapped sources of meaning all around us - right here, right now. To explore how we can craft lives of meaning, Emily Esfahani Smith synthesizes a kaleidoscopic array of sources - from psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, and neuroscientists to figures in literature and history such as George Eliot, Viktor Frankl, Aristotle, and the Buddha. Drawing on this research, Smith shows us how cultivating connections to others, identifying and working toward a purpose, telling stories about our place in the world, and seeking out mystery can immeasurably deepen our lives. Inspiring and story-driven, "The Power of Meaning" will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking a life that matters. Pick up your copy today and get acquainted with Emily's ideas.  She'll be sharing them with us at our Fall Benefit! The Power of Meaning this title is available online and in The Jung Center's bookstore itself.  Please contact Elissa Davis (information below) to purchase or reserve your copy today! For more information, please visit our website or contact Elissa Davis, Director of Retail Sales and Customer Service, at 713.524.8253 ext. 18 or bookstore@junghouston.org.   Art Gallery September in our gallery...   As the boundary dissolves between inner and outer, between waking and dreaming, a rush of images floods our minds.

Healing Circles are held from 6 - 7:30pm, on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month, at The Jung Center. Click here for more information, or email Becky Dodds if you are interested in attending.
