Carl and Emma and the Party on Bailey Island, 1938

“The seminar event at Bailey Island was framed by festivities, all kinds of parties, where everybody had the chance to contribute and to meet and talk with the Jungs…. There were also charades, dramatic sketches, singing, and folk dancing. Claire Dewsnap remembers participating in a charade representing the four psychological types, in which she took the part of intuition. Jung, who entered heartily into all these activities, guessed rightly and said, “That must be ‘intuition’ jumping up and down recklessly from the chair to the top of the piano.”

On Kristine Mann and the Mandalas

The mandalas shown on the previous posts were drawn by Kristine Mann, beginning in 1928 when she was a patient of Jung.

Kristine Mann was a medical doctor, and one of the early psychoanalysts in New York in the 1920’s. She and two of her colleagues (Elizabeth Goodrich and Eleanor Bertine) invited the Jungs to Bailey Island in 1938, where Jung talked about Wolfgang Paul’s dreams and alchemy.

The seminar notes cited above are more conversational than found in in Volume 9(1) of his Collected Works, and essentially easier to read.
