Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz and Christiana Morgan all dedicated time, soul and imagination to a peculiarly Jungian form of architecture: the stone tower. This week host Deborah Stewart is joined by Dr. Martin Gledhill, an architect, author and Jungian scholar, and filmmaker Hilary Morgan, the granddaughter of Christiana Morgan, an eminent American psychologist who collaborated with Jung on some of his most important work. Deb, Martin and Hilary explore Jung’s Bollingen Tower and Christiana Morgan’s Tower on the Marsh, discussing the profound expressions of psyche through place. Both towers render psyche in art, carvings and stone. They are more than just physical places, they are architectural explorations of Self and soul. The two towers are what Martin calls “restless places”: dream-like in ambience, shaped through an ongoing, iterative process, and surrounded by differing, sometimes conflicting, accounts of their evolution.Follow Up Read Martin Gledhill’s book, The Bollingen Tower: Constructing a Jungian Sense of PlaceWatch (for free) The Tower of Dreams - a film by Hilary MorganConnect With This Jungian LifeSend a ⁠⁠dream⁠⁠ for us to analyze on the show.Check out our TJL ⁠⁠podcast merch⁠⁠.Follow This Jungian Life on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠.
