Even though, in Jung’s view, no one is ever done with the process of becoming who we are meant to be, one’s search for wholeness: individuation, the reconciling of opposites is furthered by the tension between oneself and others. Jung wrote that ”Individuation cuts one off from personal conformity and hence from collectivity…(One) must offer a ransom in place of (one)self”…He refers to this ransom as the production of values. In this study group we will discuss 3 films related to individuation as well as readings from Jungian authors provided by the host to enhance in our discussion.
Learning objectives

- Identify the role of the collision of opposites in the search for wholeness
