When can I register?
Registration for the Embodied Jung Conference has been postponed due to the uncertainties of Covid-19. We are hoping to know more by the end of March. Please make sure you have entered your contact information in the “Subscribe” section of this website in order to be contacted as soon as registration begins. Registration will be limited to 60 participants.
What is the cost? Will scholarships and work-study be available?
The fee of the Conference will be posted by the end of January.
Our goal is to make the conference as financially accessible to the widest range of participants as is possible. The base cost of room and board at the Abbey is quite reasonable, which will enable us to keep registration fees low.
Is partial attendance available?
We do not plan to make partial Conference attendance available. Because the Embodied Jung Conference has a strong experiential component (we are asking presenters to adhere to a minimum of 50% experience and no more than 50% didactic), full participation by everyone will allow sufficient time to “drop down” into one’s experience and will support the creation of a safe temenos (healing vessel) for all.
What if I have special dietary needs?
The Abbey is an internationally renowned education center and the cooking staff is experienced in working with those who are vegetarian, have food sensitivities and/or allergies.
What if I am differently-abled?
We welcome participants who have disabilities and the Abbey is well equipped for various mobility issues. For other types of disabilities please contact us at info@cgjungbody.com in order to establish whether any needed assistance would be available by one of the Embodied Jung Conference organizers or might require you to bring or arrange for an attendant.
