We encourage individuals to seek inner wisdom through the exploration of dreams, symbols, and art.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis

Psychotherapy is a process of understanding and overcoming emotional and interpersonal difficulties. Jungian psychotherapy supports the individual through work with dreams, symbols, archetypes, and active imagination.

Jungian psychoanalysis takes place twice a week and is a deeper and more intensive process than psychotherapy. It focuses on understanding the symbolic processes in the unconscious. The emphasis is on the process of individuation – the development and search for one’s own wholeness throughout life.

Creative Therapeutic Workshops

We organize workshops and lectures on borders, identity, history, and the trauma of border regions. We combine psychoanalysis, art, and symbols while encouraging creative expression. Our programs strengthen understanding of mental health in the context of traumas caused by totalitarianism, societal divisions, and polarization, and are designed for organizations, companies, and groups.
