“So Much Soul in the AGAP Forum”

Craig Stephenson, Jutta von Buchholtz, Jacquie Wright

… as was said by a participant of this year’s Forum that took place in the historic Helferei in Zurich’s old Niederdof. The Forum 2009 was launched in glorious weather with an evening boat cruise on the beautiful Lake of Zurich, including apero, music by the Frogs, dancing and much reminiscing until the wee hours… “Once upon a time…” The program theme of Symptom Symbol Soul generated much interest and great appreciation for the high quality of lectures and colloquia. These were complemented by an excursion to the CG Jung Institute—with Vincent de Moura’s animating presentation on the “Visions Seminars”—and a trip to the Psychological Club—where Emmanuel Kennedy shed light on details of this intriguing history. The performance of The Jung White Letters and the closing Gala at the elegant Hotel Widder brought events to a spectacular conclusion. Comments by participants confirm their enthusiasm for the overall event:

“AGAP Forum has a very different climate than an IAAP Congress…There is much more soul.”

 “I enjoy and treasure this gathering for its sense of community.”

 “Wonderful venue at the Helferei! Loved being in the Altstadt, close to restaurants and hotels.”

 “We got so much for our money!”

 “…the atmosphere was wonderful and to meet colleagues from all over the world was exciting and joyful.”
