JUNGSTOP
The first and last stop on your Jungian journey.

Welcome to my blog, Jungstop. Jungstop is your destination for lively commentary on life, dreams, and spirituality viewed through a Jungian lens. I believe that when we better understand the psychological and spiritual forces that form the fabric of our lives, it is easier to discover and follow our unique lifepath. Carl Jung placed great importance on developing consciousness. It is my hope that Jungstop will be a source of nourishment and light on your journey towards consciousness.
