Center of the Cross
Depth PsychologyChristianityBecoming Human

Where is the centre?

An emerging space for dialogue between Jungian psychology and Christianity, grounded in a question for our time: what does it mean to become fully human today?

The Center of the Cross seeks to cultivate new forms of individual and collective change through podcasts, essays, gatherings and dreams. It begins with attention to the inner life and moves outward to the bonds between us. At the center of the cross, religious experience and the symbolic imagination meet in the lives we lead, within ourselves and with one another.

An initiative by Jungian analyst Jakob Lusensky in Berlin, together with fellow seekers from around the world.
