SUMMARY:The Synchronicity of the Two Red Books [WEBINAR]
DESCRIPTION:Jung\, Tolkein\, and the Imaginal Realm \n\n\n\nby Becca Tarnas \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeginning in the years leading up to the Great War\, both C. G. Jung and J. R. R. Tolkien independently began to undergo profound imaginal experiences. Jung recorded these fantasies in a large red manuscript that he named Liber Novus\, referred to simply as The Red Book. For Tolkien\, this imaginal journey revealed to him the world of Middle-earth\, whose stories and myths eventually led to the writing of The Lord of the Rings\, a book he named within its own imaginal history The Red Book of Westmarch. This workshop explores the many synchronistic parallels between Jung’s and Tolkien’s Red Books: the style and content of their works of art\, the narrative descriptions and scenes in their texts\, the nature of their visions and dreams\, and an underlying similarity in world view that emerged from their experiences. The two men seem to have been simultaneously treading parallel paths through the imaginal realm. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis webinar will consist of an opening lecture on the parallels between Jung’s and Tolkien’s Red Books\, followed by a communal dialogue exploring the meaning of certain key visions and fantasies in C.G. Jung’s Red Book. Participants can expect to engage a close reading of parts of the text and a collective exploration of the illustrations that illuminate Jung’s Liber Novus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBECCA TARNAS\, PHD\, is Assistant Professor in the Philosophy\, Cosmology\, and Consciousness program at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Her research interests include depth psychology\, archetypal studies\, literature\, philosophy\, and the ecological imagination. Becca is an editor of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology and author of the book Journey to the Imaginal Realm. She is currently researching and writing a biography of Stanislav Grof\, a co-founder of transpersonal psychology. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets to Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration to attend this program LIVE ended on Friday\, January 16\, 2026 at 12:00 pm Mountain Time.
