In Memories, Dreams, Reflections Jung writes:

"Only gradually did I discover what the mandala really is:
'Formation, Transformation, Eternal Mind's eternal recreation.' [From Faust, Part II)
And that is the self, the wholeness of the personality, which if all goes well is harmonious, but which cannot tolerate self-deceptions.

My mandalas were cryptograms concerning the state of the self which were presented to me anew each day. In them I saw the self--that is, my whole being--actively at work. To be sure, at first I could only dimly understand them; but they seemed to me highly significant, and I guarded them like precious pearls. " (p. 196-197)

References to mandalas in MDR and in the Collected Works are pervasive. They weave through and permeate the whole of Jung's writings with a constancy and presence that reinforces his insistence of the primacy of the image as the language of the unconscious, and the value of the symbol, a bridge to the unknown.

We invite you to join Library board member and guest presenter, Laura Hensley, LMHC, this Thursday for a warm, inviting, no-pressure exploration of mandala making at the Saint Leo Tampa Education Building.

Register for the Library's video lecture on the Significance of the Ego in Analytical Psychology and receive an invitation to a bonus Q & A scheduled this Wednesday, May 13th from 4-5:30 p.m. (EST)

05/06/2026

Join the C.G. Jung Library of Tampa Bay and Library board member/guest presenter Laura Hensley for a Red Book inspired evening of exploration and visual creativity. We will dive deeply into the symbolic nature, psychological function, and cultural history of mandalas, and participants will be invited to give form and expression to the archetype of the Self by making a “sacred circle” of their own. This will be an easy, low pressure process, and require absolutely no artistic “skill” or training. Art materials will be provided, though participants are welcome to bring their own if they’d like.

What is it about the circular form and its compelling and frequent presence in the cosmos, in our earthly world, and in human culture? Observing its geometry from a symbolic standpoint, it is clear that across time and history, the circle has been regarded as an image of wholeness, unity, integration, and completion. The ritual process of making a mandala produces a container for fragmented and fractured feelings. It centers and soothes the soul and nervous system, allowing us to both embody the form and align our minds with “the Original Whole Self.”
