On this episode of the podcast, Shaun Lau of No, Totally! stepped in as guest host to discuss my recent trip to Zürich, Switzerland.In November 2015, I finally decided to see for myself the places where Jung lived and worked. Visiting Zürich also gave me the opportunity to meet with some of the most world-renowned Jungian analysts and record a few interviews for the podcast.It was a tense time to be traveling in Europe, in light of the recent bombings in Paris. I had to change planes in Münich coming and going, and airport security was tighter than I’d ever seen it. Zürich was quiet on the surface, but I sensed a general unease. When I visited with Murray Stein, he called the present situation in Europe a ‘tinder box.’I then went on to Rome where the military was present on practically every corner. Brandishing machine guns, I might add. They lined the entrance to the Vatican Museum and were even present on tiny little Tiber Island, guarding the entrance to one of my favorite places – the Basilica of St. Bartholomew the Apostle, former temple of Asclepius. I stayed in a hotel looking out onto the Pantheon, and there was a police car parked under my window every night.The trip began with an 8-hour weather delay in Chicago, a missed connection to Zürich, and an unexpected overnight stay in Washington, D.C. I finally arrived in Zürich almost two days late and had to immediately head to Einsiedeln for my first meeting: the publishing offices of Daimon Verlag and a private sit-down with its founder, Jungian analyst Dr. Robert Hinshaw.Since I don’t like to write – that’s why I started this podcast, I’d much prefer to speak – you can listen to the rest of the story here:
