“The Orphan archetype” – and how the experience of difference, loneliness, abandonment, exile – might help us find our way home and to a place of belonging.

We will consider Jung’s understanding of the meaning of this complex for individuation. Examples from literature, fairy tale and dreamwork will help in understanding how this archetype of “the psychological orphan” affects our lives .

“The soul has its own peculiar world. Only the self enters in there or the man/woman who has completely become him/her self.”
C.G Jung, The Red Book, p.236
