laurens Van der Post Remembers Jung
Lecture at 223 St. Clair
Tony Woolfson
Fri., April 13, 7:30-10pm
Third Floor, 223 St. Clair Ave. W.
Laurens van der Post (1906-1996) was born into a distinguished Dutch family in Southern Africa. While growing up, he digested a vast amount of local native folk-tales and traditions, which became the prima materia of his many books and novels about South Africa. By the age of 20 he had left South Africa for England and a journalistic career. His life and achievements are archetypal in importance: a long career in the British Army, attaining the rank of Colonel; three years captivity in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, memorialised in the book and film, Merry Xmas, Mister Laurence; champion of the rights of the aboriginal inhabitants of Southern Africa, the Kalahari Bushmen; knighted by the Queen; confidant of Prince Charles; and he was married to a Jungian analyst! In addition Laurens van der Post met Jung rather memorably in Zurich in 1948 and they remained very close friends until Jung's death in 1961. Laurens van der Post had a uniquely articulate understanding of Jung, the urgency of his message for our times, and the continuing relevance of his spiritual legacy. In 1978 Laurens van der Post was interviewed by Suzanne Wagner of the Los Angeles Jung Institute for the Remembering Jung series, and it is this film that will form the basis of tonight's lecture.
