The Jung Educational Center of Houston is now in its fifth decade of service to the greater Houston community. Founded in 1958, the Jung Center offers over one hundred courses, programs, and conferences every year that address the critical social and spiritual issues of our time as well as the need for personal growth and development.

Every year the Jung Center offers three semesters of courses that challenge the intellect and the soul. Contemporary voices in psychology, religion, and the humanities engage their students in conversations with ancient wisdom traditions on the problem of meaning in personal and cultural, local and global contexts. Students probe the insights of depth psychology; artists teach technique and share their experiences of the healing potential of creativity; internationally-renowned speakers explore such contemporary issues as parenting, addictions, creativity, and new forms of spirituality. Numerous scholarships are awarded to students throughout the year, and a number of programs are presented without charge. The Jung Center is the only facility of its kind in the world that equally emphasizes analytic psychology and the expressive arts of dance, art, music, and body work.

In addition to the courses offered in our lovely facility, the Jung Center offers a wide range of services to the public. Our community outreach efforts include: after-school classes for underprivileged children; programs for cancer patients and their family; on-site courses that support nurses and other allied health professionals; programs to train the volunteer trainers for AIDS Foundation Houston; an initiative to train therapists who work with prisoners at Huntsville State Prison; support groups for professional caregivers; and many other such programs. Almost all of these programs are free to the participants, thanks to the generosity of Houston-based foundations such as The Houston Endowment, the City of Houston, the Episcopal Health Charities, the Hamman Foundation, the Frees Foundation, the Clayton Fund, the Blaffer Foundation, and others. Their support means that the Jung Center can mobilize its trained professionals in this wide range of community service programs. Among our partners in such community- based programs have been M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Place...of Wellness, the Southeast Family Community Center, the AIDS Foundation Houston, St. Joseph's Hospital, the Institute of Religion, Holocaust Museum Houston, the Menil Collection, Da Camera of Houston, and others.

Originally an art gallery, the Carolyn Grant Fay building is located in the heart of the museum district. As an adjunct to its programs, the Jung Center displays exhibits featuring local, national, and internationally known artists throughout the year that are open to the public. The Center has also exhibited photos as part of the international Foto Fest held biennially in Houston. An integral part of the Center's programs, the Center's Bookstore and Library provide an extensive breadth of books in the fields of psychology, religion, and the expressive arts. Members and students may check out books from the library, and the general public is welcome to browse and read.

The Jung Educational Center of Houston is chartered by the State of Texas to provide educational services. Our commitment to the support of the individual who wishes to grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually remains central, even as we become an ever better member of our community through our outreach service programs. We invite you to visit our beautiful facility and to learn how the Jung Center may be helpful to you in your desire for growth.
