Jung's concept of synchronicity or meaningful chance is one of his most engaging and familiar. In this lecture, Rob Hopcke will be presenting the four aspects of synchronistic events that make up Jung's thoughts on this phenomenon in order to place this notion within the overall context of Jung's theories on analytical psychology. Using his own recent research on synchronistic events within family and love relationships specifically, he will be using these stories to show how synchronicity operates through the archetype of "family" unconsciously to create wholeness in our lives through what seems at first to us like random chance.
