What recent Foundations Course participants have said…

“The SAP Foundations Course has been deeply stimulating and satisfying. I expected a fairly academic
introduction to Jungian thinking. Instead, it has been a very personal experience of learning and sharing with
tutors and other participants.”

“I am a professional in the field and this is not the first course I have attended so far. The Foundation Course
at SAP has been outstanding, inspirational, with the right balance of high calibre academic lectures and small
group discussions; it has helped me in my work with patients and encouraged me to pursue further training. I
highly recommend it.”

“It’s been a stimulating, thought-provoking and moving experience provided by a marvellously diverse range of
inspiring analysts in the company of curious, compassionate and sometimes challenging people. Thank you.”

“It has been a thoroughly worthwhile experience: a chance to learn from expert Jungian practitioners,
accompanied by a diverse group of people whose warmth and engagement have helped make this a true learning
opportunity. All in a wonderful setting surrounded by books. What more could I ask?”

“It has been a unique experience in the sense of finding out more about Jung and Analytical Psychology. Also, the
dynamics of the small group sessions were amazing and, to me, it gave an opportunity for self-reflection and
even self-discovery. It has been a wonderful journey.”

“I found the foundations course very informative as well as a rich and engaging experience. I particularly
appreciated the teaching style which I think distinguishes the SAP: sincere and thoughtful as well as grounded in
the personal experience of the analysts. I really enjoyed the discussion groups, which helped me further digest
the concepts, ask questions and share impressions and personal experiences in a thoughtful and emotionally
engaging way with the other participants. I have also met new colleagues and people with similar interests,
which in itself has been very valuable.”
