In this conversation, Robert Bosnak, a Jungian analyst who has studied alchemy for 40 years, shares insights into alchemical psychology and how its various phases connect to our own individuation process.

Some of the alchemical phases relate to colors, with “yellow” being a stage of fermentation that takes place between the silver-white stage of reflection and the red stage of action. Action becomes the act of creativity, states Robert, and ultimately as transformation occurs, you begin to realize it’s not the insights you gain through understanding that go into the world, but rather your being that has been affected by the insights.

Robert Bosnak has led several online lecture series, incluiding “Yellowing and the Stone: Fermentation and the Goal of the Opus,” hosted by Jung Platform, in 2016.
