When Psyche Sings:
Jungian Music Psychotherapy
with Joel Kroeker
"…the role of the enigmatic musical psyche in guiding us through our life journey."
Music is everywhere in our lives, both waking and sleeping, inside and out, but much of our musical ecosystem remains unheard.
Joel Kroeker offers a rare experiential glimpse into the enigmatic process of Jungian psychoanalysis through the lens of musical expression.
Learn how you unconsciously make meaning from sound.
Explore the relativity of your acoustic perception within our collective sound-time continuum. Experience the value of taking a symbolic approach to your musical ecology.
This course explores how we relate with music personally, clinically, and collectively by gazing through the lens of depth psychology and the wider work of contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives. Within this experiential investigation, we explore together various musical approaches to finding meaning within our human experience, including aspects of joy, creativity, grief, anxiety, transitions, pain, and the depressions of life.
By distilling music into its basic archetypal elements, Joel Kroeker illustrates how to rediscover our place in the confrontation with deep shadow and highlights the role of the enigmatic musical psyche in guiding us through our life journey.

As a musician and student of Jung, I have been waiting for Joel's book on Jungian Music Psychotherapy all my life. Intelligently and comprehensively, Kroeker explores the musical in every aspect of psychotherapy. If you have any musical sense at all, you will enjoy this sophisticated way of seeing how music makes art out of life.

How the transcripts are helpful
We put a lot of love and effort in creating transcripts for you. The transcript makes it easier to integrate new concepts.
You can also go back and double-check quotes and names that are mentioned.
Having the transcripts allows you to quickly add your notes of the ideas rather than transcribing the whole lesson.
Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching.
