Jeffrey T. Kiehl, M.A., Ph.D.

My journey in becoming a Jungian analyst began over twenty years ago when I became interested in mythology and the writings of Joseph Campbell. It was through Campbell’s writings that I discovered the works of Carl Jung. I was fascinated that Jung believed in both the light and dark sides of the psyche, and that he had discovered a self-regulation process of the psyche. I am very interested in our connection with Nature and in healing our relationship with the natural world. I feel this relationship is a manifestation of what Jung called the Self, the archetype of wholeness.

Originally trained as a climate scientist, I returned to school to get an M.A. in psychology from Regis University. I completed my analyst training with the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts (I-RSJA) and am a Diplomate Analyst with both the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts and the International Association of Analytical Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado and have also received training in Gestalt therapy. I give workshops & lectures on various topics, including: Personal Myth and the Lord of the Rings, The Life & Psychology of C.G. Jung, The Anima in the World, and Psyche & Nature. I have a Ph.D. in the Atmospheric Sciences, and have carried out research on global climate change for thirty years.

Annie Meyer, M.A.

Annie Meyer is a Jungian Analyst in private practice in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. She was trained as a Jungian Analyst candidate by the Denver training group and graduated from the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, IRSJA, in 1994. She was a member of the board of the C. G. Jung Institute of Colorado for sixteen years and has been a core faculty member of the Institute for the past eighteen years. Annie was born in France. At the age of thirteen, she came to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and Steamboat has remained her home base for the past fifty years. For ten years, she lived on a seashore farm in Nova Scotia at the edge of the sea. There, she raised her children as well as numerous other creatures. She also went to school to become an elementary school teacher. She returned to Steamboat to live and teach. She eventually began a Jungian analysis and found her way to the Denver training group.

These are some of her thoughts about analysis: I feel that a most important aspect of a Jungian analysis is the willingness of two people to sit together and spend time with the details of a life, often with the attendant dreams, on a regular basis. There we listen caringly, with curiosity and without judgment to the daily happenings of our life. It is a spiritual practice. We have to practice leaving judgment behind, the idea that we could have done it better or different or other. We have to practice at being curious and interested. It helps reconnect with a sense that we are on a journey from birth to death, and that our life is ever evolving and the process of it can never be finished or perfect, what Jung refers to as the individuation process. We then become more patient with ourselves. All that is asked of us really, is that we show up every day to life, whatever it brings us, that we engage it and work with it as best we can. Dreams keep us interested and curious and connected to that inner process of life. They provide us with information about where our inner self is trying to lead us on this journey of ours, which is sometimes quite different from what we think it should be.

Mark Palmer, Ph.D.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and diplomate Jungian analyst (C. G. Jung Institute of Colorado) with a private practice in Denver. I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and a Ph.D. in Interpersonal Communication. Before becoming an analyst, I taught communication, management, and counseling courses at several universities (Northwestern, California State University, Northridge, Pepperdine University, and Regis University in Denver) with an emphasis on how relationships create and are created by face-to-face interactions. This training and research has served me well as a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst.

My own analysis and training over the past decade and a half have sharpened my curiosity and increased my focus on the psyche and the mysteries it holds. My researches into the collective unconscious have been drawn to the father and patriarch archetypes, and the nature of sacrifice and power these archetypes seem to impose on our lives. More recently, my personal and professional lives have led me to wonder and study the existence of paradox, contradiction, and oppositional tensions in the fabric of the psyche. Other fun activities include exploring the mountains with my family and spending time with friends.

Glen Carlson (d) August 2, 2016

Glen Carlson was a Senior Jungian Analyst in Denver, Colorado. He received an MA in English from San Francisco State and received his analytic diploma from the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich, Switzerland in 1977. Prior to his work as a therapist, Glen was a music teacher in Northern California, teaching Guitar and composition. In addition, Glen is a WWII Veteran of the Army Air Corps and was stationed in Asia where he “flew the hump” (Gasoline tanker flights from India to China over the Himalayas) and was a radio man on a B-29 crew. Glen’s varied life experiences served to inform his work later in Analytical Psychology. In 1971, Glen and his wife Jean departed their home in northern California and traveled to Europe where they met up with an old friend who was studying in Zürich on a sabbatical. It was here that Glen discovered his life’s work, Jungian Psychology. He and Jean remained in Zürich for the next 6 years. While at the Institute, Glen worked and studied with Arnold Mindell, Barbra Hannah and Marie Louise Von Franz, among others. Glen and Jean returned to California after his graduation, and they moved to Denver, Colorado shortly after, in 1980, to begin their practices. Glen joined the CG Jung Institute of Colorado in that year and was an active member for many years, serving as President until his retirement. Glen retired from practice in 2002. During his years as a Jungian Analyst, Glen’s work focused on individual analysis, as well as teaching and lecturing in Colorado.

Jean Carlson (d) March 12, 2021

My life began in the wild and beautiful upper peninsula of Michigan. One of 7 children, we had enormous freedom to wander the fields and deep woods around our town, being required only to be home when the church bell rang. Later when my family moved down to Gross Point, a suburb of Detroit all that changed, and my three brothers and I struggled to become civilized. At age 21 and influenced by an older friend from NY, I was seized by a desire to live in Greenwich Village and find a job writing. In spite of my parents pleading, I headed east, stumbled into a job copywriting, and found a place in the Village. My brother Martin was enrolled in Columbia Law and this helped satisfy my parents concerns. Several years later I married and we had three children: Sarah, Ernie and Liz Stires. My restless young husband moved us first to Washington state and later to San Francisco and then across the bay to Mill valley, after which he took himself back east and we were divorced. Seeking to restore my life, I opened an art gallery in Mill Valley with 2 friends. We held Saturday night events and one of these was a group called The New Albion Trio in which Glen Carlson was a member. We struck up a friendship and a year later we married. In time his son Minor Carlson came to live with us. In 1970, a friend in training at the San Francisco Jung Institute introduced us to the work of C.G. Jung. When he went on a grant to Zurich, his letters kept saying “this is your kind of place, you should come here”. How to do it? One night the way forward came to me and we began planning. We arrived in Zurich March 1971 and subsequently Glen was accepted into training. I had no advanced degree, but took nearly every class offered and loved it; at the same time I completed a BA through an external program from Skidmore College in New York. In 1977 Glen graduated and we returned to Mill Valley where I applied and was accepted into a Masters program at Sonoma State University for which Dr. James Hillman was a visiting professor. I wrote my thesis on the Archetype of the Outsider. In 1980 we pulled up stakes and came to join the newly formed Jung Institute of Colorado, and I applied to the IRSJA and was accepted for training. My thesis was entitled “The Female Hero on the American Landscape.” In 1984 I graduated from Jungian training and later served on the admissions committee for 4 years. Additionally, I served for many years on the board of the newly founded Jung Institute here in Colorado. It has been an interesting life.
