At the heart of the two tower, the quest for the Grail according to the different ages of life

Carl Gustav Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz belong to the long tradition of thinkers who opened perspectives on the inner world as a means of nurturing an enlightened and conscious life. The Association Marie-Louise von Franz & Carl Gustav Jung continues the legacy of the founder of analytical psychology and his most loyal collaborator, while attuning its activities to contemporary dynamics. The association engages in exploring the inner world with emphasis on the “lived” aspects of human experience, as well as those that are “thought.” With this in mind, the author offers a personal interpretation of the adventures of Perceval, The Story of the Grail (by Chrétien de Troyes). Although there is only one legend of the Grail, he suggests there may be several different quests for the Grail, depending on one’s stage in life.
