About

George-Harold Jennings is the author of Passages Beyond the Gate: A Jungian Approach to Understanding American Psychology, which was named First Runner-Up in the Spiritual category and a finalist for the Montaigne Medal in the 2011 Eric Hoffer Book Award program. His work explores the relationship between science, spirituality, and the symbolic dimensions of human experience. Through his writing and this website, he reflects on how psychology, spirituality, metaphysics, and geocosmology may be understood in relation to one another.

Jennings earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in psychology from Pennsylvania State University. Prior to completing his doctorate, he was a National Institute of Mental Health fellow and later served as a predoctoral fellow in clinical psychology at the Yale School of Medicine. He is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Drew University.

Born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, Jennings has lived in Madison, New Jersey since 1981. He has studied in Europe, taught in Africa, and enjoys travel, teaching, and time with family and friends.

Jennings previously served on the Board of Directors of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology and has been invited to participate in Renaissance Weekend, an invitation-only retreat devoted to the exchange of ideas whose participants are described by the organization as an “incredible mix of preeminent leaders, passionate change-makers, and rising stars of all ages.” His participation reflects his continuing interest in conversations about psychology, spirituality, and the evolving understanding of human consciousness.
