This paper analyzes a range of theories of change agency for the purpose of exploring possible ways for individuals to practice social change that are inspired by Jungian thought. The methodology for this paper is a narration of varioustheories of social and organizational change. The study uses variations of the story of the Rainmaker, told by C. G.

The conclusion considers the contribution thatJungian theory can make to the resolution of the tensions that are inevitably engendered by the thoughtful facilitation of social change
