“The collective unconscious -so far as we can say anything about it at all-appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images…In fact, the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious…. – C.G. Jung CW 8, par. 325
Encountering collective images of the unconscious can have healing effects and provide a renewed attitude. Giving form to meaningful inner images through painting provides the participants access to psychic energy from the unconscious. In this 4-week workshop we will work on an ancient Pre-Grecian creation myth, by painting individual symbolic images and sharing the experience of our personal processes with the group. For mental health professionals, the exploration and lived experience of archetypal forces through personal inner imagery is necessary and helpful to guide clients in their search of renewed attitudes and symbolic depth as C.G. Jung proposes in his work.
This workshop is for adults only and no previous experience with painting is necessary.
