Presented by Marion Anderson, Ph.D.

During unusual times in the outer world, we resource to the voice of our inner nature, the unconscious. C.G. Jung, in personal times of crisis, resourced to contacting his inner images and found new directions in his outer life. In this online workshop, we will work with symbols of nature while contacting the wisdom of the unconscious to find a balancing standpoint. This 5-week series will include guided imagination and concretely painting those images at the comfort of your home. The last class will give us an opportunity to look at the series of images and attempt some interpretations of their meaning. For this class, it will be necessary to purchase coloring material of your choice and paper. (more detailed information after enrollment.)
Learning objectives:
- Describe Ingrid Riedel’s approach to painting as a form of active imagination;
- Demonstrate how symbolic content can be expressed through painting images of the unconscious;
- Describe how evoking symbols from the unconscious can have a healing effect;
- Describe how this technique can be helpful during times of emotional transition;
- Describe factors, which contribute towards the development of a symbolic attitude;
- Describe how creating an image with the hands can evoke a more active attitude;
- Describe how bringing unconscious images into consciousness can be used to strengthen ego development;
- Describe the advantages of delayed interpretation of symbols;
- Describe the evolution of symbols over a period of guided imagery;
- Describe how to amplify an image within a group process;
- Describe the value of interpreting (or not interpreting) a patient’s productions of the unconscious.
