Course

Sondra Geller

We will use Jungian art-therapy techniques and gesture to explore and make sense of the fundamentals of our life's story. How have these fictions influenced our lives? Have we been bound to living them out? Can we free ourselves from stories that no longer serve us?


Through the use of writing, drawing, and gesture, we will explore the possibilities. Jungian active imagination will be important to our process, along with amplification and experiences that will provide opportunities to develop what Jung called the symbolic function of the psyche.


Please take time before the first class to write one or two pages, double spaced (two copies) of how you would describe your creation myth. Allow yourself poetic license. This is your personal story.


The group will be small; the temenos will be carefully observed.
