PAINTING FROM WITHIN: Where Jung Meets Art, a workshop with Sondra Geller

Workshop
SOLD OUT. Please join our waitlist.

You will have plenty of space to spread out in to work with tempura paint, large format paper and broad brushes. The goal will be to enter into a mindful place and without many prompts from the facilitator begin to paint expressively. You will be helped to discover your safe space to dip into the well of personal and collective creativity.

There will be time to experience resonance with the shapes and colors that find their way onto your paper.  What do you see?  How does your painting affect you?  It has been shown that even 45 minutes of absorption with making art reduces stress levels.

Reference to Jungian concepts will be introduced.  Active imagination, the descent into our inner landscapes and an invitation to psyche to awaken to the symbolic attitude. All of this can be expected.

JUNG MUST BE EXPERIENCED TO BE UNDERSTOOD.
