An Alchemical Journey
March 22, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PDT
This workshop explores the paradoxical dimensions of alchemy. Alchemy is an ancient art that recognizes the deep, subtle interconnectedness between psyche and the material world. Jung realized that our coming to wholeness is mirrored in alchemy and its varied stages of color and transformative processes. I use alchemical images to take us on a journey of transformation, and explain along the way the psychological dimensions of alchemical processes. We will see how using alchemical images can deepen our experience of the paradoxical dimensions of our everyday world.
