Doing Creativity with Dionysus
January 18, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PST
Working with images, including digital paintings, Oregon landscapes, and alchemy, we engage Dionysian creativity in re-making being, use active imagination, and work our own choice of art. Susan will also introduce Jungian Arts-Based Research as a way of formalizing and communicating what is gained through archetypal and embodied creative practice. As time allows, we will enter Dionysian theatrical space with help from William Shakespeare.
