Dreaming Animals: Individuation in a Jungian Analysis

December 8, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PST

$110.00
workshop:

By following a series of animal dreams from a profoundly creative woman artist, we move into and through the individuation process of her eight-year analysis through her dying and conscious death.   Here we find psyche’s deep instruction, beauty, and assistance in life’s completion. Epiphany–the direct experience of Deity–came via dreams and in a vision of an animal before her death. This series of dreams illustrates and makes accessible the dignity and depth of Jungian Psychoanalysis. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to work with their own animal dream images.  Please bring drawing materials and journals.
