Frida Kahlo and an Exploration of Character Structures
March 8, 2008 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PST
In the Saturday workshop, we will look at how Frida Kahlo’s basic relational pattern may be seen as a portrait of one of three identifiable relational patterns that inform our character structures. Dr. West will describe each of these structures and their underlying archetypal landscapes through various fairytales, myths and other artists’ works, again, accompanied by numerous images. Following the essential Jungian premise that we transform through deeply meeting ourselves, we will employ these perspectives on character to reflect upon ourselves individually, as well as upon the state of our world at this time.
