The Child as Image and Reality in Art and Fairytales
September 14, 1991 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PDT
We all share the child because we all experienced childhood and we all carry a symbolic inner child within us on a daily basis until death. Two important avenues into this world are fairy tales and artistic creation.
In this experiential workshop participants will be encouraged to actively share ideas and associations to the material presented to them. The workshop also serves as a container for sharing personal experiences. how do you experience your parents and their value system? Your siblings? Who is your symbolic child? What is the relevance of the inner child in your life? Do we or do we not have easy access? How can you best utilize the wisdom of the inner child?
