Workshop: Jung's Invaluable Method

This weekend workshop is an experiential introduction to the healing path that Jung walked and lead his patients upon. With sessions from 6:30-8:00 on Friday and Saturday, we move into Mother's day with a greater appreciation of our mothers and all mothers on Sunday. This is a chance to explore our inner depths together.

Is this path for you?

No art "skills" are required or even relevant. This class is about deep transformation. It is ideal for anyone who seeks their: life purpose or soul's calling; a deeper relationship to themselves, others, and their soul; a connection to the unity that underlies reality; and an abiding love that comes from realizing that you indwell an animate or ensouled cosmos. This is not a superficial path for the feint of heart, but a depth experience.

A Life Changing Weekend Retreat

In this retreat we walk an archetypal path that Jung walked following his soul. Learning to navigate by creating and activating images of the unconscious, we balance time together in group sessions with time in partnership and introspection. Weaving in dream prompts, personal mythology, and walks in nature, we explore the psychological terrain within us to find ourselves and way. Come transform with others who walk beside you upon the road. "Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go. They merely determine where you start." Nido Qubein

What people are saying . . . 

This coursework is deep psycho-active or soul activating creativity. It is often described as life changing, offering the gift of getting to know your soul and yourself. It is not easy, but it is profoundly rewarding and life affirming, touching upon the core of who you are and why you are here. At its foundation this is about you being yourself and your soul's call. 
Its beautiful the language that you use. . . I really feel that you have made such a huge contribution to our souls, to our artistic creative selves. . . You have come in and created a furthering of neuropathways and pathways for us to look at the artist, the archetypal artist, and give us a place where we can have soul. I have great appreciation for what you have done with your dissertation. I would like to have a lot more Jungian work like this.

Deep Why

What will you experience on this PATH?
Write your awesome label here.

 An Archetypal Method

There is only one way and it is your way. 

This is a deep dive into what Jung called an invaluable and intuitive method as well as his method. Jung called it a path that he frequently walked, leading his patients. 

An Insightful Path

Learning to see in a new way.

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” C G Jung
Drop into your heart and remember a new and yet ancient way.  

Choosing your PATH

What path to take

This is a path serves the soul and ancestors.

"I failed in my foremost task to open people's eyes to the reality of the soul and the buried treasure in the field." C G Jung

Why travel this path?

People who walk this path often experience greater freedom, insight, self-acceptance, and love. Combining archetypal practices that have stood the test of time, including journaling, art, yoga, dreams, visualization, myth, nature, breath, and shadow work, these practices connect mind, body, and soul to reduce anxiety, depression, fear, dependence, conflict, grief, loss, and trauma, while increasing peace, relaxation, immunity, stability, self-esteem, resilience, mindfulness, and creativity. 

This is a chance to come together to transform

"Don't build a wall around your own suffering- it may devour you from the inside." Frida Kahlo

Come and cocoon over the weekend to transform like the metamorphosis of the butterfly from the caterpillar. Individually we experience the darkness as an alchemical disintegration that precedes integration. In the velvet dark of the cocoon, we liquify into the unconscious waters of imaginal cells to be reborn in a new form. But in the pitch black of the darkness, we can feel lost and alone. This course is designed to help hold us as we transition together through a weekend of depth work. 

Basic Questions

Do you have to know how to draw and other questions. (No.)
Write your awesome label here.

All you have to do is be yourself.

While depth work is hard, calling us to dig into the substance of our past and life, it is more a process of releasing and letting than grasping and striving. It is a process of unlearning as much as learning--of being yourself. Releasing fear and past patterns, we are able to remember the past to move forward in our life.

This is creative play

The Dark Night of the Soul and the Soul of Creativity work and play with the perfect imperfection of our authentic (messy) self and Self. This is a different kind of art than the superficially perfected image behind glass. We will integrate story, creative journaling, active imagination, dreamwork, and shadow play. The mantra of this journey is there is only one way and it’s your way (really your soul's way). So sit back and relax. Your soul knows the way. This is really a path of creative play.

Darkness in the depths

“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” C G Jung  

Journeying from darkness to light

“When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed.” Joseph Campbell


This weekend retreat is scheduled in the evening to align to the darkness, harnessing the power of dreams and the mysterious unknown. While this course digs deep into the archetypal substrata that provides rich nutrients for our growth, it (like all Soul of Creativity offerings) is rooted in the psychology we share: soul. So, on its deepest level, this is about establishing and strengthening your relationship to soul to help guide you through the darkness. It is a time to reimagine and envision yourself and your life. Like a vision quest, you are claiming your power, purpose, and identity in the world. Who are you called to be in your greatness?
