Introduction
What people are saying . . .
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.

Reflecting on Soul
Week 2. Soul Reflection
Seeing Through Soul: Envision Yourself
Soul portraiture is about seeing yourself through the eyes of your soul and seeing yourself in a new way. It is about reflective sight and insight: deep seeing. The first week you begin to look within and really open your eyes to see who you are. Invite dreams and visions to open your eyes.
Week 3. Soul Seed
Sketching an Image: Envisioning Self
Soul portraits are created in layers. To begin you are imagining into the blank canvas as you imagine into yourself and your soul. To document this process you will be journaling and mapping your experience. Then you will integrate this information into a soul sketch that will serve as the foundation of your portrait composition.
Week 4. Soul Calling
Serve Inner Need: Activate the image
With the material from visioning and journaling sketched, you begin to constellate and activate your soul's image. This involves a back and forth dialogue with your soul that speaks through the portrait, bringing you a vision from the unconscious. As you create the portrait composition, you are creating a blueprint for yourself and future.
Week 5. Soul Portrait
Embody Your Soul: Create Your Composition
This week is an immersion into the process of creation in which you view and respond to your portrait. Following the thread of the soul's imagery, you will cultivate a practice of deep listening and seeing. In your back and forth you are cultivating a greater and more intimate line of communication and communion with your soul.
Manifesting a Vision
Week 6. Soul Revelation
Soul-centered Design: Symbolic Creation
As you sketch in your composition you are revealing the underlying vision of the soul, emerging from the unconscious. In this process, symbolic images are revealed and integrated in your design. You will see a connection or experience a revelation as you realize things about yourself and your soul that you had not fully or consciously know.
Week 7. Soul Colors
Paint Your Vision: Adding Color
When ready you will begin to add color. This could be in any form as you choose your color pallette. Colors speak their own language of symbolism and emotion. They add layers of depth and meaning, offering a way to blend and explore the relationship between colors and compositional elements. Color allows you to move closer to the energy and emotion behind the image, to touch and understand.
Week 8. Soul Texture
Animate Your Portrait: Living Image
Add layers of paint and texture to bring your portrait to life. It is a healing image that reflects back to you the soul contact of your portrait process, calling on you to remember past revelations and see through into even deeper mystery. This image is an icon of your Self and soul. It is a healing affirmation and steppingstone to your future.
Week 9. Soul Healing
Accepting Your Self: Healing Wholeness
Art is a creative process that many, like the psychologist Carl Jung, have called a healing and a teaching. What does your art teach you and how can it heal you? Meditate on what you art offers you beyond the superficial image. Look beyond the surface of the canvas to see beyond. What do you think, feel, or intuit? Let the answer emerge.
