The Soul of Creativity is based on a connection between our nature and nature—biological, psychological and ecological. Deeper still, it is rooted in the alchemical or transformational connection between spirit and matter that guides us as we co-create with nature. Initiating ourselves into the mystery of the depths, we begin to commune and communicate with soul, mediating between the unconscious and conscious—body, mind, and spirit. This is a path that leads down but circles around, following the soul from sunset to sunrise to witness the glory of the morning star and the light of a new dawn. This is a rite of passage into ourselves.  

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.

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