Lecture & Workshop: Healing through the Arts and Liberating Creativity
Shaun Mcniff
Lecture Healing Through the Arts and Jung’s Practice of Active Imagination
Discover how everything that happens today with the arts and Healing was anticipated by C.G Jung’s practice of active imagination. Whenever illness is connected to a loss of soul, the arts appear spontaneously as medicines. The lecture will explore the dynamics of healing through the creative process and how to cultivate spaces that support this work.
Workshop Liberating Creativity: Shape-Shifting Amongst the Arts
With movement acting as the basis of expression in different media, we will create a safe environment to explore how the creative process carries us to new realms of experience and understanding. This multi-arts workshop offers opportunities to let go of inhibition and cultivate responsiveness to the creative force as you practice “shape-shifting” between different forms of expression-painting, body movement, vocal improvisation, poetic dialogue, ritual and performance. Discover how to suspend critical self-judgment and transform conflicts, mistakes, doubts and fears into material for artistic expression. Learn how to trust the process in keeping with Jung’s concept of the purposeful psyche and let it take you where you need to go.
