SoulCollage® A Creative Process for Self-Exploration Join us for an in-depth exploration of SoulCollage®, a process of self-discovery that engages the imagination and intuition to create collaged cards that represent the many aspects of Self. Images chosen are based on participants’ intuitive attraction to them and their personal meaning. This integrative process touches on deeply personal aspects of our ancestral, cultural, communal, spiritual, and psychological histories. Through instruction, collage-making, group processing, and journaling, students will learn to create and then use their cards for self-exploration. Collage is a very accessible art medium and no previous SoulCollage® or artistic experience is necessary. High quality collage materials will be provided by the presenter.

Pittman McGehee What is the meaning of soul? Jung  suggested that we do not evolve in a linear way; rather, we circumambulate, or walk around, the (S)elf. Jung’s concept of the  Self is essential to understanding his approach to human development, which he termed individuation. Jung referred to t he Self paradoxically as “at the center and circumference of the psyche” and “both [the] essence and totality of the individual .” In this class, we explore the structure and dynamics of the psyche, the relation  between the ego and the Self, and the appearance of the Self as the imago Dei, or image of God. Soul and the Phenomenology of the Self is available for purchase online  (as an .mp3 download or deliverable compact discs),   or in The Jung Center's bookstore itself. Contact Elissa Davis (information below) to purchase or reserve your copy today!

Healing Circles are held from 6 - 7:30pm,  on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the  month, at The Jung Center. Click here for more information, or email Becky Dodds if you are interested in attending.
