| Make Your Own Red Book Workshop |
 |
Sun., May 19th, 2013
2-5 pm
Cost: $35
with Nina Ross, PhD
Do you have a personal mystery? A question you want to pose, and find answers for? Do you want to find a way to your personal truths? This class will show you how to make discoveries beyond what you may consciously already know, using these inspirations for personal art making.
"Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain." Carl Jung had a secret book of his own understandings only recently shared with the public: The Red Book; and he felt that anyone could make their own. In this class, participants will have the opportunity to begin to create a visual journal based on their personal imagery, intuition, and active imagination. Through guided meditation and discussion participants will tap into their own rich inner worlds. Materials included. Bring any special tools you want to use.
Limited space: call 247-1172. Registration and Pre-payment required
Nina Ross has a PhD in the Psychology of Art from Union Institute. Nina has studied with James Hillman and others in the field of Archetypal Psychology. She is a licensed and registered Art Therapist in New Mexico with over 25 years experience working with people through art. www.ninarossphd.com |
