\u201cThe spiral is the <\/em>most ancient<\/em> symbol of evolution;
\nit represents the idea of constant growth,
\nof something that keeps <\/em>unfolding<\/em>
\nand <\/em>regenerating<\/em> in ever-expanding circles.\u201d\u2028<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 Carl G. Jung, Man and His Symbols<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The spiral is one of our most ancient and profound symbols. From the patterns of galaxies and plant growth to the mandalas and labyrinths of sacred traditions, the spiral is a universal motif that connects nature, psychology, and spirituality.<\/p>\n

In this three-week course, we will explore the spiral symbol through the lenses of Jungian psychology, mythology, alchemy, and art.<\/p>\n

Led by artist and educator Chantal Powell, you will uncover the spiral as both a natural and psychological pattern, a path to the divine, and a symbol of transformation. We\u2019ll examine its presence in nature, sacred traditions, mythology, and art, delving into its role in spiritual ascent, self-discovery, and renewal. The course culminates with a special in-conversation event with Dr. Amy Hale and Simon Moretti, exploring the spiral\u2019s significance in esoteric art, mystical thought, and contemporary creativity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
