Jung worked with the initial material for 16 years using active imagination and art materials that revealed the inner opposites and illuminated the torment and suffering of becoming conscious. Not only did Jung\u2019s inner\u00a0<em>Red Book\u00a0<\/em>journey transform the deepest levels of his own psyche, but this material, finally published in 2009, continues to influence the development of consciousness in the collective, reminding us that our lived experiences may take us to the depths where we discover the treasures of wholeness.<\/p>\n<p>In this workshop, I will briefly explore how Jung\u2019s personal and clinical experiences provided a foundation for analytical psychology, Jungian art therapy and the expressive arts based on his notion that\u00a0<em>psyche is image<\/em>. We will make use of clinical examples and image-making exercises to experience how the dynamic nature of Jung\u2019s structure of the psyche can often become personally more accessible when we actively use art materials to engage the creative instinct through the making of spontaneous images. These living images transport contents that animate the soul and allow this invisible wisdom to show itself. Rather than interpreting the final image, Jungian art therapy welcomes the lived alchemical process as an opportunity to receive and engage with what emerges at the door of consciousness. Finally, we will consider the compelling question of whether Jung\u2019s pictures are art or images, bringing to the forefront Jung\u2019s enthusiastic encouragement that his patients to create their own\u00a0<em>Red Book\u00a0<\/em>so as to more fully honor their individuation process.<\/p>\n<p><i>Please bring a journal and any portable art materials of your choice such as colored pencils, oil crayons and markers.
