Nearly a century ago, when Freud and Jung witnessed the rise of fascism in Europe, they turned their keen depth psychological eye to cultural nigredo in works such as\u00a0Civilization and its Discontents<\/em>\u00a0and \u201cWotan.\u201d Jungians can follow their example by writing our way through today\u2019s social, cultural, and political nigredo. Indeed, darkness is a writer\u2019s friend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Saturday\u2019s workshop has one aim: to show how writing in the dark is a way to build an enduring relationship with the daimon, a formidable imaginal ally. It is organized around provocative writing and somatic exercises to help participants follow an archetypal image in their work. The aim is to dislodge a purely intellectual approach to the image and inspire soulful, embodied engagement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
