Music is the most direct and mysterious way of conveying and evoking feeling. It is a way of connecting one consciousness to another. I think the nearest thing to telepathy is making music together<\/em>. \u2013Oliver Sacks<\/p>\n

Carl Jung discovered the process he later named\u00a0Active Imagination<\/em>\u00a0during his \u201cencounter with his unconscious.\u201d This journey led him to a 16-year project that ultimately culminated in the creation of\u00a0The Red Book<\/em>. Active Imagination has been elaborated upon and utilized through writing, painting, drawing, dancing, and sandplay. However, the application of Active Imagination through music has not been extensively explored or documented.<\/p>\n

Music offers a rich projective field for engaging with the unconscious and the process of individuation. It functions as an archetypal and instinctive phenomenon, operating autonomously within the psyche.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Friday evening program will demonstrate that music serves as a portal to the unconscious and acts as an archetypal force for accessing the collective unconscious. I invite you to explore this idea with me and share a musical experience through Jung\u2019s method of Active Imagination by listening to music together.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0the Saturday workshop, we will delve deeper into the Active Imagination process using several short, selected pieces of music. Materials will be available for you to respond to your experiences through drawing and writing, and one particular piece of music will serve as a prompt for movement, dance, or spontaneous expression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
