This talk will highlight the work of contemporary creator\/ theorist\/activists who exhibit this type of hybridity alongside the work of C.G. Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz, and James Hillman. The more esoteric writings and practices of these three depth psychological icons offer revelatory insights into psyche, matter, and creative processes; insights that hold tremendous value\u2013not only for those who identify as creative individuals, but for anyone called to a co- creative\/co-operative and activist relationship with nature, society, and the cosmos.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Antonia Wood, PhD, is a visual artist, writer, and Chair of the M.A. Depth Psychology &#038; Creativity Program with emphasis in the Arts and Humanities at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA.
