The artist, the alchemist/magician, and the activist are distinct archetypal manifestations, yet their patternings merge in a powerful hybridity that blurs distinctions and challenges perceptions of the nature of creativity and its power to reveal and transform. 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–not 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.
