Archetypal Animals Studio 1, July 3rd- Aug 21st

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

In this online studio course we will explore internal and external psychological landscapes through the lens of animal archetypes. Across times and cultures archetypal animal images have played a healing role in communities, through individual and shamanic work. These ancient earth connecting practices our ancestors used are ones we also can access…

Together over the 8 weeks each class member will build an animal family that collects personally inspiring and grounding archetypal themes. Weeks will have creative prompts, introductory Jungian terms and sharing of ideas and processes. In our exercises and activities you will be free to use any artistic medium you feel comfortable with, though demonstrations of multiple mediums will be offered - beginning artists welcome. An online space called MIRO will be used to share work virtually.

A tremendous way to learn and create in a shared artistic community and to access some earth centering tools that can be useful in all parts of one’s life. And it can be energizing and fun…
