Instructor: Max McDowell
Jung Foundation, New York City: begins Wednesday, April 15th, 6.30 pm (Five weeks)
Active imagination helps us to talk with the unconscious: it requires a confrontation between two distinct agents in the psyche. The unconscious produces images; consciousness responds to these images with feeling and tries to understand their meaning. Painting allows us to express vivid, unconscious images.
Before the first class you should read the articles (which are now posted on this web-site, so you can download them if you wish) by Jung and von Franz on active imagination. In the first class we will discuss these articles.
In the next four classes we will work with paints and explore the resulting images. If you have never used paints since grade school, so much the better!
Note: Fee for materials: add $10 to tuition fee.
