Painting the Psyche: Wonders of the Dream World

Instructor: Maria Taveras, LCSW

This workshop on “Painting the Psyche” will be an opportunity to experience and explore archetypal images that emerge from what Jung calls the creative imagination. We will delve into the depths of the psyche to render in paint a visual of the dream image and to amplify what the dream world so wondrously reflects to us. With watercolors as our medium and paintbrushes as our instruments, we will depict a dimension that is extraordinarily difficult to discern. We will rediscover the dream world and give form, in detail, to its expressions and engage in an in-depth elaboration of what it so profoundly implies and portends. Together as a group, we will share our felt experiences of the creative process. Watercolors, brushes, and paper will be provided.
Fee for materials: add additional $20 to tuition fee.
