Modern day artists are defying, subverting, and disrupting the idyllic happy endings of folk and fairy tales that they were taught decades ago. Historically stories, myths and fairy tales have been outgrowths of the archetypal world of the collective unconscious. These stories have informed our psychological growth throughout decades. This course will give participants an opportunity to explore in depth a variety of stories related to the elements and alchemical processes of water, fire, earth and air. The stories will reflect the hero/ine's journey through each of these elements as both a journey through and a vessel that contains transformation.

Jungian Dream Interpretation

A dream uses an imagistic language we can decipher. This language is universal, the same as used in myths from stone-age cultures. A dream shows us the next possible step in our developing personality. It warns us if we are going astray, encourages us if we need it, or offers penetrating insights into our confusion. We work together as a team and have fun. We confirm or disconfirm each interpretation with experimental evidence. We will not work with class members’ dreams. Please bring a dream, with permission, from a family member or friend.

Fall IIHow Do We Overcome the Power of Unconscious Patterns
that Hold Us Back?

Beginning November 11, 2024
Distinguished Senior Instructor:
David Rottman, MA

This course is not offered for NYS CE contact hours.

Although we get what Jung means when he talks about “living under the negative influence of a major complex,” Jung often said he preferred the term “curse” (as compared to the newer psychological language), because the old term did a better job of conveying the experience of pain and suffering of real people.

In this course, we will explore what it means to live in the persistent grip of a dark and unhappy pattern, and how three such patterns can best be resolved, redeemed, and overcome.

Get ready for an interactive journey into the depths of dreams in visual form. This hands-on course on Painting/Sculpting the Psyche is a unique opportunity to explore and express dream images through art. We will delve into the depths of the psyche, rendering the image by painting or sculpting a visual of the dream image and amplifying what the dream world so mysteriously illustrates. We will depict an extraordinarily difficult dimension to discern with watercolors and paintbrushes and with our hands for those interested in sculpting their dream images with Roma Italian Plastilina, a plastic modeling clay.
