Selinske photoJung's monumental text will be examined along with his new psychological vision as it applied to personal individuation and clinical use. In particular, the mandala and active imagination will be explored. The second part of the workshop is experiential, giving participants the opportunity to experience what Jung himself did in drawing, engaging in active imagination, dialoguing and circumambulating around drawn images. Participants will be taught a number of ways to interpret mandala drawings which can be applied both personally and clinically.
