This eight week seminar will explore the interconnections between C. G. Jung’s Analytical Psychology and Expressive Arts Therapy: each an image/body based psychotherapy approach.
Through case consultation, arts based experiential process and didactic presentation, participants will learn how to use expressive arts therapy processes individually and in groups, families and couples and understand the images/symbols and the body through a Jungian lens.
Guidelines:
The consultation/supervision will be arts based. So we will be using the arts as supervision tool and an integral way of communicating.
After the first week in each session, one person will present. Each will have an hour and half for presentation, arts processes and feedback. Each participant will prepare about 20 minutes, letting us know your questions and we will explore and process it to deepen your work. Each presenter will also create an aesthetic response to the client as part or your presentation, so that your imaginal life is present and activated too.
Group feedback verbally and through the arts is an active part of our process. I will weave EXA and Jungian theory into each presentation to deepen your understanding and expand your own EXA repertoire. I am leaving the format flexible in other ways to address your desires. We will discuss this further in the first session.
Place and Directions: The group will be held at my office: 57 Post Street, Ste. 602, SF, CA 94104. This is between Montgomery and Kearny, right across from the Crocker Galleria. After entering the building, take the elevator to the 6th floor and go to room 602, the waiting room before hand, then at 10 AM come directly to the office, Rm. 611. I would suggest public transportation or parking at the Stockton Sutter Garage (very inexpensive about $5.00 for 2 hours). Parking on the street might be difficult at that time of day.
