Jungian psychology views challenging relationships as necessary catalysts for transformation, treating them as “alchemy of the soul”
where the base metal of conflict is transmuted into the gold of self-awareness.
'What is your shadow trying to tell you, and how can you express it to find your true self?'
By using creative image-making such as painting, drawing, or collage individuals can externalise inner conflicts,
integrate disowned shadow aspects, and move toward individuation and wholeness.
In this lecture Sophia Farrington will explore the Pheonix Journey using creative image making to integrate the shadow
and consider questions such as:
* What if your most challenging relationships are actually the secret ingredient to your personal transformation?
* Can painting, drawing, or collage help you integrate the disowned parts of yourself?
Join us for 'The Phoenix Journey' to learn how to turn inner conflict into self-awareness through art.
