PAST EVENTS:
A Presentation/Class of my Thesis
“Coming to Love: Awakening Madness into Madeness:
A painter’s Journey into the Underworld”
This presentation relates the experience of coming to know the unconscious through, dreams, active imagination and the process of the creative act. The resulting creativity is presented in the form of paintings that express a relationship with the divine. All of the paintings came out of the author’s descents into the underworld, which were brought on by loss. Further explored is how creativity becomes a way to help a person through this loss, as well as, a way to connect with the unconscious in order to find out what is needed to be born out of the descent.

Presentation: Creativity, Healing & The Dream
Friday February 8, 2013
7 - 9 pm
University of Alberta
Rm. 2-115 Ed. North
Sponsored by The Jung Forum of Edmonton
Co-sponsored by The Dept. of Secondary Education
"Dreams show us how to find meaning in our lives, how to fulfill
our own destiny, how to realize the greater potential of life within us."
- Marie Louise von Franz
The Way Of The Dream
Almost 28 years ago, I dreamt of a beautiful plum woman flowing as she moved through the forest. Hers was a special gift, for with her paint brush, she could touch both nature and paper at the same time.
I took up that paint brush and through painting the images in my dreams–I found a great healing. I would like to present through some of these paintings, the experience of coming to know what von Franz describes as the greater potential of life in us. Exploring this art through the work of Carl Jung, not just as theory--but lived experience.
