“As we engage our personal and collective narrative - our myth - as if it and we are dreaming processes, we may gain entry to different ways of being in the world and within ourselves.”

Lying deep beneath our personal and literal histories, vaster regions of the psyche beckon the ego to awaken into the fields of the imaginal, the mundus imaginalis. Here we come across particular collective dreaming processes the human psyche has been cultivating over millennia.

Let us follow these archetypal dreaming processes through our bodies as soma guides us into our living extensions of active imagination through the psychic expressions of logos, eros, mythos, and chaos.

Having Jung’s theory of the functions of the psyche—thinking/feeling, intuition/sensation—as a supportive backdrop for our inquiry, we can engage our relationship to logos, eros, mythos, and chaos in their roles and contributions to individuation.

Heeding our mysterious telos, Psyche’s deeper intent for each of us, we are drawn down into the depths of the unconscious and beyond.

• The workshop will present artwork and the creative process behind how these images came into being. Invitations for participants to create their own forms of embodiment of I Myself am a Dream will be threaded throughout and framed within the context of their particular role in our unfolding myth: the individuation process itself illustrated through soma and symbol.

• A basic theoretical platform for participants’ understanding of terms will also be offered.
