   Drawing on Jungian concepts including active imagination, and using methods which integrate guided writing, intuition, and free association, therapeutic creative writing operates on levels of individuation, self-discovery, problem-solving, and wisdom-building. The course is based on constructive verbal and written expression of the interactions between the conscious and unconscious processes of group members. Myths, dreams, symbols, as well as art, music, literature and movies will be some of the starting points. There are no pre-requisites for taking this class. All who are interested are invited to attend.
