Creative Pathways

This immersive workshop is a multi-dimensional experience designed to help participants tap into their innate creativity. It combines lectures, guided workshops, group discussion, and experiential exercises. At the heart of the experience is a focus on creative self-discovery—participants are encouraged to explore freely, guided by structured activities and intuitive practices. A key feature of the workshop is a sound bath, which supports deep relaxation, inner focus, and heightened creative awareness. This sensory experience complements the hands-on art-making and introspective exercises, allowing participants to access deeper levels of imagination and expression.

A booklet with an outline of the workshop including the experiential exercises and a list of reading material will be provided to each participant. All art materials will be supplied as part of the workshop.

1. Participants will explore the relationship between the creative process and individuation.
2. Consider Jung’s idea that creativity is a connection to one’s passions and interests. Discuss ideas and examples.
3. Explore how the creative process can bridge the conscious and unconscious mind.
