The C.G. Jung Foundation presents

Active Imagination:
Entry to the Soul

a daylong seminar led by
Julie Bondanza, PhD

Saturday October 24, 2009
10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Tao’s working of things is vague and obscure
Obscure! Oh vague!
In it are images.
Vague! Oh Obscure!
In it are things
Profound.

Lao-Tzu. Quoted by C.G. Jung in
"A Study in the Process of Individuation"

In October, there will be the long-awaited publication of C.G. Jung’s Red Book, the work of active imagination developed by Jung over many years. In celebration of this publication, this workshop offers a chance to look at active imagination: its purpose, its methods, and its value in the process of individuation.

Jung called imagination “active, purposeful creation,” that can be used to consciously access the unconscious, producing “those contents of the unconscious which lie, as it were, immediately below the threshold of consciousness and, when intensified, are the most likely to erupt spontaneously into the conscious mind.” Jung notes that those engaged in active imagination can “begin to draw, to paint, or to shape their images plastically … they can also be expressed in writing.”

Participants will have an opportunity to experiment with several different ways of working with active imagination.
