Psyche

 

Friends with Psyche. First meeting notes

 Casual Alchemy: making friends with Psyche.  8.25.25     a 6-week Zoom Playdate   

Exploring the Intergity of the A-Logical

Sundays 3:30-5 EST  starting  Sun. Sept 14th             

Jungian Artist Daniel Mack is offering an experimental experience built more on the model of a playdate or a flea market, than a traditional “course”, believing that all of us are quite capable of creating and examining our own realities. We need more a guide than an instructor; that  important “learning” happens alone and privately; that browsing through interesting stuff is more powerful than assignments.  The Zoom format seems well-suited to this. The home-based participant is more in charge.  Each Zoom, Mack makes some short presentation and  the 12 of us kick it around (or out) and then get on to our “Presentations”: sharing the things we’ve made, recalling subtle, interesting encounters with people, animals. This is all in service of learning more about the elusive Psyche.   As Heraclitus put it: “A Nature  loves to hide”.  This is a six-week game of numinous hide and seek..

What Energy Workers and Artists can do

March 22. 2020
Well, time to start blogging  again
Wayward Artist’s most recent blog entry was, er, 2014
With all this new Time and Space, there are interesting opportunities for Mindful Makers,  Casual Alchemists and Wayward Artists
I particularly want to talk with others whose skill set does not include Making Ventilators
What are the ways we can be present?
So many people are “proactive.”
Is there a need for us to be ProPassive?
