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..
