​

Based on her book, The Soul’s Ministrations: An Imaginal Journey through Crisis (Chiron, 2012), Dr. Tauber will introduce her particular way of painting — a “soul-making” in the face of acute loss of soul.  It may be regarded as an example of Jung’s process of active imagination. Contemplating the symbolism in the series of the seventeen paintings depicted in the book, the focus will be on the archetypal divine feminine.  

​

Course objectives:

​

• Become familiar with the basic tenets of Jung’s process of “active imagination”

• Explore how active imagination can activate and respond to the energetic field of “soul,” as observed in synchronistic events.

• Better understand the archetypal divine feminine
