When we enter the realm of the creative, we pass through the threshold of the merely rational and analytical and enter a world where the mystery of possibility invites us to explore that which is wanting to emerge.
The exhilaration of this quest is a journey of both personal and collective discovery. We invite you to join us in the beautiful seaside retreat on Ender's Island in Mystic, CT, as together with nationally recognized artists, authors, analysts, and educators we engage in the transformative field of the creative.
"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." Michelangelo
There can be no significant nor sustainable change without a conscious engagement of the creative. It is here that we are called to sail into deep waters, to travel to depths where we have yet to discover what lies below the dark surface of inspiration, waiting to be made manifest.
It is here in the deep waters of the creative unconscious where we confront both our fears and our hopes.
Jung, Neumann and von Franz recognized the role of the creative in maintaining the psychic equilibrium of a culture by making manifest that which was waiting to emerge from the collective unconscious. This archetypal approach removes creativity from the margins of cultural insignificance where it is too often placed as an aesthetic luxury and recognizes it as the foundational epi-center of a generative connection to psyche, soul and Self.
In this 3-day residency, you will hear from nationally and internationally recognized authors, analysts, artists and educators as they share the transformative insights that their creative work and research have brought into the world. In addition, you will have opportunities to engage in your own creative process by participating in art and movement workshops designed to allow you to access the field of the creative unconscious to discover what is wanting to emerge in your world.
We hope you will join us on Ender's Island, a beautiful oceanside retreat, for a weekend rich in scholarship, inspiration, artistic engagement and transformative learning.
