She will also facilitate a workshop titled, </span><i><span>Lucid Dream Drama</span></i><span> with elements of Gestalt psychology, Psychodrama, Improvisation, and Lucid Dreaming. Volunteers will cast, direct, and if they wish, act within their dream ‘scenes’ with Dr. Morgan’s assistance. In this workshop, participants will learn when and how to creatively, intuitively rewrite and redirect parts of the dream ‘script’ (and when to leave the dream ‘script’ exactly as it is) in the service of healing and wholeness.</span></p>

Michael Smith on why we need sacred ceremony..... </p>
<p>Posted in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/DepthPsychologyAlliance/" target="_blank">Depth Psychology Alliance Facebook group</a></p>
<p></p>
<p>WHY WE NEED SACRED CEREMONY</p>
<p>Looking into the heart is looking into a spiritual mirror.<br/>Deeper than the surface vibrations and the distracting egoic-vibes <br/>are t<span class="text_exposed_show">he throbbing vibrations of the heart, and those that lie close to it.<br/>Within the heart, your own essential being, the Flow of Spirit is inviting<br/>you to open the doors and let the creativity and love move through.</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show"><p>It may take some time and effort to get to the deeper vibrations.<br/>We may have to strip away layers of false self, and the <br/>lies we tell ourselves. The masks we hide behind must<br/>come off. The clutching fear of the unknown must be released.<br/>Not always so easy. It takes courage and faith.<br/>It helps a lot to have supportive community and someone<br/>to keep us company.</p>
<p>When we arrive at the heart and catch a glimpse of our own<br/>essential being, of our own Archetype, waiting to be lived and<br/>creatively expressed, that’s when the flow of energy arises<br/>giving us the power to clean the heart vessel of its load of denser<br/>emotions and attitudes that hold us back from the Flow of Spirit.</p>
<p>When the heart is clean, purged of its excess, then authenticity,<br/>enthusiasm, and creativity flow, for the doors of the heart are<br/>now open and there is no obstruction to the Flow of Spirit.<br/>A tremendous vibration of love is released: the Creative Flow<br/>of Spirit. We then become a loving and creative force in the universe,<br/>in our communities and families.</p>
<p>Our creativity arises fresh and effective. We may express it<br/>as poet, or painter, healer or parent. The possibilities are endless.<br/>We each begin to express our artistry and contribute to the beauty<br/>of the cosmos and the world around us.</p>
<p>Of course no one is completely clean all the time. Not me either.<br/>Life can surprise us, and occasionally knocks us off balance.<br/>That’s why we need periodic mindful, non-judgmental self-examination,<br/>and periodic renewal through ceremonies and practices which help<br/>us return to the vessel of the heart which holds the baggage we<br/>have been accumulating. You know, the anger and resentment, the <br/>fears and envies, the attitudes and emotions that are dense and<br/>block the Flow of Spirit and thus thwart our own creative self-expression.</p>
<p>Fortunately we have assistance. Our hearts and the Heart of the Cosmos<br/>are always connected. The Spirit Flows through the Heart of Being-itself.<br/>The universe is inherently creative, powered by that “love that moves <br/>the sun and those other stars”* It is the function of ceremony, prayer,<br/>and chant to connect us with this source.</p>

Listen to my interview with Jungian Martial Artist Dr Jon Katz on Soul-Centered Creativity!https://depthpsychologyalliance.com/forum/topics/got-creativity-listen-to-my-interview-with-jungian-martial-artist2013-07-04T17:17:19.000Z2013-07-04T17:17:19.000ZDavid Van Nuyshttps://depthpsychologyalliance.com/members/DavidVanNuys<div><p>My guest today is Dr. Jonathan Katz and we’ll be discussing how he brings everything from the Chinese Martial Arts to Jungian Psychology, Transpersonal Psychology, Rogerian psychotherapy and more to bear on creativity.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jonathan Katz, Ph.D. is a Chicago-based Clinical Psychologist, who specializes in working from a mind-body approach, in combination with Jungian/Archetypal and transpersonal psychology. For over 20 years, he has been a student and teacher of traditional Chinese martial arts, meditation, and Qigong--an Inner Door student of Sifu Woo Ching practicing the White Crane System, which has its origins in the Buddhist monastic traditions of China and Tibet. In addition, he has been a musician--both performing and recording, an actor, director, producer, and writer. Jon specializes in working with creative artists, to help enhance creativity and performance, and with anyone who wants to bring more creativity and meaning into their lives and work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is a therapist with the Jung Center in Evanston, Illinois, and gives workshops and classes in "A Soul Centered Approach to Creativity", which incorporates an embodied, multi-arts, approach. In addition, he gives workshops on "Qigong and Psychotherapy", integrating Eastern meditative and energy practices, with Western psychotherapy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He is currently at work on a book about his approach to creativity.</p>
