During this course, we will explore the creative healing process through the metaphor of alchemical symbolism and imagery, drawing from Carl Jung's analytical psychology and bringing in some of the theoretical and practical work of trauma specialist, Bessel van der Kolk. By examining trauma through the light of the stages and procedures of the alchemical myth, we can begin to understand the natural, cyclical, transformative process of growth and how traumatic disruption interferes with this process.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Personal Resilience with Christine Lustik<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Mondays, January 16-March 6, 6:00-8:00 PM<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>$200.00 for the 8-Week Course<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>Sliding scale is available.
