This course mixes experiential with the theoretical in a venture that combines Jungian Psychology with Art Therapy. By using methods such as art-making, journaling and dream interpretation we shall engage creatively with psyche in a journey that promises to be both fascinating and educational.


Through experiential learning, the participant will get to know Jung’s model of the psyche and how to apply such insights in everyday life. For those in the healing professions, the course should enrich and enliven their existing skills. The Jungian approach is also especially suited to those with an artistic streak and for practicing artists seeking to discover new ways of creative working. Prior art experience is not necessary. This is a first in Ireland, and is being supported by prominent Irish ‘Jungians’ and by professional Art Therapists.
