In this workshop, we'll take a deep dive into the wonders of the unconscious with one of its most intrepid explorers. Not many people know that Carl Jung had a serious journaling habit, which became the basis for his entire psychological legacy as the great mapper of the human soul. He was also funny, eccentric and highly inventive.

We'll be looking at the lighter side of Jung as a way to connect with our deepest selves and to take a peek into the wonderful, terrible and awe-inspiring treasure chest that is the collective unconscious.

Bring your metaphoric snorkel, mask, a waterproof notebook and your best underwater pen!
