JOIN OUR MONTHLY POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY WORK GROUP
On the third Saturday of each month The Inner Arts Center sponsors and exciting group for exploring the brand new field of Positive Psychology. Positive Psychology came to fore in 1998 when researchers started a concentrated focus on the non-pathological human strengths and experiences. Instead of illness, the psychologists focused on: happiness, character strengths, beauty, peak expereinces and more. >>Meets Every 3rd Saturday - Read more

SOULCOLLAGE® WORKSHOP
SoulCollage® is a creative process, created by Seena Frost, that relies on one's intuition. Using magazine and print images, workshop participants will be guided into a deeper awareness of imagination, resourcefulness and wholeness. SoulCollage® can be a catalyst for healing and inner awareness that opens the mind to spaces that have been left unexplored. It's this increased mindfulness that pushes us into new realms of inspiration and ultimately allows us to unlock our creativity and intuition.

Workshop - Late Summer or Fall 2008

ENTERING IMAGINATION
Tools For Insight & Inner Guidance
Using Focusing, Active Imagination, Guided Imagery with Music, and Dream Incubation to look inside your life
This course will cover every major tool I know for accessing your imagination for going inside, discovering more about oneself, and finding sources of insight and wisdom. Each of these tools have proven themselves as powerful ways to go deep to find: what is really going on below the surface of your life, what you really need to know to grow, and where you have been, where you are now, and what is coming up next in your life. Taught over three weeks, there will be plenty of in class practice and some out of class homework. At a later date, a second class, Navigating Imagination, will carry this training forward.

Course - Late Summer or Fall 2008

Course - Late Summer or Fall 2008

Upcoming Classes

TELL ME A TAROT STORY: CREATIVE EXPLORATION & WRITING WITH ARCHETYPES
Jung proved that the unconscious is loaded with archetypes. Archetypes shape how we see, feel, and move in the world. Fortunately, the Tarot captures the energy of many of these archetypes in beautiful images. This workshop will use the Tarot to bring the archetypes alive for you to see and explore.

THE MODERN KABBALAH
The Modern Kabbalah is not Madonna's, Britney's, Lindsey's, or your Rabbi's kabbalah. This course puts the powerful structure of this long-lived transpersonal system into modern terms by using what we learned in the 20th and 21st centuries in the fields of psychology, psychophysiology, and religion. The course includes homework exercises.

DAYDREAMING: EXPLORING OUR FANTASIES, DESIRES, AND THE SECRET ROLES WE PLAY
In every situtation, just below the surface, are the fantasies, desires, and roles that guide our lives. Usually too busy to look, this world of our daydreams is waiting to be discovered if we use the right tools to see and feel what is there. This course will cover everything you need to capture your daydreams and be conscious of their good and bad influences.
