Join me for a guided group experience for artists at a turning point—those seeking to reclaim or reinvent their creative life through the lens of Jungian psychology. We’ll work with the unconscious, shadow, inner archetypes, and imagination to access new depths of self-expression.

The Creative Return is a 10-week group experience for midlife artists who are ready to reconnect with their creativity in a deeper, more authentic way. Guided by the insights of Jungian psychology and grounded in shared exploration, this group offers a space to reflect, remember, and reimagine what creativity can be now.

Through weekly conversations, symbolic reflection, and creative making, we’ll explore the unconscious forces that shape our expression. This is not about perfecting your craft. It’s about reclaiming your relationship with it.

We’ll work with image, symbol, and story—tools that speak the language of the unconscious and bypass the critical mind. These doorways into the imaginal realm help us access not just personal memory, but a deeper layer of the psyche that connects us to the collective unconscious: the shared well of human experience, archetype, and creative impulse.

This isn’t a skills course or a critique group. We’re not here to perfect technique or produce finished work.
We’re here to return to the source—to the deep wellspring of imagination, emotion, and mystery that fuels meaningful expression.

Each week, we’ll explore key Jungian concepts like the shadow, inner archetypes, and the creative unconscious. We’ll work with image, symbol, story, and somatic awareness to access new layers of insight and inspiration.

By engaging the imaginal realm—the language of the unconscious—we bypass the inner critic and awaken something more ancient, intuitive, and true.

Length:
10 weeks (90-minute sessions)

Group Size:
6–10 people for intimacy and sharing.

This group is for you if:

You’re a midlife or late-career artist feeling called to re-engage your creative life

You’ve felt blocked, burned out, or disconnected from your deeper voice

You’re seeking to work more intuitively, soulfully, or symbolically

You want to explore your creativity as a path of personal transformation

You’re craving a supportive, reflective space to create alongside others

You feel a quiet urgency to return to what matters—to reclaim what was once vital and alive in your practice

You don’t need to be producing finished work or call yourself a “working artist.” You just need the desire to reconnect—with your creative process, your deep self, and the unseen forces that shape the art you’re here to make.

What to Expect

Each week we’ll gather for two hours on Zoom in a small group of 6–10 participants. Sessions are spacious, soulful, and structured around a consistent weekly flow:

• Opening check-in and grounding

• Teaching on a Jungian theme (e.g. shadow, active imagination, inner figures, the child or artist archetype)

• Guided reflection (writing, dialogue, or somatic inquiry)

• Creative prompt + open studio time (collage, poetry, drawing, painting—mediums are flexible)

• Sharing, integration, or symbolic ritual

You’ll receive weekly invitations to explore between sessions, whether through creative practice, journaling, or paying attention to dreams, symbols, and synchronicities that arise.

This is not about mastering form—it’s about reawakening relationship. With your inner images. With your process. With the part of you that still knows how to play, wonder, and create freely.

• A guided exploration of Jungian themes (shadow, archetypes, inner figures, and the unconscious)

• Creative prompts to access inner images and deepen your expression

• Writing, intuitive making, and reflection practices

• Gentle accountability and shared support

• A container that honors mystery, emotion, and the nonlinear path of creativity

Core Themes We’ll Explore:

• Shadow and the Creative Block: Meeting what’s been hidden or repressed

• The Artist Archetype: Reclaiming your imaginative birthright

• Inner Figures and the Unconscious: Tuning into inner voices, allies, and saboteurs

• Symbol, Image, and the Imaginal: Working with the language of soul

• Active Imagination: Entering dialogue with the unconscious through image and intuition

• Creative Sovereignty: Creating from within, not for approval or performance

Each session weaves Jungian insight with lived experience, offering a structure that honors mystery, emotion, and the nonlinear path of creativity.

Opening check-in and grounding

Jungian theme/teaching (e.g., shadow, active imagination, the creative unconscious, anima/animus, the child or artist archetype)

Reflection practice (writing, dialogue, or paired inquiry)

Creative prompt and open studio-style making (poetry, collage, painting, etc.—flexible based on medium)
