The Alchemy of Soul Making: Writing with Jung and the Poets

When the world is pulled out from under you, how do you respond? When catastrophe hits and life as you know it is gone, how do you birth a new sense of self? The tradition of alchemy has much to offer as a map for soul making. Join cultural historian Kayleen Asbo and poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer for four weeks of exploring the alchemical stages of inner life through the works of Jung, artists and poets from across the centuries. 

In each class, we will focus on a particular stage of development with its symbols of transformation—Nigredo/falling apart, Albedo/the deep waters of emotion, Citrinitis/the dawning of awareness and Rubedo/the birth of the true self—and then through guided writing prompts we will enter into our own creative writing practice.
