There are women throughout history whose creative work changed the cultural topography and opened new windows of conscious development.
In their writing, poetry, art, and dance, they crossed a threshold to archetypal realities that had been hidden in plain sight. By daring to express themselves in their own voices and through their own eyes they ushered us into a world that was as subversive as it was familiar. Their artistry speaks with “a thousand voices” because their work is rooted in the primordial image which, as Jung wrote: “enthralls and overpowers…transmutes our personal destiny into the destiny of mankind, and evokes in us all those beneficent forces that ever and anon have enabled humanity to find refuge from every peril and to outlive the longest night.” (CG Jung, The Red Book: Liber Novus) Their names read like a Who’s Who of literary and artistic fame, yet the reality within which they created was more often one of oppression, resistance and rejection. What gave these women the courage, stamina and inspiration to persist in spite of tremendous resistance and obstacles? Enheduanna, the first known author of the written word, who united opposing kingdoms and gave us the mythology of Inanna. Hildegard of Bingen, a German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, visionary, and polymath. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Karen Blixen, Maya Angelou, Frida Kahlo, Julian of Norwich, Charlotte Bronte, Ursula Le Guin, Martha Graham. How were these women able to connect so deeply to archetypal realities that were not yet a part of the collective consciousness? Are they representative of a creative genius that only a privileged few have access to or are they examples of an archetypal journey of creative engagement that is accessible to each of us? |

Weekly Webinars and Creative Discussion Circles Each of the course modules will offer a theoretical foundation for engaging with and developing creative work. Through the webinar presentations and discussion circles, students will be encouraged to connect to what is wanting to emerge creatively as well as to understand the archetypal trajectory of putting creative work into the public arena and what that entails. |
Creative Projects and Individual Mentoring In collaboration with the webinar presentations, discussion circles and readings, students will be encouraged to select a specialized area of creative engagement (writing, painting, poetry, sculpting, dance) with which to develop a creative project to place in the world. Students will have the opportunity to work with a Seeing Red Faculty Mentor in designing and developing a completed creative project. |
