“Vision Quest: Healing with Jungian Depth Psychology and the Sacred Image” Lecture by Charles Gillespie
Speaker Charles Gillespie, MFA, LIAC, is an expressive arts therapist who integrates Jungian depth psychology, sacred imagery, and the creative process into his mental health counseling work. His approach explores how archetypal images, symbolism, and active imagination foster healing, meaning, and personal growth.
In this two-hour presentation, Jungian depth psychology will engage in dialogue with the sacred imagery of local artists, inviting participants to reflect on how images of the transcendent can open pathways to creativity, healing, and deeper understanding.
Join us March 7 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Stevens Gallery.  Click here for more information.
