What would it be like to start off the New Year by having a conversation with the Earth? Holos Institute, a center for ecopsychology and nature-based therapy, will be hosting an Imaginal Stone Workshop in San Francisco on Friday, January 20, 2012 from 7-9pm.Uncovered in Death Valley in 1975, these billion-year-old sedimentary stones lend themselves to a projective process of personal discovery and active imagination.
In this hands-on workshop, Cyndera Quackenbush will lead a projective meditation process where the group imagination engages with the Imaginal Stones. Stories within the stones are found and expressed in writing, drawing and oral storytelling. Shared and explored with the group, these earth-inspired waking dreams can reveal personal life themes or messages for the culture. While this process is projective, space is held for the stones to speak for themselves through their vivid, often intense, naturally occurring imagery.
For more information and/or to reserve your space please visit the Holos Website.
FEE: $20 ($15 for students, interns, artists)
TIME: Friday, January 20, 2012 from 7-9pm
PLACE: Holos San Francisco Office
