Living the Symbolic Life with Poetry and Jungian Psychology

 


IPTN - 2nd session of Wellness Through the Seasons for 2021   

10th April 2pm - 3.30pm

‘Living The Symbolic Life With Poetry and Jungian Psychology’.

 "What we call a symbol is a term, a name, or even a picture that may be familiar in daily life, yet that possesses specific connotations in addition to its conventional and obvious meaning. It implies something vague, unknown, or hidden from us. As the mind explores the symbol, it is led to ideas that lie beyond the grasp of reason". C.G.Jung

Would you like to explore what are the important symbols in your life and how you can bring them to light through poetry?  In this afternoon of musings we will work with some of the published poetry of George Swede, Galway Kinnell and Dennis O’Driscoll.  Reading and writing  poetry, and sharing our thoughts alongside a backdrop of Jungian psychology

Held on Zoom and facilitated by Theresa Kelly

€15 or €10 for IPTN Members
