Retreats & Workshops
|
Over the years of her practice Djohariah has woven the Creative Process into her retreats and workshops. A blend of Jungian Depth Psychology and East-West spiritual traditions, Creative Process is based on the idea that within the unconscious and the soul there is an immense creativity waiting to happen. The methodology is designed to challenge our self-limits, confront the memories and wounds of the past, and free up the divine wilderness within.
These retreats and workshops are rooted in process therapy, dreams, poetry, the arts, eidetic imagery, and creation-centered spirituality. Through individual and group facilitation, participants directly access fields in the unconscious--where self-limiting beliefs, as well as profound creativity, exist side by side. Along with traditional therapies, Creative Process also incorporates the feminine element in healing work. And as the feminine is innately relational, this means exploring an uncompromising relationship to the whole self; to the inner world of feeling and intuition; to the body and its senses, and their vocabulary; it means exploring the archetypal language of dreams, synchronicity, and the numinous world of Spirit. |
