Active imagination is a way of entering into relationship with the living psyche and a practice of learning how to stay with what arises. This four-week depth psychology course explores imaginal work as an act of presence, listening, and dialogue with the inner world. Open to therapists, clinicians, healing professionals, and those curious about depth work, the course weaves Jungian foundations with somatic awareness and experiential practice, inviting participants to meet images, emotions, and inner figures with patience, respect, and care, rather than technique alone.
