Dr Carl Jung
For Jung, this mode of active seeing was a threefold process and one where the final stage was the most important – he said we had an ethical and moral obligation to make meaning from our encounters with images.
We will follow Jung’s tripartite framework and there will be time for quiet reflection and observation as well as discussion. The work of art will not be revealed until the evening but I can tell you that it is a painting which invites the viewer to both look outwards and inwards in order to step through the portal that art shows us. It is an image rich in detail and depth, guiding the viewer to realms of learning, wisdom and the soul.

BIOGRAPHY
Mary Attwood is an art historian, author, mentor and business creative with a particular interest in the ways in which our perceptions of art can awaken us to a deeper, embodied dimension of being we have lost in our post-modern age. She is a founding member and co-director of the Centre for Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred, and co- founder and co-director of Channel McGilchrist. She holds a BA (hons) in the History of Art from London University where she followed her passion to study Italian late medieval and renaissance art and architecture, while also pursuing her interest in Eastern philosophy, qualifying as a teacher in yoga, meditation and mindfulness, and co-authoring two books published by Watkins. She holds an MA with distinction in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred. She believes that the ways in which we engage with art can alter perceptions and consciousness and help us meet the complexities of modern living by offering a renaissance of humane and sacred values.
