The Theme Speaker for LOAS II,

Stefano
Carta, internationally recognized Italian Jungian scholar, will discuss his
views of the fundamental tenets of Jungian psychology, focusing on its
approach to the particular "nature" of "human
nature", a personal reflection on feeling, meaning, beauty and God
by a religious non-believer. These discussions will be illustrated by
myth and story telling, music and film, images, and alchemical and
clinical examples.

WRITING WORKSHOP
 Ellen
Schmidt
"How do I know what I think till I see what I say?"
(EM Forster) Everyone is welcome, whether you consider yourself a writer or have never written. Enjoy the magic of writing from the heart in a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment. The Writing Circle is a great way to connect creatively with yourself and others in surprising ways. Each day there will be a new spark, a special stimulus, that is practically guaranteed to ignite your creative energies. Come one, several, or every day. The Writing Circle has proved to be a wonderful way to discover and appreciate each other as well as a time for individual reflection, invention, and pleasure. Ellen Schmidt teaches writing in Ithaca,
NY. www.WritingRoomWorkshops.com

SOAP STONE CARVING
Candis Dixon
“The
mutability of stone teaches that things aren’t what they seem.
Winkling between viewpoints, we see one aspect and another and
another, each resolving seamlessly into the next. I think there are
parallels with how we see people: as we go beyond a superficial view
they morph into multi-faceted beings that constantly surprise us.”
(Arthur Eves, LOAS 2)
Candis Dixon makes and teaches art in Rhode
Island.
