Linda Leonard photoThe call to create explores the hopes, visions, and wisdom that fosters a rich interior life and promotes creativity. It examines the insecurities, doubts, and obstacles that sabotage our efforts to create and change our lives. We will look at archetypal characters in the psyche that help or hinder creativity and transformation, see how to identify them, and channel their energies toward personal growth. Stages of the creative process, and the parallels between nature and creative transformation, offer a helpful model for the challenges of creative life. This material comes from Dr. Leonard's new book (due in bookstores in April 2000) called The Call to Create: Celebrating Acts of Imagination.

Workshop: Saturday, May 13, 2000, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Good Shepherd Center, Room 202, 4649 Sunnyside Ave. N., Seattle
$30 members, $40 nonmembers, $25 student/senior members, $35 student/senior nonmembers

Workshop participants will be invited to share dreams, images, and experiences relating to the creative process. We will look at ways in which these inner characters can be addressed in therapy and everyday life.
