Book WorkshopWrite Your Undiscovered Self with Dr Rachel
According to Jungian psychoanalysis, deep beneath our everyday awareness we all have an undiscovered self who is the creative, animating and healing inner life-force behind our intuition, imagination and dreams. It is through learning to attune to the embodied wisdom of our undiscovered self that we can experience this deeper level of reality as an expansive cosmological web in which everything and everyone is connected. In this way, we can create the necessary conditions for living more fully, authentically and meaningfully.
Write Your Undiscovered Self is a five-week course grounded in Jungian psychology led by Dr Rachel where you will learn how writing and imagination can be used as a tool to support transformative growth.
The focus of the programme is on process, rather than outcome, and on what comes up in the writing, rather than craft, skills and technique. This means that you don’t need any previous writing experience to benefit from the course and there will be no pressure to read anything out. All you need is a spirit of adventure and curiosity!
Schedule
Week 1 Write Your Undiscovered Self Introduction
Week 2 Write Your Undiscovered Child Self
Week 3 Write Your Undiscovered Great Self
Week 4 Write Your Undiscovered Shadow Self
Week 5 Write Your Undiscovered Future Self
Sessions will include:
An accessible introduction to key Jungian concepts including the collective unconscious, the archetypes & active imagination.
Short writing exercises that will last approximately between 5 and 15 minutes.
Discussion in small groups focused on what comes up in the writing rather than the writing itself.
To help you get the most from the course, each week you’ll receive a worksheet with exercises to explore in your own time. The suggested time allocation to leave aside for the worksheets is 1-2 hours a week.
A note about self-care
Although Write Your Undiscovered Self is therapeutic, it’s not therapy so you are encouraged to go at your own pace and engage with the material at a level that feels right for you.
