“As the mind explores the symbol, it is led to ideas that lie beyond the grasp of reason.” — Carl Jung
Kafka’s mazes, Woolf’s waters, Austen’s troubled estates—despite appearing again and again in their work, these recurring symbols continue to inspire and ensnare readers decades after their introduction. In this single-session course, we will learn how to recognize and harness the kernels of the deep mind that crop up regularly in our own writing. Through a series of guided exercises, each writer will leave with a constellation of symbols unique to themselves to call upon for guidance when the muse abandons them.
