Creative Mentorship

“We shall start from the creative function of the unconscious which produces its forms spontaneously, in a manner analogous to nature…”

—Erich Neumann, Art and the Creative Unconscious

Creativity is our nature.

Nature is inherently creative, forever producing forms that express more of itself. Our nature, as part of nature as a whole, participates in this dance of constant making — of iterative and original production and reproduction.  When we experience the feeling of “stuckness,” we are disconnected from this aspect of the creative self that is naturally inquisitive, curious, expansive, playful, and expressive. 

The trouble can often be finding meaning and purpose in our making in a world and culture that encourages constant output, often content for the sake of content, lacking in depth and real substance. Our culturally-imposed timelines for production and an external sense of pressure to always be visible drives us to lose our connection with the fertility of the unconscious, that source deep within us that strives to know more of itself. 

Whether we are artists, producers, or craftspeople, analysts, scientists, or theoreticians, creativity is what underlines and forwards our engagement with matter and with life. 

In creative mentorship, we work one-on-one to reconnect a powerful connection with this potent source of creation within us. We peel back the individual and cultural layers that have built up as barriers to the unconscious within us, and create permeability to our depths, inviting a potent flow of creative spirit through us. We practice returning to our natural state of curious play and creative inquiry. We work with the material of our lives to discover what wants to become manifest through us so that we can act as channel for substantive ideas, forms, and intuitive knowing to come into being. We return to our natural state of being in creation, in service to self and collective.

How We Work Together

Each mentorship is personalized based on your individual needs, desires, struggles, and intentions in this work. Private sessions are coordinated by phone, video call, or in person on Hydra, Greece. In these sessions, we’ll utilize Jungian and somatic practices to explore and engage with the aspects of the unconscious that may be standing in the way of creative insight, or that want to be given voice to offer their own unique insight or perspective. These sessions serve to be creatively activating while also working to regulate the nervous system to create a feeling of safety to explore one’s own creative depths. 

In addition to 1:1 sessions, there may be assigned readings, creative prompts, and somatic practices to further excavate and explore pathways to the unconscious. The specific assignments and unfolding of the mentorship are intuitive and based on your distinct journey through the process. The overarching intention of this work is to connect you to your own generative source of meaning, purpose and substantive creative engagement with the world.
