Fundraiser for Psychological Perspectives:
Presented by Naomi Lowinsky, Ph.D.
The "Sister from Below" is a fierce inner figure. She emerges out of reverie, dream, a fleeting memory, a difficult emotion -- she is the moment of inspiration -- the muse. She's a siren, a seductress, a shape-shifter . . . Why listen to such a troublemaker? Because She is essential to the creative process. In this workshop Naomi Lowinsky will present material from her new book: The Sister from Below: When the Muse gets Her Way. There will be time to engage your own Muse. Bring pen and paper.
Course Objectives:
- Describe the "Sister from Below"
- Identify the role of the muse in the creative process
- Give an example of how imagination deepens our understanding of soul
