Program Description.

By demonstrating how their own opposing functions influence their writing the presenters will help attendees to:

  • Understand Jung’s concepts of individuation and archetypal forces
  • Design their individual Type dynamics chart and use it in writing exercises
  • Bring less conscious functions into the light so that these functions become angels (messengers) rather than demons (fears)
  • Identify which functions come naturally in their writing and which are more difficult
  • Explore how the shadow functions can help further the individuation process
  • Improve their writing style by working with the opposing functions

Ann and Walter are presenting this workshop at the APT International Conference in Dallas, TX in August, 2009. This is an opportunity for you to preview this workshops and help the presenters refine their presentation.
