    • Självhjälp

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Gustav Jung
Did you know that your dreams can speak? This is the first of our Jungian Psychology series with Kate Donohue and Chandini Harlalka. In this episode we explore our shadow selves and how dreams and art bring out our unconscious in ways that are not doctored.
Jungian Psychology or analytical psychology founded by Carl Jung (pronounced "Yung") in the 1920s is an emperical science in Psychotherapy that has its roots in science-based rationalist philosophy, but integrates ancient and esoteric practices like metaphysics, universal consciousness and astrology. Over time, this study has become popular and more of an art as it integrates intuition with core concepts of psychology.
Kate Donohue is a stalwart with >33 years in Counseling Psychology and expressive arts therapy where she takes a Jungian oriented approach. She has been teaching for >30 years, at such institutions as California Institute of Integral Studies, Institute for Transpersonal Psychology, JFK University and the San Francisco C.G. Jung Institute. Kate is also a cofounder of the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association. Her work as an expressive arts therapist stems from her own deep and abiding passion for the arts. Kate is involved in visual arts and dance, having spent 18 years studying indigenous and ethnic dance forms, in particular West African and Afro-Cuban Dance. Her visual arts work in painting and drawing has helped her in understanding the sacred feminine and understand her own inner terrain.
Chandini Harlalka is a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist and a Psychodrama Director. Her work is rooted in experiential methodology and Eastern contemplative traditions. Chandini is committed to a path of self-inquiry and through her work, Chandini aims to disrupt habitual patterns of behaviour by challenging perception that lock us into cycles of dissatisfaction.  Her work combines the use of fine arts, authentic movement, drama, sand-play and other experiential forms to create a representation of thoughts and feelings. Her work with dream analysis and Jungian concepts helps one to explore and engage deeper with indigenous concepts of symbolism, myths & rituals and to retrieve lost meaning in modern day living. Her workshops on “Rangoli Meditations”, “Cosmic Dance of Shiva and Shakti - A divine union and the dissolution of duality”, “The Unfolding Lotus”, “Hiranyagarbh” (The Golden Womb) have been experiential expressive arts workshops, working with Eastern concepts, and take you through a spiritual experience of healing and the divinity of ‘Self’.
