Madrona is excited to partner with Red Butte Garden to offer a transformative full-day workshop with Doug Van Houten!
“The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
The language of the soul is symbols. The soul speaks to our everyday consciousness primarily through imagery manifesting through dreams, memories, creativity, and encounters with culture and nature.
This symbolic imagery helps the unconscious mind express itself in a way that the ego can understand and integrate. These images are central to who we are and are imbued with profound meaning, memory, emotion and vision. Such images point toward the mysteries and destiny inherent in a human life.
Together, we will work with deep imagery, movement, and embodied dialogues with the land and wild others as entry points of meaning and significance on your own journey of self-discovery and wholeness.
“This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.” – Mary Oliver
