Flow is the currency of the Mystical Artist. Learning how to reliably tap into it’s current and give into it’s guidance alleviates the need for you to ever know where you’re going, let alone how to get there. Because the Muse knows. She will guide your way, but only if you’re willing to surrender, and let her lead.

In this training you will learn how to enter flow, sustain it, and ritualize your return to it, so that every time you do, your ability to sync with Her will be carved ever deeper.

Your art is a rendering of your internal Psychic Structure. Make no mistake. Having worked with artists throughout my career, I have seen this first hand. As a lover of great literature it is also as clear as day. Whether Joyce, Nietzsche, Rilke, or Jung – who was a Mystical Artist in his own right – they all wove their traumas, inferiority complexes, inflations and aspirations into their art. The question is not *if* your art is going to be a reflection of your Psyche, but *what part* you are going to reflect, and most importantly, whether you are going to do so consciously.

You may hear a million voices in your mind, but I guarantee that you are only two Over-Arching Symbols in your life and two Elemental Dynamics that you are living through day and night.

In this training you will learn to identify all this – the Light and Dark of your Archetype – and how to create in service to them.

Whether Theseus who stood up to Medusa, or Circe who stood up to her father, or Prometheus who stole fire to give to the humans. You are a myth and you have a destiny, a path that will either shackle you to a cliff or celebrate you with an apotheosis. When you know your archetypal purpose you can weave it into your every brushstroke.

Once you have developed your ability to step into Flow, and have understood the Archetype that is most going to peak your Soul, it’s time to sacralize your creative ritual by drenching your studio with unconsciously activating symbols. Think Perseus holding the head of Medusa by Cellini, or Medusa holding the head of Perseus by Garbati, or the sketch of Empedocles jumping into a volcano by Rosa or Circe standing in a pride of Lions by Barker. The trove of Great Art that we have at our finger tips offers you the ultimate in animating eros. With a cheap color printer and access to Google’s images you can render forth impeccable reproductions of archetypal patterns that will arouse the sleeping giant of your unconscious, as well and the trans-migrating wisdom of your previous life times.

There is nothing that holds an artist in a deeper embrace than the great works of her forbearers, going all the way back to the Venus and Magician cave paintings. You are not just connected to this lineage, you are a living expression of it.

Real art is not safe. It walks the line and often has to step over it to know where it ends. If your work doesn’t make you laugh or sweat, or double you over to weep, then you may be holding back from going deep. In this group you will be joined by a hand picked group of courageous artistic pilgrims on the path, walking against the current, into the wind, in order to find the Source of all things.

If art is to be impactful, it must impact you first. Learn how to trust that instinct inside yourself, in a community of unconditional safety and support.
