The Healing Power of Symbols, with Dennis Klocek

Place and fees to be announced • Inquire for senior, student and work study discounts. For more information contact Valerie Hope, valerieannhpdx@aol.com
Since the most ancient times the use of symbolic imagery as a tool for healers has been a widespread and successful practice. This weekend workshop with Dennis Klocek will explore some of the foundational principles that allow us to choose and employ symbols to relieve stress and promote healing. Drawing on the work of Rudolf Steiner and Carl Jung we will work meditatively with alchemical medallions to explore the crystalline nature of archetype, the shadow force of the persona, the role of the guardian of the threshold, and the relationship between the human double and the human phantom. The workshop will be presented through lectures, meditative exercises and small group dialogue.
The Art of the Heart with Frank Chester
Saturday, September 29. More information to follow.
Frank’s work points to a science of the future. He is an artist, sculptor and geometrician living in San Francisco, and has taught art for more than thirty years in high schools and colleges. Since encountering the work of Rudolf Steiner, Frank has been exploring the relation between form and spirit, and he discovered a new geometric form. This geometric form demonstrates a remarkable correlation to the form and functioning of the human heart. Frank is uncovering indications concerning the relationship between etheric formative forces and the geometry, structure, and physiology of the human heart.
