Lesson 3: Emergence and Dialogue
In this final session, the image becomes a partner in awareness. What began as pure seeing was then transformed through imagination, and now meets you in a more direct exchange.

The Creative Process and the Living Image is an experiential course that explores how art becomes a living dialogue between awareness and imagination.
Rooted in depth psychology, modern art, and contemplative practice, this work frames creativity as inquiry: a way of seeing, sensing, and participating in what arises. You’ll work directly with perception, the afterimage, spontaneous mark-making, and the subtle shifts that occur when you stay with an image long enough for it to change you.
Rather than focusing on technique or aesthetics, this course guides you into the deeper intelligence behind image-making. Each session blends short teachings with guided creative practice and simple reflection. No art experience is required. You’re not making art about something; you’re learning to work with the image itself as it moves through form, gesture, color, rhythm, and sensation.
By the end, you’ll have a framework for using art as a way to see more clearly, listen more deeply, and relate to imagination as a vital and responsive part of your own life.
