Creative Alchemy: the power of symbols as a portal into the unconscious

By Gunnel Watkins, 1.30 - 3.30 pm, 28 June 2025.

Venue:Melbourne Lodge

Unlock the hidden language of the psyche through the ancient and transformative power of symbols. In this immersive workshop, we will journey into the fertile terrain of the unconscious, using creative expression as a bridge between the visible and the invisible, the known and the mysterious.

Symbols have long been used by mystics, artists, shamans, and dreamers to access deeper truths, awaken intuition, and catalyze inner transformation.

This workshop invites you to explore creative alchemy—where art meets psyche, and imagination becomes a sacred tool for self-discovery. Through guided visualization, symbolic inquiry, expressive arts, and group reflection, you’ll learn to:

- Practice interpretation of personal and archetypal symbols as messages from the unconscious. 

- Use creativity as a ritual for inner transformation

- Deepen your relationship with inner imagery

- Tap into the intuitive wisdom that lives beyond words

Whether you’re an artist, a therapist, a curious beginner, or someone craving a richer dialogue with your inner world, this workshop is an invitation to awaken your inner alchemist.

Come as you are—no art experience needed, only a willingness to explore.
