Dr. Andy Solomon will offer an
introductory Life Context Workshop on Saturday, Jan. 10, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
in Plant Hall, room 327.
The workshop is based on the “intensive journal” method created by
psychologist Ira Progoff in 1966. It features a self-exploration technique to
develop personal growth and enhance creativity. Workshop participants are
helped, through simple writing exercises, to explore the depth and meaning of
their lives.
Progoff, a student of Carl Jung, founded the method after a study of creative
people led him to conclude that a key to their creativity lay in their being
more attuned to their lives than were noncreative people. More than 200,000
people have participated in the popular programs in settings as diverse as
colleges, churches, prisons, hospitals, corporate office buildings and army
installations.
Workshop facilitator Dr. Andy Solomon has been an authorized intensive
journaling consultant for 24 years, and he has designed and offered
undergraduate courses based on the intensive journal process since 1980.
Cost for this special introductory workshop is $50. Bring a bag lunch, a
journal, your favorite writing instruments (no laptops, please), and a readiness
to set the stage for an intensive personal journey. Registration is on a
first-come, first-serve basis.
