"Exploring What Lies Within"
With tenderness and curiosity toward our psyche, we will use various modes of Active Imagination to uncover and acknowledge unclaimed aspects of ourselves. We will seek to become more conscious and accepting of our hopes, fears, wounds, and creative potential, and thereby become more alive and authentic.

"The Power of Images: A Case Study"
ISAP was given the original pictures made by David Blum when he faced terminal illness. David sought guidance and solace from his dreams and visions by painting them and engaging with the images through Active Imagination. The pictures speak of the joys, struggles, emotional turmoil, suffering, and wisdom David experienced. What insights and inspiration can this case study offer on healing and transformation in the journey unto death?
